I finally finished forcing wins, updating injuries and manually doing transactions to get the closest thing possible to a 'start today' scenario with this roster.
It's on 2/18 in the game but real-life transactions are up to date as of 3/7 (Griffin released, etc.)
I just have not done coaching changes since 2k has made it awful to create new ones. And you'll want to update slider for injury frequency, I set it to 0 for the sim.
