But I guess this is a technicality you have to overlook for the sake of convenience and more continuity with real life rosters.

I originally played with historical rookies so when learning the game I had fewer things to deal with. Later I used the draft and found in an historical game a human player who remembers the players a bit has a huge advantage over AI. So after a time of playing using the draft I went back to historical rookies.
