Possible Bug: Yo-Yo Players

Lordofbrewtown · 01-23-2017, 09:30 PM

I have a 38 team fictional league, 22 player rosters, 15 limit reserve roster, with an amateur draft, playing in commissioner mode. I am controlling one team, with AI controlling the remaining teams.

Some players are getting bounced back & forth between teams.

There are roughly 5 players who are being released an signed every single day. To be clear, these are the same 5 players, and a couple were 1st round draft picks (half star rating, four and five star potential). Often they are being released by one team, signed by a second, and released by the second in the same day. The player history is incredibly long for these players, as it's happening every single day. Their original team is re-signing them a few days later and then releasing them again.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

As an aside, I've tried moving these players to the untouchable list, hoping they won't be released, and that doesn't help either.

To elaborate: These players have been signed & released every day for a month straight. Signed & released roughly 35 times over 30 days.

this is common issue. And i'm not sure if the developers will call it a "bug". The reason it's happening is because of your reserve roster limit. It's best to leave it off. I know that you'll end up getting a super big reserve roster, which isn't very realistic, but it's a limitation of the AI
