Actually, I found a way. I didn't realize this until I was looking around the menus: first you hit options and commissioner mode was checked for ratings. I wish I knew that during my 3+ seasons in the league for ratings. Anyways, you than select active human manager of the team you want to control, and do what you must, say renew contract. In the draft, just hit next pick for AI teams or select active human manager of the team you want, great for historical games, and make your pick. Still exploring, how to do all the other activities. The online was a smaller league, so there was not a lot of teams compared to 32 NHL which makes it manageable. I have to see how to turn on the AI. In sum, I can play my team as solo team for a while at my pace without sending importing and exporting. Something different/something new! And full control of the league which I never had in a solo league. Hopefully. nothing goes wrong as I only have one version.
