Did Historical Replay get any lovin'?

Last year was a great start! When ever I get tired of the league I'm playing, I always play a historical series to keep myself interested.

But there were a few minor issues:

1. Could we have the ability to set the uniforms and stadiums when setting up the game?

Right now, if you want the teams to have the proper uniforms and play in the proper stadiums, you have to exit the historical exhibition and then restart it. That in turn messes up a bunch of other things. For example, if you pick two teams for a series - one from 1957 and one from 1967. When you exit, then enter again to set the stadiums and jerseys (using those wonderful historical stadiums Silvam created) both teams wind up from 1967.

2. Tournaments/Full Playoffs! In addition to recreating a World Series, and since we're getting the ability to set up tourneys in our own leagues, lets have the ability to recreate the entire playoffs from a season. aka Wildcard round, League Championship round, World Series. That could be really fun!

Same here. I'm hoping it gets a LOT of lovin!

Tournaments with historical teams would provide endless options. Final 4 style would be great - Personally, I always wanted to do a "best of the rest" style with the best teams never to make the playoffs - think 1978 Red Sox, 1993 Giants, etc.

Nothing about it in the OOTP18 feature list. Hopefully, it'll be included in

...and more to be announced prior to release!
