Way to keep AI from releasing certain players?

markprior22 · 07-04-2014, 02:03 PM

Through a mistake of my own doing, I let a couple of my minor league teams get quite a bit under roster limits. I wanted AI to just sign players to fill the rosters, so I set minor league signings/releases to AI control. I later noticed that the AI had also released one of my top prospects who had been listed as #24 prospect in baseball. I went into commissioner mode and moved him back...I don't feel like that is cheating because I definitely didn't want to release him.

My question...is there a way to keep particular players from being released if you have the AI set to handle signings/releases? I know you can lock a player to a certain level but I don't see a way to tell the AI not to release a player.

Do you have roster limits set on your minor leagues?

Yea this is always the root to those problems.

I just keep roster limits off for minors altogether.

Haven't notice a option to tell the AI that a player is untouchable but at the same time I never had problems of the AI releasing my top propects.

No limit on lowest minor league, 28 on all other levels. Guess I'll just have to be more careful. Moves like that really baffle me.
