I played ESPN Classic Fantasy Baseball a couple of times. It wasn't my cup of tea, I am the dreaded solo replayer. However a friend of mine wanted to try it so we jumped in a league together. This was at least 6 or 7 years ago.
So, my knowledge is minimal, but if you want to know what it was like, go play the historical fantasy game at IS. It was nearly indentical to what they do over there. Oh, the salaries may be changed, but the structure is pretty much the same. Pay $9.95, build a team out of all players who ever played. Players were assigned salaries and you had to stay under the salary cap. Games were played at a clip of three (or a series) a day. You could make trades, pick up and drop players through the approx. 90 day season. There were incentives to win, like getting a free team, or a two for one bargain, something like that. My memory could be a little fuzzy on these details, but that all seems about right.
I do not recall if it was specifically advertised in the game, but I recall being aware that it was the DMB engine driving the outcomes. Tom Tippett may have been attached as a developer and that was how I knew it was DMB engine driven. I already owned the DMB PC game at that time and can recall extolling it's virtues a time or two on the league chat screens.
Not a great amount of info, but hope it helps.
