I may be crazy but I would love for simulation sports games like FHM to have a starting point that kicks off right at the end of the last season. Drafting and free agency are where a lot of the fun lies in these types of games. I mean, which Leaf fan would not want to start their playthrough right now? They get to draft first overall, field offers for the pick, then potentially further reshape the team in free agency and make some trades.
I get the logic in that games always start with a new season but from a managerial perspective, it's the point in time with the least activity and I often feel the first year is just a waiting out period until the fun stuff starts up in another 9 or so months of game play.
