New private league formation

Hey all, newbie here. Just started on a Auto League to get a taste of what I am searching for. Goal is to pay for a private league to play against old friends. We all became friends 40 years ago playing the SSI Computer Baseball sim on our Apple IIe in the late 80's. From what I have seen, this looks like a great replacement. We aren't looking for great graphics, just trying to recapture the simplicity of our childhood. My question to the group- how is the statistical realism compared to other sims?

Also, can we play head to head remotely? Back in the day we had to sit next to the other guy and turn your head when he made a defensive/offensive move. But we were able to knock out 10 games in no time at all. I read somewhere you had to wait 8 hours between games- is that true? Our schedules are all across the board. Getting in a series in one night would be ideal....
