There's only really a difference in September when the active rosters get bigger. In the past, that expansion was up to 40 players which allowed teams to play a lot of younger players or have more depth depending on their play-off contention status. However, the current rules now only allow an expansion to 28 players for September.
In the past and current rules, the active roster size for the play-offs always reverted back to the April-August limit (used to be 25, currently 26).
