Go to the various league sites and you'll discover when they start and stop. OOTP gets this correct.
Teams think the kiddies have played a full season in the spring and starting up after the draft is too much.

Look at how the WNBA works ... college teams play up through the beginning of April, then an early April draft and the WNBA starts practicing immediately. It's a big reason rookies in that league struggle, they have a full season immediately after a full season ... and this year there's the Olympics in the middle so they have a super-compressed full season. It's far from optimal, but there's no good workaround. At least the MLB teams are trying to find a way to ease draftees into the minor league system
