Cincinnati Reds player contract errors

maverick3424 · 12-12-2022, 08:32 PM

Please redirect to appropriate bug reporting forum if this is in the incorrect place. When I go to start a new standard game and select the Cincinnati Reds, several prominent younger players are listed on the major league/40 man roster (Jonathan India, Nick Lodolo, others), but their contract is a minor league contract. Is there an update or patch correcting this that my game doesn't seem to have picked up?

Nick Lodolo had his contract selected April 13 so, indeed, a week or so after Opening Day. Where was India? On the 60-man DL? I suspect the early in-game placement was done to ensure that the roster was more closely aligned to how the Reds were planning to roll their rotation out. Or it was simply missed. The great thing about the game, of course, is that you can go to Commissioner mode and edit the service time, etc. and reassign the player as you deem necessary to tweak those statuses. I wouldn't expect any update to adjust it when the in-game editing function can allow the user to easily enough.

India - starts the season on active roster, healthy, with Minor League Contract and 1 year of service time (matches, he was an Opening Day starter last year and healthy).

Lodolo - starts in minor leagues as suggested. However, when I purchase his contract, put him on the 40-man roster, and call him up, he still shows up as a Minor League Contract. This also happens if I try to call up anyone from the minor leagues that is on a minor league contract.

I am aware of the Commissioner mode setting. It's incredibly frustrating to try to play a sim with a team where I have to do this for every player I call up, ever. Secondly, if I want to play in Challenge Mode (which is where I typically play), I can't use the Reds at all.

Understand the frustration. Was just letting you know about Commish mode, in case you didn't know - not trying to diminish the frustration.

So, I started w/the Reds and indeed, it starts with both of them on MiLB contracts. I simmed a week and it looked like India was still on one. I called up Lodolo and simmed an additional week to the 18th and by then they both had MLB minimum ones that looked okay. How far have you gotten with them still on MiLB contracts? They should go to MLB contracts as soon as they hit the roster, and instead of simming days at a time as I did, we'd have to monitor them each day as we advance to see when it flips to MLB. But mine did flip to league min salaries, did yours - ever?

Awesome, looks like mine does the same when I repeated your process! I will watch and see what might be triggering it and see if it has further issues in the future, but looks like something must have corrected once the game advanced past a certain point. I appreciate the feedback and help!
