Option for a zero player reserve list

This seems "better", because in post reserve-clause years, players typically had deals longer than 1 year. IE, player's making 10mil a year for 4 years, contracts are set at 50% guaranteed, you cut him in offseason after year 2, you owe him 50% of the remaining 20mil on the deal, etc. Some basic math would need to be added to allow for mid-season cuts, but since OOTP already tracks player salary expenditures as the season goes along (even if not on a player by player level that's visible to the user), I don't think much work would be needed to get that to work properly.

It's the same thing, just different terminology.

With no reserve roster, pitching depth would be a lot more important just because you have 0 flexibility with injuries, and I'm not sure that OOTP's AI is able to comprehend that at the moment.

You can tell the AI how many pitchers to keep on its roster in the league setup.

Doesn't always listen to the numbers you tell it, though.
