i think he made a modern league with 2015 settings.

you need to make a historical league in the game creation wizard. if you want to do some of the advanced options during creation, select 'advanced options' at end of wizard. the wizard should ensure you select the year you want to start and how the players are to be rated etc etc.

i've created a few over time, but never played them much and not recently. otherwise i'd give more specifics. the gui should make it clear during creation, though if you use the wizard.

fwiw, you do want that initial "historical year" value in stats and AI to be 2015 that first year, and whne you create a historic league that will be done for you, most likely... it will also auto-increment to 2016 and so on... once it surpasses current year, it remains the same unless you turn on league evolution or change it by hand. (for future use, historic but not historic settings can be done by setting this to 2019+ etc... i usually put in 2051 or 2101 etc. is 2018 or 2019 the point it changes? just avoid it for sure)
