Hello and welcome to the game! Here's some answers to your questions and I am happy to answer any and all questions. Also I want to refer you to
https://wolverinestudios.freshdesk.com/ ... /solutions where you can find some FAQs and can submit tickets to us - I try to check the forums once a day if I can but the tickets we can access from anywhere and can usually respond quicker.
1) Yes, you can setup a multiplayer league and have all teams human controlled. To do this you create a multiplayer league and during the creation you make 30 (or how many ever teams you are having) GMs and assign them to each team.
2) Coaches cannot be disabled
3) Yes when you create a league don't skip to "CREATE PLAYER" and on the second creation screen there is a checkbox to "DISABLE PLAYER INTERACTIONS"
2/3) Both coaches and players can be modified. In the game click LOGIN at the top and that gives you commissioner access (click it again when you are done to go back to your character). On the commissioner's office screen there is an EXPORT DB button - this will dump some league information to a database file that can be opened and edited with MS Access (or even something like Open Office). You can't add/delete things there but you can just change the ratings to make them all the same if you want and then you go back to that commissioner screen and IMPORT DB. Of course new players and coaches come into the league so you have to do it every year but in theory it can be done to make them all the same
4) Those will get ignored if you have disabled the player interactions in setup
5) No the d-league is woven into the game. You can choose to not use it (ie not send players down, not use 2 way contracts) but it will still exist and run in the background
