I have played a lot of fictional and current MLB, but I still prefer historical. It is a digital Field of Dreams with me as a GM/Manager. "And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces."


Regarding your specific questions:

Yes, it bothers me to see Williams as a Yankee. I like to play with rookies imported to their debut teams, but it doesn't take long before some trade or free agent signing bothers me. I have tried historical transactions but that is pretty boring, so I just force myself to accept whatever the AI does. As I get older, it seems to bother me less so maybe someday I will be really bold and try random debut.

The real stats line is nothing for me, because I pretty much know who did what anyway. If I really wanted fog of war, I would play fictional.
