It's extremely difficult by comparison to work with the DFA list. My main complaint, though, is that the "level" for each player on DFA is considered "ML", which is a huge hassle. It has proven very annoying to readjust my minor league rosters after all the dumb AI assignments following the inaugural draft. Not to mention that if you give up and let your staff assign the minor league rosters, they'll still leave the same guys on the DFA.

Just an observation on my biggest personal beef. The interface is clumsier, but the scope and flexibility are a very impressive improvement, and once everything is settled, I expect it'll be a very fun game.

You actually have guys go to DFA? When I make a trade, I have to search the game to find the player I just traded for to put him on the active roster.

Thank you. That's what I am looking for. I think when you have fairly full minor leagues, you cannot bring up your DFA list as you are showing MLB and 3 other levels already in your transactions screen, under team. I have another game where it's just MLB and AAA and when I trade, the guys show up in a DFA box. Glad there's a way to "find" your guys to put on active roster. That's one for the fix list.

It's not very intuitive, but you can either use the pulldown from one of the four teams you see, and change it to DFA, or you can change the heading of the transactions screen to DFA/Waivers.

It is actually not there as an option in either the 4-square dropdowns OR the headings across the top. It seems to be the difference between no/few minor leagues and full minors. It does not show up at all in a league using full minors. But luckily you can go either to search or back to email and click on the name, action, transaction, etc.

Huh. I've got full minors and I haven't seen this.

Here is a shot of what I see. Do you have a blank line below DL in your dropdown? Also note the 4 headings only. Overview | DL | Minors | Trans Log. I apologize for the smallness of the capture. The 100KB limit's a tough one.

Well, touchee. Haven't seen that.

DFA is not an option in my pulldown menu. Is not displayed anywhere. I posted as separate bug report, "No DFA."

Am I missing something?
