Bristolduke's suggestion is the best way to run "test" sims in an online league.

A Commish can sim games, and then return the league to an earlier state. The game is capable of allowing this. Yet the possibility of doing this without negative consequences for the league's data becomes more slim, the more that the league has progressed through its schedule. Plus, it's almost impossible to hide that this has happened. Every game-day that a league completes will result in the modification of thousands of OOTP Baseball game files (if the league is average sized). Time stamps on files, and many other results of a sim, create a mass of evidence that makes the real-world timing of an online league's sim clear and obvious.
