players automatically get removed from my roster

[FoulBall01]

i am very frustrated here.. does anyone have an issue with pitchers and some players automatically remove themselves from the starting 26 and is replaced with players of it's own choice????

Roger Maris is always in my line up and when i check back a day later, he is ALWAYS removed! another player is inserted in RF and Roger's name is still in my lineup, but on the inactive roster... this game is hard enough, without it working against me. It also changes pitchers.. How do i know?

i look at the pitching roster and up to 3 pitchers don't have a role assigned to them.. God knows what it affects when i play ,because i sure as Heck cannot figure it out. i meet the above requirements for the legal amount of pitchers i must carry, but alas, they get changed after i make a roster shift. This is regular season not playoffs. Does anyone at all experience this?? i refuse to believe i am the only one it happens to!!

1. Check your [MAIN > Perfect Team Settings] and ensure that your roster management is not being delegated to the Computer AI. (More likely)

2. If you submit team changes while the system is actively simulating a round, it will ignore it and you'll need to redo it. (Less likely)

I have found this to happen inconsistantly. SOMETIMES it takes the changes just fine, sometimes it ignores the submit, and sometimes it does or doesn't, and 'freezes' the status into the SIMULATING mode, which you can fix sometimes by exiting to the main screen then reentering the tournament screen, sometimes forcing you to logout & log back in, and sometimes the only way to fix it so it doesn't reoccur, is to completely exit the game and restart it.
If the devs don't want you submitting while it is simulating, the SUBMIT button should be grayed out during this time. This and other inconsistancies make PT maddening at times; certainly doesn't make me want to pay money into the game.
Another example, when you change from one page to another, and go back to the first page, sometimes the page is how you left it, sometimes not. And I set up my lineups and strategies with a view I called "lineup ratings" where I can look at batters batting ratings and positional fielding ratings. I NEVER use "pitching ratings", which shows up on those screens half the time, even if I haven't been to the pitching setup screen to use those ratings there. Not a major thing, but annoying for a professional product.
Also a more egregious problem is noted below:

If this is happening to you during tournaments, remember to also re-export your roster to file, if you have made roster changes. Be sure that the roster name you are exporting reflects the type of tournament you are currently playing, because the game remembers the name of the last file you have imported or exported; it doesn't automatically offer to save the filename as the default name of the tournament you are in. So if you are in a Gold Tournament, but were previously in a Silver tournament where you saved the file, the program by default wants to save the filename you used for the Silver tournament, which overwrites that with an invalid roster for the next time you want to (or the game automatically) imports the roster for the Silver tournament.
The game should ALWAYS offer to save to the default type of tournament name, but it doesn't.
And if you didn't explicitly export the tournament file with your corrected roster, it will keep on importing the existing file minus the players you thought you had in the lineup, and you will have to correct it each time.
