Playoff Roster Glitch

cubfan1109 · 11-08-2019, 09:44 AM

How can I add a player to my playoff roster for the NLCS who was hurt and became healthy during the NLDS? He was on the 60-day IL and the game is not letting me add him to my playoff roster.

Look around. I think someone recently asked this question. Not sure if it was adequately answered.

You can always go to commissioned mode and edit the player (there's a check box) to make them eligible

Make sure he's on the team's active (non-playoff) roster first.

if it is during the series, you can't make changes to the roster until the series is over I believe

Doesn't the 60-day IL knock the player off the 40-man roster? It's used to open up 40-man roster spots (15-day will keep a player on the 40-man), so if he was on it past the August 31st deadline, he would not be eligible to play in the postseason. I'm not exactly roster genius guy, but I would think that's the problem.

Then that's a bug in the game. Or a divergence from MLB roster rules, at least

Any player who is on the 40-man roster or 60-day injured list as of 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 31 is eligible for the postseason.

Thank you. Wasn't sure of the rule on it.

Did you make sure to put him back on the active roster?
