I’m in the same boat this year. I’ve been constantly restarting but I always use opening day roster.

Yep. I've been checking out various rosters with updated FA signings. I think I've finally found one that I'm going to run with. I'll sim the 1st season, then pick a team - maybe 1 from each league - to start a Franchise with.

I also found a fictional roster by sluggbug (? spelling, sorry!) that I like, so I may start a fictional franchise too.

I usually get excited to play this time of year due to the weather. I update to the latest roster and just pretend it's the next season. I don't have the time to make it an opening day roster then make the switches in the next season. Plus, once the season starts for my fictional world, whatever happens is the new reality.

Ah yes a classic example of Rosteritis. This previously could've been resolved by playing Bacon's Fictional Roster, a roster that is very difficult to replicate on the newer games without y2y saves.

I prefer fictional rosters for this reason. Theres a couple decent ones out there in the vault for 22. But bacon's is sorely missed.

I have this very same issue with all my sports games. I just may need to use fictional rosters from now on. I have a similar problem with Nba2k.

Going to bump this one to the front page tomorrow, think it's a fun question -- so the first post may get tweaked, and I'll be updating the title of the thread.
