So I tried to start a franchise last night with the updated rosters, and decided to start with the regular season since teams have already made their cuts.

What I noticed were teams that barely resembled themselves. Instead of starting you at the regular season, it starts you at the preseason, but simulates it. This leads to trades being made, and rosters being filled with over inflated free agents at the expense of young players and rookies.

Is there a way around this outside of controlling all 32 teams for the preseason? Because even if I do that and then stop once the regular season starts, it'll just happen week 1, right? How can I start a season and get respectable rosters?
