I have started using historical minors because I want the extra players but there are always some players that are overrated. I live with that and the unrealistic frequency of season-ending injuries (even on low) because it is more fun with more things to manage.

I usually edit the financials and owner traits to make them more realistic and put all of the teams on an even footing to start. I also edit the GM tendencies to remove the extremes, so I don't have some team trading all of their stars in the first year. I sometimes edit the contracts of star players to keep them signed to their historical teams for a few years, otherwise the first free agent class can be too rich.
Ya know... I think I'm going to try some of that . Good post! Thanks for the help.
