Roster limit bug in LNAH

oldfatbaldguy · 12-18-2020, 04:18 PM

I also posted this in the Steam Community Hub because I was having a hard time getting into the forum here.

In the LNAH in Quebec, the roster rules are different for AI-managed teams. They are allowed 23 players on their roster, but can have additional players under contract who have been sent down to a lower senior league (called Eastern Canadian Senior in the game). I am only allowed 23 players under contract, period, and if I have 23 and try to sign a player I get a message in the contract negotiation field that says something like "contract limit reached."

Do you know how many additional players they're allowed? I can update that in the game.

One team in my save has 21 players under contract who are in the lower league, so they'd have 44 in all. I'm guessing there's no limit by rule and it depends on your budget. Players in that league aren't paid much and you could afford to have a lot of fringe guys.

I can't find much information online; the league has canceled its 2020-2021 season irl.

Actually, that looks like it may be a bug with the AI teams, now that I checked. They should be letting those extra guys go. I'll increase the contract limit a bit so all teams, AI or human, can keep a few extra players, but we'll check on what's going wrong with the AI there.

Thanks, Jeff. I found an FHM6 forum thread about LNAH rosters, too.

I'm still looking and can't figure out what the rules are in real life. If teams are really limited to 23 contracts when they're dressing 19 for games and there will be injuries, that seems awfully tight, but it's a local-ish league in Quebec and maybe it's not difficult to add a warm body in a crisis.

I'll be happy with anything you do that makes the rules the same for the AI teams as for the player-controlled team.

I'm intrigued by this save game because a very low-level minor barely-pro league is an interesting challenge.
