Really enjoying it to be honest. I have an 1871 Historical League up through 1886 that's quasi-based off current MLB (162 Game Sched, 5 Man Rotation, Heavy Bullpen/Closers) and it still manages to feel pretty realistic. More so to me than the normal PF file was doing for me.
Also did a 1961 Historical literally just going year to year without touching anything except Voting HOF. Currently through 1968 but it's great seeing Harmon Killebrew potentially flirting with 500 HR (went from 49/50/49 HR to low 30s as the pitcher era's taking over by 1965). Hank Aaron's been consistent as hell just like real life: 33, 35, 26, 38, 30, 43, 33, and 23 HR thus far.
Sandy Koufax is being Koufax currently sitting at 175-91 with a 2.37 career ERA and has exploded from age 26-32. Bob Gibson's flashed some greatness (20-8 and 21-7 in 1963/1964, 21-9 in 1968) but he's also had some struggling seasons and just got traded to the California Angels in 1968.
I like the feel overall of these. They feel realistic to radically different eras without making me think certain players are "cheated" or playing extremely differently than real life. Maris had 51 HR in 1961 but has consistently been in the upper 20s since then while Mickey Mantle's proven to be a better 30-40 HR range hitter.
