When you start a league, real world or fictional, you do not start on that date...thus you are stuck playing rules for 1 year that you might not want to play with. In a sense with a fictional league you have to just sim out one useless year, erase it all, only to start your league with the league rule settings you want. Should you not be able to set up your league as you wish right from day 1?

You can change stuff on July 1 but usually your first season starts in August lol
Sebastian could speak more on this but he's busy writing code for the new version so I doubt he'll have time.

The simple answer is is the Database is only editable on July 1st because it just doesn't work correctly if it's constantly unlocked. So yes, only changes can be made on July 1st for that reason.
