Correct. Created a custom nations and city file that includes about 200 fictional city names. So, all of the players come from the fictional cities in my fictional country, Metropolitan Republic. No foriegn players enter the league. I even created a fictional flag to represent the country. The country is about half the size of the U.S. with the furthest city in the west being as far away as Houston is from New York. I did use U.S. city latitudes and longitudes to set up my city file. That made things easier since I'm familiar with distances between U.S. cities.

The majors have a 25 man roster plus a 15 player reserve roster from which to replace injured players. There is also an FA pool, as well.
Yes, the Indy teams do trade with each other only, but not with major clubs.

The reserve rosters have worked out great. I'm really happy that we can now limit reserve roster sizes in OOTPX. Mine are now limited to 15 players. I'd go with 10 reserve players if the game allowed it. One of the cool things about the reserve roster is that players still develop while on it.

Yes. It was a good looking map. Nice the way it showed mountains and forest areas. I've looked at other map making software for making maps, but I'm quite satisfied with mine.
