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.

That was a very nice strategy. The only problem I can think of is that currently there is no option to control every team Like that. You can though from the league set up screen tell every team that the ai can not do roster changes. The difficulty here is that you can't, from what I can tell, let the AI run the organizations of two computer teams at the same time with out running all of them. So you can tell the AI to not make any changes for all, then you can go to one org and ask them to fill out there entire organization, then you can do this with another, but from what I can tell you cannot have them both do it at the same time so they compete for free agents.
I hope that I am missing something or there is a good workaround, because this is a very clever idea.
