OOTP offers a number of real world leagues. The structure, rules, and options of these leagues have been configured to match the real world as closely as possible, although some player and team names have been changed due to licensing concerns. Below are the steps in the Standard League Creation Wizard:
Step 1 - Select Standard League
In Step 1 of the Standard League Creation Wizard, choose one of the standard leagues provided in OOTP:
Step 2 - Scouting, Ratings and FaceGen
In Step 2, decide on the accuracy of scouting in your game, the scales used to display player ratings, and your preferences for the FaceGen settings that determine how player portraits are created:
Step 2 - Universe, Profile, Play Mode, and Team Selection
In Step 2 of the Standard League Creation Wizard, you make some final decisions about how your league is set up.
First, decide on a name for your game and the starting year for your game. You can also decide how often the game will save automatically - daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
Then, select a name, nationality, and birth date for your manager.
Next, decide whether or not to play in Commissioner Mode. If the Play in Commissioner Mode check box is selected, this manager is also the commissioner and has the ability to interact with the game in many ways that managers can't. You can also choose to act only as a General Manager, in which case on-field management will be handled by your manager, and whether or not you cannot be fired.
Finally, select a team to manage. During league creation, you can choose to manage any team in your league. You can choose to start unemployed, but be careful - once you start the game, you are at the mercy of team owners, who might not want to hire a greenhorn like you!

When you are done, click Start Game! OOTP will process all the information you have selected and drop you onto the Manager Home Screen screen. If you want to add more leagues into this world, you can do so through the Game Setup option.
