What's new/better about OOTP 23 Historical?

Hi all - I only really play historical sims, and I'm just wondering what's different than '22. Sorry for such a basic question, and if it's easily available online, please share a link. Mostly all I'm seeing in reviews are for more general updates.

Thanks!

I guess the most obvious thing is being able to modify the uniforms more. I didn’t think I would care for it but now I like it.
If you play 3d they are fewer issues and they have added a few plays.
They redid the game engine but I don’t know how much I like it. I was playing 3 year double weight recalc but I had a couple issues with it. I am now doing a straight historical using 1 year recalc (just a couple years in) and I am liking the results so far.
Added something about catcher framing. Added sortable stats.
Other than the things I mentioned, you probably can’t tell the difference while playing out the game.
I think those are the most obvious things but there is a long list on the forum somewhere of all the “improvements”.
Someone will probably post a link.

Improvements to the NeL players is the massive difference. Still some way to go but at least they are usable now.

Is there a way to create a league of each team's best seasons without having to add the logos, caps, uniforms, etc?
