Team Making Waiver Claims Automatically

wiggleman83 · 02-09-2021, 02:23 PM

Every so often, I see a message in the league news that my team claimed a player off of waivers but I didn't do it. I keep checking my team control settings and everything is set to me except for lineup, scouting and training.

I also had this happen in an historical game, 1926-27 NHL. I had to reduce my roster to 17 players before start of season, but when I rolled forward a day the AI 'claimed' two random players from the waiver list and assigned them to my roster.

I then had to send them down again, and they were both claimed off waivers by the NY Americans. The Americans were then able to send them to their minor league team without having to clear waivers again, which also seemed odd.

Malte found the problem this morning, when we fixed the waiver claim AI in the last update it apparently left open the possibility where, under some circumstances, if a human-run team waives a player at the same time AI teams are waiving players, the AI may incorrectly claim the player for the wrong team.
