If you're looking to only mess with your team of choice, and don't mind what the CPU does with the other teams, I would go with the 25-man roster. Basically, take the 25-man roster that had corrected lineups and rotations, start your franchise, ensure that you have lineups set to manual in your settings, and sim Spring Training. After Spring Training, every team will still have their lineups and rotations that they did at the beginning before you simmed. At that point, all you must do is add your extra 15 players to your 40-man, and you're good to go for your team.
I honestly feel that's the easiest way to create your franchise with it starting in correspondence with real life, but allowing it to take its own course. All teams' lineups and rotations will be in tact, and you will at least have your own 40-man as well.

Ok so here's what I am looking for. It's a bit of 'the best of both worlds', I think...
I want to be able to use 40 players in spring training, so as to use younger players to get a feel for them.
I want to have opening day be as close to realistic as possible (within reason).
I want the CPU to trade, and call up prospects as per real world situations (not nec. to mimic real life--but I want call ups/send downs to happen; presumably performance based). I'm ok with an 'alternate universe', as long as it stays reasonable (don't want stupid lineups/trades).
------------------------------------------------
So I'm thinking before I start franchise, that I need to set ATL up with the 40 players I want to use in ST; every other team leave at the OSFM 25 man.
Then I am a bit confused as to how to proceed once I play/sim through spring training, I would've thought that if I have everything at manual for ATL, then nothing will change with my roster by simply 'advancing to season'. This, apparently is not an accurate assumption? The CPU will adjust my MLB, AAA, AA rosters based on ratings? If this is the case, and I were to then go in and fix to my liking--would it change as each day passes through the season? Surely that can't be the case.
Sorry if any of this is confusing. Thank you all for helping me work through this!
