Here's my fictional MLB setup. Like Germaniac, I moved Houston back to the NL and the Brewers back to the AL where they both belong. Added my expansion teams to get to 36 teams.
No inter league play
No DH
26 man roster - 11 Pitchers, 14 Hitters, AI decides what it wants for the 26th spot. I like the way this works, because I've noticed AI teams carrying anywhere from 6-8 relievers. Plus it seems to match the managers style as well - Mgr's with quick hook tend to carry more MR's.
18 games against div opponents, 6 against the other 12 teams in league.
Only 1 wildcard team per league. Best of 5, best of 7, best of 7.
All fictional players, started 2001 using 1985 stat settings.
I play in Fan mode - don't run a team, just the league. Been a lot of fun so far. I play 1 day at a time and usually watch (play out) 1 game every day. Just pick random teams so I slowly get to know the players.
