Unwanted Fictional Players

I have not run across any fake players. (If I don’t recognize a name, I look to see if there is a tab for “real life stats”. Occasionally, checking box scores, I still come across a fictional player who was created at some point. I keep trying to delete these imposters entirely; but they only become free agents, and thus are at risk of being re-signed. Not sure how to purge my sim of theses unwanted players.

Dont they have a flag yet to identify all fictional players so you can sort, group and filter them?
I could have swore they were going to do this in 10 versions ago
Same with players that never made it to the majors (career minor leaguers)
maybe next year, maybe next year

It would be completely unnecessary here, with full minor league rosters, and lots of minor league free agents (who are not fictional players).

There are never enough players to fill the minors.....there should be option that even scrubs will continue playing for peanuts
This has been issue every release

That option would be great, and not a heavy lift to implement [looks to coder wife]. I haven’t found such a flag yet. Career minor leaguers as well.

Using them in combination is, for mine, highly enjoyable. But I definitely have a 100% fictional save in my future.

I’m just starting the playoffs. Since my guys (Key West Conchs) won both halves, the fallback is a best of seven with the second place team, the Barranquilla Puertos. They are the best hitting team in the league, but finished nine games back. This is my first post-season experience. Should be cool.
