I'm playing a historical replay now and mostly enjoying it. But... you see I have this problem. I know too much about baseball history. I see a transaction happen, or a player do a thing, or fail to do a thing and catch myself shouting "that could never have happened!" Even though the game is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. It's all in my head I know. But I can't get it out!
So my preferred way to play is entirely fictional. For my fictional leagues I have two rules: 1) do not use any name or logo of an actual team that existed. It HAS to be all new. And 2) No reserve contract rule. In my fictional leagues baseball was never given an anti-trust exemption so free agency was a thing from the get-go.
I kept a fictional game running for several versions of OOTP and 90+ seasons of game play. I really enjoyed it. I may pick it up again but I'm thinking of trying something new. New teams, rules, logo & uniform concepts etc.
Online play was never my thing and I lost interest in modern MLB play pretty quick. I watch it on TV almost every night anyway. At least OOTP tile is something new and different.
