Okay, this post will be a quick one before I go to bed, but I wanted to start a thread to get this info out there. Here's my short post-release experience:
I made a 4-team league using my main account and sent invites to the child accounts I have. I set the league to use DD teams and had my child accounts join and immediately quit. This worked.
I ended up with a 4-team league with 3 CPU teams and was not required to advance to the Regular Season (i.e. begin the league) with the human players in.
A couple of notes:
- The CPU will control the departed user's DD team as configured at the time of departure.
- Invites may not work until the invitee has initialized his DD team by entering DD and doing/skipping the tutorial. I sent the invites first, then started the game for the first time using my child accounts and ended up having to re-send the invites.
I didn't try anything else. Not enough time and I have to go to work in the morning.
