"Does the AI assign players/managers to fictional leagues?"

[petrel]

All,

I'm busy working on a fictional league of my own, so to speak. There are four teams involved, 108 game season, no trading deadline, no amateur draft, 18 person roster, etc etc.

After the creation of the league, I noticed that:

a) all players were in a free agents pool: there was no one assigned to any of the four teams
b) each team had scouts, but no manager: managers were also in a pool by themselves.

I intend to watch the progress of this league in commissioner mode. My question is: will the AI, all by itself, start hiring players and manager, or will I have to assign them to teams manually? I know there's a "Play As" button, but I'm hoping the AI can do the assignation without my help.

Furthermore, there is no schedule associated with this league. Will the AI create one, eventually, or does that have to be imported?

You probably have the inaugural draft scheduled. Sim a day and it will be taken care of. Teams will automatically sign personnel. The game will also create the sked automatically.
