This is a good thread - glad I stumbled on it.
Having been weened on SOM and APBA, I had much the same confusion coming into the OOTP world. I've gradually come to understand and appeciate the game on its own merits by playing hours of solitaire.
I'd been contemplating joining a league but not certain how it works. Raidergoo's explanation has gone a considerable way toward alleviating this concern.
Regarding how to start, I've had the most fun picking up an expansion team in 61 and running a quasi-historical sim from there. After tweaking the settings back and forth - the Aging, the Development and especially the Talent Change Randomness factor - I'm very happy with my latest project. As someone said in another thread, the default settings in these areas is lousy. A "best practices" section on this board that discusses settings for all the various replay or fictional scenarios would likely be invaluable.
