How do you set up your pro-rel league?

I'm currently working on what will be my largest OOTP league ever (a huge, century-spanning system of Canadian pro-rel leagues) and would love to use any knowledge others may already have on this topic so I don't screw things up too badly.

A few questions on my mind are:

- Do you have minor league teams or just reserve rosters? My "theme" is closer to soccer than baseball (and I don't want to have to create hundreds of extra teams to fill out a minor league system!) so I'm leaning towards reserve rosters, but I'd love anyone else's input.

- How well does the game function without a draft? I'm also leaning towards not having one of those, but I've never even played a regular league without a draft so I'm a little hesitant.

- I have certain teams that I want to be "major" and ones that I want to be perennial underdogs and third-tier fodder. I'm planning to edit and adjust the teams' financial and market info to accomplish that, but does doing so wreak havoc with the game's internal financial engines or is it pretty flexible?

Those are all the q's I have right now, but I'm sure there's other advice that would be super helpful that I haven't even thought to ask.

Thanks in advance!
