You can also start a historical game in 1901 then uncheck "import historical rookies", and release all players from their teams and delete all the free agents. I you then go into the league setup you can fill teams with fictional players. By doing this you not only get the financial imports but also get the historical settings for errors and such. Just an idea for those that don't mind a few extra steps to get the realism effect. I've done this in 1871 and 1886 or 1888 and it worked fine. You could even start with roster size larger then after creating fictional players set the size lower and have some game ready players in AAA right off in case of injury. Did this once to see what if and liked it. I've noticed this works much better than creating the players in the Free Agents screen in Commish Mode. Quite often the players have either no fielding ratings, no ratings at all or for some reason they show up later after I've done a draft. Real pain.
