When is the best time to do this? July 1st?

I see the fix was in the patch so they could participate in the amateur draft also. Want to make sure i don't miss anything.

Thanks
You can only do it on July 1st.

And no, that patch note was for Historical, not current. With the way how players generate, it's currently not possible to do the draft in your first year.

Things to do:

(1) Add the Team - Pick your name.
(2) Generate a New Schedule
(3) Make sure colors are set as you want, possibly change logo/add jerseys depending on your preference.
(4) Sign FA's. In particular, look for Undrafted 20 or 21 year olds who you can sign to Entry Level deals, or any big names.
(5) Check your Staff. Add as necessary.
(6) The game should stop you for the Draft (but watch the bottom right of the homepage). Keep in mind currently you can select more than 1 player per team as it uses older draft rules right now.
