I took a quick look in the game and the 1871 setup is ... well, it's sub-optimal.

As mentioned before, the game creates an imaginary format of two leagues, one of four teams and one of five. The league default setting in the Options menu is for a 30-game season with no interleague play. But the ML schedule included with the game calls for a 32-game schedule and interleague play. So that schedule won't load unless you do some tweaking. Also, the schedule starts on day 18 rather than day 1 - I honestly don't know how that happened or if it has any effect on whether the schedule loads or not. In short, 1871 is a mess - but then so was the National Association, so that's accurate.
