I am messing around setting up a fictional league that starts in 1980. Fictional teams, fictional leagues, fictional structure.

I have use real historical rookies unchecked. Use random rookies is unchecked. In fact, all of the historical progression settings are unchecked.

A couple of years into the league (I'm still building it and running tests), it starts to feed real players into the league. At first, I thought, "cool, a fictional player named Daryl Strawberry," but then I noticed a bunch more early 80s real players.

When you pull up those players, they are indeed the real players with real stats. They have all entered the league as free agent signings. None (that I have found) have come in through the draft.

Is there some double-secret setting somewhere that I have missed? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
