This is amazing. Think of the amount of work required to create this. That being said, the whole time I'm playing, I'm thinking......so once the season is over...it's over.

I don't get the appeal of doing a historical season this way. If I do 1998, I already know the Yankees are good and the Devil Rays aren't. For me, the appeal of doing historical play is is career mode so a good team can become bad over time and visa versa, and you work on trying to build your bad team into a good one. Or, the appeal to me is to have players from different eras mixed so I can have the Micky Mantle/Jake Arrieta match up (for instance).
There's just no appeal to me in trying replicate past results.
