Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist, but if I start a league in, for example, 1871, I expect logos to look like they did in that time period. But team logos should change over time, as should their stadiums. I love many aspects of fictional leagues, yet can't deal with all the little updates I feel it takes to keep a league legit over the years.


So, I guess I have a couple of questions:
• Do you update logos and stadiums for your league over the years, or do you just stick with the same stuff you start the league with?
• And, more broadly, any tips or suggestions for how I can get over this psychological hump I'm experiencing? (Other than therapy. )

Yes, I personally put in a ton of time with my fictional universes. It is very labor intensive but that is how I enjoy the game the best. I like to take that birdseye view and watch things unfold. Not only do I update logos and such but I also manually edit city populations, league schedules and player names to fit the era of play. I have created a few formulas that I use with a random number generator to determine whether a league expands or folds. I also do the same with individual teams in terms of whether they relocate or simply fold. It is a lot of fun.
