I played yesterday...all was well. Logged in today and my new AA 2B is Jim Unknown!

That generally means there's some corruption in the save.

You might want to try restoring from the auto-save function and see if that helps!

Looks like a database error in your current save.

From the screenshot, i'd guess somethign stopped your sim during the day - becaue yo uahve a final score, but have not moved to the next day... maybe an injury or some interuption you allow to occur....

if you have ghost players enabled, you will see them while games play out... it's not a bug or a problem.. it is how it should be. if they are still there when you complete the day, then there is a problem for sure.

if you complete a day and have not started playing games the follwing day, they should disappear..

this is to prevent a situation where you or the ai doesn't have enough players and it simply plugs these guys in while games are being played (games in the world, not that specific team).... the game world day has begun etc...

league settings -> rules or options, maybe? i'm sure you can find it... maybe in Global settings ->players and face gen -- "enable Ghost players" or somethign similar to that lablel ... pretty sure ghost players are disabled by default, so you likely changed it during creation when you read it thinking it was a good idea.. and it can be (just a preference per person). i leave it off, becuase it's a really bad sign when teams run out of players - somethign is terribly wrong in the setup. ignoring it won't make it go away. so, it's an alarm bell for me when teams don't have enough players and i can't simulate a day.

anyway if you uncheck it and don't want to deal with filling in scubs, you can delegate that to your minor league managers in your GM office control settings (sign MiL FA check box).

if you use roster limits in the minors, this may not be a good idea for you, though.... in the forums i read that the ai will release good prospects on occasion when these two things are used together (delegate + roster limits). make use of the new service time limite if that's the case for you. it works more intuitively than roster limits and age limits anyway.
