Any suggestions?

Hi guys...I've downloaded Skydogs template and started to use it last night and wanted to sim 10-20 years and then take over the worse team. But, I've now tried it 3 times and each time I get to mid June and I start getting error messages about teams not having enough pitchers. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get around that?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

If its happening to the minor teams.

Turn on ghost players or add more rounds to the Draft.

Thanks Theonlystd but it isn't with the minors (althought ghost is on). It's with the majors and I get this message on June 14th or June 22nd. Happens with minor ghost on and off.

"American League HAS NO PITCHER AVAILABLE" which leads to the next error when I click "ok"...."National League HAS NO PITCHER AVAILABLE" which leads to the next error when I click "ok"...."Game: No Starter Substitute Found"

Anyone have any advice?

I've started new leagues with other templates and get the same thing...I'm going batty...

Thanks

Looks weird, almost like the game was trying to play the ALL-Star Game with no players selected to be on the roster. Do you have manually select all-star team selected on your league setup? Just curious....

No, on auto. I've kept the base the same from the skydog template. Only changes are from the logos. Driving me nuts...guess I'll try a new one...

thanks...

Do you have all the computer managers set to auto?

If the AI is controlling all of the other teams, go to the league setup, functions, and "run computer manager on all teams."

If you are the human manager for one team, go to your manager options and see if you are in control of all the settings.

Do you have injuries off? It could be that pitchers are getting hurt and have no replacements.

I got that message when I tried to sim past 6 months with the demo...

It's a problem with the template, related to the schedule. Bp_ had this issue with his first 2007 roster set. I believe you can fix it by regenerating the schedule, but otherwise you have to start over with the template and fix that before proceeding with the league.
