You need to allow OOTPX to enter the arbitration stage on its own and not be upgraded from OOTP9 after arbitration has begun. Otherwise owners will end up possibly not being able to see the arbitration page and not have any way of offering arbitration up to their players. In many cases this fixes itself by the next season, but there have been reports of leagues that still did not see arbitration the following season either after upgrading during the middle of arbitration.
Likewise due to various behavior in Free Agency compensation, it is ideal to not really upgrade right in the middle of free agency. Upgrading after the majority of the players which would demand compensation have signed helps with some of those immediate issues. I am not aware of any long term effects of that however.
Upgrading at the start of the preseason stage will also allow you to work out any issues that you may have with the schedule (some reports of people in the past upgrading after preseason finished and finding no schedule for whatever reason. You can't modify the schedule once the season starts, so they had a year with no games).
