1.) Please allow us access to Advanced Mode when adding a new league to an existing universe.

Unfortunately, for some inexplicable reason, the 'Advanced Mode' button is grayed out whenever trying to add a new league to an existing universe, as seen in the pic below:

Why is this important? Because, without access to Advanced Mode there's no way to manually set a newly created league's PCMs to the desired levels BEFORE the league is created. By default, MLB caliber, or players with 1.000 in every skill set to use PCM-speak, will be created. That's fine if you want to add another league with MLB caliber players to your existing universe. However, if you want to set the PCM's to, say, .890, the players automatically created during league creation will be too talented for your league.

The usual workaround for something like this would be to simply clear all the rosters and delete all the players in the free agent pool after the new league is created, and then use the 'Fill teams with fictional players" option under league settings. However, in an existing universe, deleting all free agents would also nuke the ones from all the other leagues in your universe as well, which leads me to my second request:

2.) Since we already posses the ability to list all players in a particular league under Player Info, can we please also posses the ability to delete all players in that league as well?

This option would be far more preferable IMO to the genocidal "Delete all free agents" option as it would allow us to target players from a specific league for deletion as opposed to deleting every free agent from every other league in our universe.
