They always have 8 or 9 active players even though they have over 120 players in their organization. Their 40 man is full. I have enabled ghost players hoping they will promote them but they do not.

I have checked all the usual things that may be causing this. I have made sure that the computer is allowed to make roster changes, and scouting is off so that is not an issue. I have even done an impromptu expansion draft, picking one player from every team and sending them to montreal. They immediately demote them to the lowest level of their minors.

Has anyone else seen this? This is the second time I have seen this with montreal when running a sim like this.

Edit to add: I am using the latest patch also.
Okay, I figured it out. After spending over an hour trying to fix it I typed the above, then it dawned on me. The problem is that I had no foreigners allowed in the game set up menu. I guess it counts those players on the roster as foreigners, because after I set it to no limit, the AI set there lineups up correctly.

So, if someone has a similar issue in the future, thats it. Carry on.
