I haven't tried an expansion draft with the new game yet, but I had a great system with OOTP6.
I set all the teams to human control and put selected "unprotected" players from each team on waivers, setting the waiver period to 1 day. I used the pool of waived players as a draft pool and had the expansion teams "draft" from it by having them claim players. I'd then go forward one day and, since all teams were human-controlled, those selected players would go to the expansion teams. Then I'd set everything back to normal.
I haven't tried to adapt this method to the new version yet, as I've only had it for a couple of days and haven't even played more than a month or so in a test league.
Does anyone know any reason it wouldn't work or would become more difficult to do?
I have to say that one disappointment with a complete rewrite is that all my old tricks and workarounds go out the window. Not that I'm unhappy, because I think this will eventually be a breathtakingly great game.
