I'm gong to be honest, I am kind of shocked I have to explain these things to fellow fans of a baseball sim. Why would anyone want to sim a year before they start playing anything? Isn't that really obvious?
Your concerns and wishes in this regard are totally valid and understandable. (Not that you needed me to tell you that- I'm just acknowledging the reality of this.)
But the responses and perspectives of those trying to assist you in this thread have also been totally valid and understandable.

You have specific desires for how to play the game. You are certainly not alone in this. Probably not alone in your specific wishes, but definitely not alone in having something specific you would love to see changed/improved in the game. But of course, no single game is going to contain everything that every user wants it to have. The great thing about OOTP, in my view, is that the developers do continue to strive to respond to the wishes of their customers and continuously build improvements in the game. Will your wish get granted soon or ever? I have no way of knowing. But it certainly might.

You think this is a no-brainer. I get that. It doesn't follow that others need to agree with you on this. Perhaps more importantly, I think that what many others here are saying is that you perhaps shouldn't make perfect the enemy of good. Hopefully someday you will get your wish. In the meantime, are the approaches that others have described here really so horrible, given the overall high quality of OOTP which you yourself have acknowledged?
