I don't think you can do this with a reserve roster. What MIGHT work is to set an active player age limit of, like, 22 for the major league. I've never tried, but it might get you there. Sorry, I don't remember right off where this is in the league settings.

* salary cap - same salary cap for every team, and it never changes season to season
Sorry, can't help you there. Setting it should be in the Financials menu, but if it keeps changing I don't know why.

* fictional only
Choose "New Custom Game" at the starting menu and it will walk you through the basic setup. You'll have to switch to Advanced Mode (button in the bottom left) to make some of your tweaks though.

Quote:
* sim 10 years out without having sim each season (and be stopped numerous times) separately
Put yourself in Commissioner Mode to start with, then choose to auto-play/sim "until specified date". Pick your date, then go do something else while it sims. Or, you can watch the standings year-by-year and stuff if that's your thing. You can take yourself out of Commish Mode when you're ready to take over a team.

Quote:
* job offers if I refuse a job in the first season (I currently have been testing a league where I refused a job the first season and haven't been offered one since, 5-6 years later
Use Commissioner Mode to give yourself one? Not sure why you wouldn't get any more job offers.

Quote:
* perfect "short season" number of games
Depends on what you consider a perfect number. What are you looking for?

Quote:
* how to figure out what HOF criteria should be like in relation to X number of games during the season
Multiply the criteria by the ratio of your league's games to 162. For example, if you had an 81-game schedule, 81/162=50%, so just half everything. That way everything stays consistent. Depending on your number of games, you may want to do some rounding if you don't want to have, say, 352 homers be the criteria.

Hope that helped!
