Restricting Free Agent Signings to Only the Offseason

LukeJ · 10-03-2025, 10:15 AM

I'm running a league where I'm trying to keep rosters static during the regular season. I'm okay with teams moving players between active (34 players) and reserve (10 players), but I'd like for no teams to sign new players during the season.

I know one way to do this is to set AI to not be able to make roster adjustments, but then it isn't making any lineup changes or anything which feels like it reduces league quality. I also keep running into too many players being on reserve rosters and the sim stopping.

Any advice on how to limit when Free Agents can be signed?

Try enabling reserve roster rules under finances, I think this will work since there were no free agents then. Just remember to change in the off-season if need be.
