I play several fictional leagues--some US-based, a couple foreign, one global.

All of them have several things in common. I never use the DH rule and never have interleague play. I always use finances, and I always leave foreigner levels at around 30%. Also, I use AAA, AA and A level minors.

I've never modifed the baseball level of the countries in a league universe before--how is that working out? I've thought about doing that, but wondered if it would impact other leagues that I play. I don't have the game runinng right now, and I don't remember if you modify national baseball levels in-game or when you are in the process of creating a league.

My global league has 24 teams--two leagues with three divisions of four teams each. The divisions are regional: one European, one North American, one African, one Asian, etc. The teams are based in cities I've either visited or like for other reasons.

My United Baseball League is an integrated league that started in 1950 and consists of Negro League teams and fictional teams.

My Summer Baseball League started in 2003 and is US-based. Again, all fictional teams. I chose team names based on jerseys I particularly liked in the mods forum. Someone made a great looking jersey for a fictional team called the Anacondas, and so I grabbed it for my Billings, Montana team.
