ideas for online league with AI controlled teams

Looking for inspiration - have any online leagues used AI controlled teams to fill out their numbers? I've played in larger online leagues before, but now I'm looking to create a new league with a small group of friends. If we set the other teams in the league to be AI controlled, what are some good settings (whether in-game or house rules) to keep in mind? Doesn't have to be perfect, just trying to find a nice balance of fun and competitive.

For example, we could shorten the sim length during the beginning of the offseason to avoid AI teams having a big advantage negotiating with free agents. Or, disable the coaching system to avoid human teams having an advantage in that area.
