Here's my little story for today...

So, I tried a league with real teams, ran it four seasons. I just get too upset when the Yankees lose - even more angry than in real life! I ended up deleting it. I definitely don't play OOTP to get frustrated. A few years ago I even tried once to swap the nicknames of New York and Boston. I changed their names to the Boston Yankees and New York Red Sox. I still ended up rooting heavily for the New York team. Also when I was running my North American Baseball League, I was biased toward the New York Empire. This is why I only do leagues with fictional teams, based in fictional cities that I have no prior biases to, and these are the types of leagues that I have enjoyed best in the past. Similar to this I only use fictional players in my leagues for this very reason.

So, I'll start a 2nd dynasty with completely fictional teams, but smaller than the IPA, probably 40 teams - that way I can use the 30 major league stadiums and 10 Korean league stadiums that come with the game - one for each team. And it can have promotion/relegation, with a shorter season format, probably about 60-80 games.
