When does your 2018 league become fictional?
Curious as to when everyone considers there 2018 league start as fictional? One would argue that the minute you make your first trade or signing the league is now fictional. Others might say it is when all the current MLBers are retired as all of your biases are gone and now it is fictional. Others who create their own worlds might say this is never fictional as you are using the real team names etc. Just curious to everyones thoughts.

I'd probably vote halfway between the first 2 choices. I don't think it's immediately "fictional", but I probably start to think of it that way a few years in, once the top players have moved on to guys who are currently prospects.

I follow all levels of MLB religiously so messing with real life players in an alternate MLB universe and giving them different stats then they actually have makes things confusing for me (maybe I'm just stupid). I have to create a fictional universe with fictional players, I think its more fun and memorable to watch fictional players set records and make the league's Hall of Fame. Plus, it makes it easier to adjust rules and options without thinking (this would never happen in real life).

For me, it is after the first season. I really hate to mess with the opening roster that I inherit and I like to make big moves in the offseason. So after the first year, I consider it mine and it is essentially fictional. Plus the development engine kicks in on the next round of ratings updates.

To me it becomes more fictional after the main core of MLB players are moved on. Though really within the first couple years when guys start moving around, it is creating your own history. But fictional to me means "none of these players are real, they're creating new history for the future" so once you start filtering in guys from the draft, that's where it'd be full fiction for me.

I agree with Matt Arnold I would have said 3 years down the line things become very apparent and obvious of the changes. However there are still "Real" players even in minors in play. However after about 10 to 15 seasons that dwindles to a bear minimum then it becomes 100% fictional afterwards

I'd say the tipping point is when generated draft players start to make it to the 40 man roster.
