Choosing leagues affects which teams will be available, obviously. For example, if you choose Polish Extra League, you can choose teams from I league or only Extra League to be playable. It affects mainly two things: pace of the gameplay (more or less leagues to simulate) and number of players available in the gameplay. The latter is also affected by size of the database.
Moreover, you can also change some advanced options now. When you move the cursor over an option, its description appears. I recommend turning on Show players attributes. It lowers the realism but you'll be able to see all stats of a player, without an in-depth observation.
You can add and remove leagues during the game but changes will appear after the season ends. To do it, choose Add/Remove Leagues.
