I tihnk it'd be cool to turn the clock WAY back to turn of the century, 1920's, 1910's . . . what is that anyway? Nineteen tens? Nineteen teens?
Failing that, '60s are cool.
Stadiums would be neat if you could keep 'em in tune with the era.
I edited fan interest market sizes etc in my online league to make them all the same . . . one of the owners pointed out that's maybe not such a good idea, as the game tries to set that stuff in accordance with salary - to make sure nobody goes broke first year out on the field.
Be prepared to float a team cash if they remain largely unchanged regards their rosters but you've cut back their market size.
