Hey folks,

I'm starting up an OOTP 16 league for the first time. I tend to be a bit of a planner, and I like to run my sims for several years to make sure they work OK before actually starting to play.

So, in this game of mine, in year 2 I have been running into the dreaded "illegal number of players on the roster" error without fail at the start of the playoffs. I've narrowed it down to a problem where teams who aren't in the playoffs and don't have a playoff roster need to get down to 25 players on the active roster, and the AI won't do it for them. So if they have 35/40 on the active roster, I get the error until I move players off the active roster down to 25. If I do that OR if I disable playoff rosters, I can proceed.

The good news is, because this is just part of my "test run," my game itself isn't in any danger. I just want to figure this out before I start playing for good. As an FYI, I am using a fictional league setup, not the MLB setup.

Just curious, has anyone else run into this issue? I haven't been very "in the loop" on things OOTP recently...

Thanks!
