OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - AI Cheating with Playoff Rosters

So I PM'ed Matt Arnold and he did say they're looking into this issue in case anyone else runs into a similar problem, but he didn't have a solution now or any advice on how to undo the illegal moves - I asked if maybe in a future patch there could be a way to allow commish mode to override the "series in progress" postseason roster move restriction if they can't find the bug that allowed Detroit to make these random moves mid-series.

But after waiting a few days to see if he or anyone else had ideas on how to fix their roster, I decided to just roll with it and take my chances in Game 7 - knowing that if we lost because the illegal player (Rupe) completely shut us down, I was going to force quit OOTP before the game was over and try again! As it turned out, Rupe didn't even last two innings and gave up five runs on seven hits on our way to an eventual 11-6 victory, so maybe the AI's illegal roster manipulation actually did us a favor in this instance!
