Also, the v9 demo is what made me preorder 10. However, it only allows you one season. That is why I've been unable to try this out.

Thanks again.
Sorry, I wasn't terribly clear. There are two ways to setup your leagues using real historical players from the in-game database:

a) Players will automatically be placed in the organization they debuted with in the year they made their ML debut. In this example, A-Rod would show up in the Mariners organization prior to spring training 1994. In this setup, there is no draft - players are just placed on the teams in the offseason.

or

b) Players are drafted in the year they make their ML debut. In this case, A-Rod would be in the 1994 draft pool and could theoretically end up on any team.

His abilities in either scenario can be based off his real-life stats for his career (called recalc in our lingo; this produces pretty realistic stats) or follow the game engine development (anything could happen - he could be even better or never hit a lick).
