Being new to OOTP, I took the advice of someone (sorry, can't remember who), who suggested starting a trial game to familiarize myself with the various aspects of the game before diving into how I really wanted to play the game.

I'm sure glad I took this advice, because while working on the Lineup Tab page, where the team's lineups versus RHP and LHP is located on the bottom half of the screen, and the team's Roster is located on the top half of the screen, the Roster has no players' names at all.

This issue isn't unique to just the team I was working on. None of the teams in the league have players' names in their respective Roster space, located on the Lineup Tab.

Even though I had granted myself Commissioner privileges for the team I was working on, I can't figure out how to populate the Roster section of the Lineup page after 5-6 hours of trying.

I don't know if it has anything to do with this Roster issue, but after I accidently hit the "Finish Today" button in a fit of confusion, the game advanced itself to Opening Day, so I went ahead and manually played out the first game to see how the game reacted.

In doing so, I noticed that when I switched from the game screen to the Substitution screen, there were no players on what I think was the Substitution (Team) roster. I couldn't even summon a relief pitcher.

So, my question is: how do I populate the Roster half of the Lineup screen with the team's players' names?

Is it possible that this is a glitch that a patch was supposed to correct? The reason I ask this question is because I'm using a boxed version of OOTP 11, and I obtained a patch from Viva, but Viva doesn't label its patches (i.e., patch 11.0.3, patch 11.1.8), so I have no idea what their patch corrects and what it doesn't correct.

I apologize for the long winded post, but I wanted whoever answered this to have enough pertinent info.

I'd appreciate anyone's help, because my trial game seems to be useless now.
