do it on opening day before any games are played -- this is the day the AI sets all the rosters up.. i.e. final decisions on 40-man, waving players depth charts ... everthying.

in the ensuing years, adjust what you want adjusted. as talent ebbs and flows, things will fluctuate beyond normal randomness of 1 PA or season etc. so, be forgiving. make minor adjustments to modifiers as you go.

i'd suggest a very hands off approach, to avoid shaping stats or flattening them. if something gets too high or too low, then adjust slowly so as to not overshoot.

EDIT:

first ~20 years or so of fictional will be a bit different than the ensuing years. auto-calc every 3-5 years, with same idea as above about forgiveness. the seed players and players created for draft are not quite the same. it's not supremely pronounced, but you'll notice a little drift in stats if you kept unchanging modifiers. (league total modifiers -> League Settings/Stats and AI)
