I started watching baseball in 1983 so I typically start by being unemployed in 1982, letting it sim through 1982 and then during that offseason, taking over whichever team finished with the worst record. This particular save happens to be Cleveland. Which feels like kind of a more real life scenario, moreso than just taking over a team where it typically starts you extremely late on a fresh save, ie) past the winter/historical draft, etc. That always seemed weird to me and not as fun to do. Like I don't want to immediately start playing games when I take over a team, I want to start building/evaluating them first. I just took them over ffs.
It's enjoyable to see what mess I was left (usually that team I end up taking over sells off stuff in the prior deadline, etc so it's interesting to see what assets they may have left me with to start).
I think the furthest I've ever gotten on a save was to the 1993 expansion draft. That's typically my goal every year but real life can certainly get in the way. I've honestly never noticed any slowness or anything.
