Historical simulations are the primary way I use OOTP, going back to when I first found the game (OOTP3).

I used to manually create minor leagues for them, but now the automatic historical minors free me up to experiment with fictional independent leagues. With the addition of better winter league implementation in 19, I can now create the California Winter League, Mexican Pacific League, Cuban Winter League, etc, and actually have players from MLB and elsewhere (especially Negro Leagues, reflecting what happened in real life) participate. It really is better than ever for what I like.

The first thing I usually do with each new version is simulate from 1871-present year and go through it looking at how all my favorite players/teams did. Then I will create another to potentially GM in.
