One of the things I began doing as far back as OOTP5 was create a fictional league and change all of the players' names to those of guys I went to school with. I would just open my high school yearbook, call up a list of all players and rename them, one by one.
Each time a rookie class was generated I would rename those guys, too, getting the names from graduating classes before or behind mine.
It's fun to see how their careers turn out. Who becomes a star, eventually reaches the Hall of Fame, who winds up stuck in the minors, etc.
Another fictional league I have going in my OOTP12 game is called the United Baseball League. It consists of a select group of Negro League and MLB teams. All of the teams are integrated, but all of the players are fictional. The start date is 1950. The back story is that some kind of US economic catastrophe led to MLB's decision to contract and join with a group of Negro League teams to form a new league. So you get to watch classic matchups between, for example, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Kansas City Monarchs.
