Right. But why are we forced to do this. Why do we need to have 15 batters on our roster?

My point simply is this: You can buy as many points as you want (or can afford) ... it was stated right from the start that there will be no limits whatsoever ...

So there should be no limit on the other side. Play PT as you want to play it, period.

Why in the world is such a stupid rule put in place where you have to have 15 batters when no ML team would carry that number of batters on their roster, even when injuries come into play?

OOTP is such a realistic thing, it should be better than that.

What really annoys me is not that there is a rule ... it's that there is a stupid rule.

If OOTP says you have to carry 12-13 batters and 12-13 pitchers that would be realistic and perfectly okay.

But to say you have to carry 15 batters and 10 pitchers is completely unrealistic, no matter if I can buy me 2-3 batters for no more than 20 PP's combined.

But I can live with it.

You just need 15 batters on the whole roster, active+reserve. We may revisit these limits going forward, and I can definitely see us lowering the batter limit to something like 12.

I hope the overall limit stays at 25.

Because it's the rules. Why can't I click on AI setup roster without creating a total disaster of AI deactivating cards and making them unavailable for 14 days? There are about 500 things that I could think of that are more inconvenient or annoying than having a few players on reserves. Why can't I mass sell cards? Why can't I auto-sell only live cards and not historical cards? Why can't I filter for high contact vs LHP on the AH? Why can't the transaction list display game date instead of actual date/time? Why can't we see the results of previous leagues? Why can't we look at every league? Why can't we see every player's performance in every league?

Why can't I sell the last player on my reserve roster for 5 points is at least 500th on my list.

Check ML rosters and you'll find that most (if not all) teams carry 12 or 13 pitchers and 12 or 13 batters, and you have to deal with injuries here - but I'm 100 percent sure that not a single team will have 15 batters on their 25-man roster.

Pretty much sums it up right here.

There seems to be a handful of people on these forums that will defend any decision made by the devs no matter how arbitrary or idiotic it is.

There is no defense for forcing 15 ****ing batters into a 25 man roster. Get real.

Agreed. Which is why nobody is doing that. It's 15 on Active + Reserve. Now, I don't see the reason for that myself, but let's make sure we're clear on the actual rule.

I agree. I do not care for the rule as I have said before, but it is the rule. It is not too difficult to put a common place holder or two, or three on your reserve roster. I see them on my reserve roster but already it is easy for me to ignore them. They will never play and on my team they are silvers. I auto-sell everything under 70. When I see that color my mind just skips over it. They could be bronze or iron depending on your roster.

There also seems to be a group of people that will question or bash every decision made by the developers. They complain about game design decisions without an understanding of why they were made. In fact, they don't even bother to ask; they just open a thread and start whining. When people who do know come in and try to explain, the mob attempts to shut them down by shouting over them and calling them names.

Cool down. I didn't try to shut down somebody and didn't call anybody names.

I don't bash every decision made by the developers, but if there is one that is bad I have the right to express my opinion.

And don't forget - because guys over the years questioned decisions by the developers the game became as great as it is today. I fully understand that developers have to make decisions - sometimes not everybody likes them and sometimes they simply are not the right ones.

This is a stupid rule - as I said before, it would make sense if we'd be forced to carry 12-13 batters and 12-13 pitchers.

But what mostly annoys me is that the developers announced early that there is no limit at the top - you can spend as much as you want on your team - and then it only would be consequent not to have any limits at all.

But this will be my final post on this topic.

I can live with carrying the handful of scrubs I got for a few PP's from the Auction House, no matter how stupid this is.

I don't agree. The game became as great as it is today in spite of these people because Markus had a vision of what he wanted the game to be and stuck with it.

I made it sound too simple - as always the truth lies in between.

Not every complaint is helpful and not every complaint is useless.

Agreed!

Also, not every complainer is a troll and not every defender is a fanboy.

Is it not time to let this one go? I think opposing opinions have been covered well by both sides
