I'd like to have a look at that league, can you upload the save? (Instructions here)

The only time I've seen something like this in testing was in the WHA, months ago when were were getting that league working and the rosters filled with fake players because the teams couldn't sign real ones (which is the only time faked players should ever happen - those are an indication that something's gone wrong with the database, because there should be more than enough real players in any given year. There's no retirement code for them in historical games, since they shouldn't appear in the first place and, if they somehow do, are so terrible that they won't be kept on a roster for more than a season.)

The only way I can see a league filling with those players is something seriously wrong with the database files that prevents the game from importing real players at all. So I'd like to see the file and try to figure out what happened.
