Hi all, does any fictional player have some tips for creating a fictional game with fictional players please?

I have only previously played the standard MLB games in the last version and for this release want to set up my own fictional league and have a few questions, i have already decided to keep the same format as current MLB, with 30 teams, and same about of rookie leagues etc and have changed names. Ideally i am looking at roughly following historical stats through the different eras but not following the historical rule changes, so i will begin with the current rules, drafts, finances and stadiums, my questions are below:

1. Would you recommend starting earlier than intended and dimming through 10-20 years, and if so would it then be best to wipe the history and start fresh from the year i want to (still undecided what year to begin from)?

2. With regards to stats, if i started the game at a set year would the player stats evolve naturally from year to year, or would i need to auto calc regularly? and would the stats follow the historical stats or could i set it up to just evolve not following historical ones?

3. If simming through a number of years do teams and the league also evolve, ie: expansion teams open, teams move locations and in this years version is there any evolution in team stadiums or will i need to do all of this manually if i want to make changes?

Many thanks
