First, you will want to set up a Historical League in "Career Mode".
Once your league is created, you will want to go to the League Settings --> Historical tab and Uncheck the "Automatically import historical rookies" checkbox.
Then, you will want to go to the Rules tab and adjust the settings on your draft. It's default number of Rounds is probably way too high. You will want to lower that to whatever you prefer. I believe general defaults are now 20 rounds with players for 25.
Finally, to get the International players you will want to go to the "Players" tab and enable all of those options that are currently set to "None" to your preference (but "Default" is probably the best place to start.
Those are the main things off of the top of my head. You will have to decide some other things, like if you want the stats/strategies to stay at 1999 settings or evolve like "real life" through the 2024 season. That option is on the Stats & AI page.
I would recommend going through all of the other settings and just making any common sense changes you might want and of course Backup/Test a bit to make sure things are progressing like you would like...but I think this covers the main process.
