It only takes about 5 minutes (or however long it takes you to fast sim 5 years) than it takes to straight up starting the league in 1947. The advantage is that all your players including players that missed 1947 in real life will start their career with zero career stats.
If you initially start your league in 1947, then players that missed 1947 in real life will have their real life stats show up as their career stats when they do enter your league in 1948 (or 1949 or whenever they come back in real life). Anyway, that is my workaround since they corrected that bug a couple years ago.
Thanks, I may have to give this a shot. Of course, one would have to keep the existence of Minnie Minoso in mind if they wanted to start fresh in the 60's or 70's. How great would it be to start in 1970, play all the games and then have Minoso lead every stat category once 76 roles around?
