How to play as all 32 teams, but have teams execute trades on their own?

[BionicBeard52]

So basically my question is for anyone doing 32-team control in CFM.

I'm currently in the beginning stages of mine and I like to play as the Lions and then play another game as a game of the week and get a feel for other teams in my CFM.

I'm wondering if there is a way to have the 31 other teams run their franchises (trades, FA signings, etc.) while still having the option to jump in and play their game.

I know if I set all the other teams to auto-pilot it will just sim their team's game for that week right away. Although if I go into the league settings for each team there's an option to set season experience to simple, making all the week to week duties and trades CPU controlled. Does anyone know if this works? Will a team offer trades and adjust their depth chart if set to auto?

Oh, how painful this is....I had some grandiose plans for a CFM upended by this last night.....

Whether every team is on autopilot or not, it appears that they will sign FAs, draft, cut players, etc. But, they will not pilfer guys off of other teams' practice squads nor initiate trades.

I made sure every team had all the team management things set to 'auto' and no luck.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I never do 32-team offline leagues, but I don't think there is any case where the CPU will propose trade offers as a user-controlled team. My understanding is that if you want the CPU to offer a trade, the team has to actually be controlled by the CPU.
