this ishappening to me i update to make sure it right everything but it keep sending my players down

I'm having this same issue..

I like to micromanage and use tons of different players but the AI is overriding me and setting its own lineups and sending down the players I want to use immediately upon the next simulation. I wasn't having any issues like this until yesterday. I was extremely addicted and now I'm extremely frustrated. Thanks

I just want to add that it's possible I made a mistake each time and left a lineup spot open.. I apologize if that's the case. It would be preferable to me if the AI made changes from only the active roster if that does occur though.

I'm set to complete control. I have a full team and plenty on the reserve roster. The AI decided to move 3 players to inactive:
SP Patrick Corbin (Started 24-Apr & 29-Apr)
RP Dellin Betances (Played 1-May & 2-May)
Scrub Dominic Smith (from Reserve) - Will not play
Robbie Erlin was moved from active to reserve and the 14 day counter started on 3-May

It was playing the team with 22 on the active roster. It didn't move any reserves to fill the spot.

These are 3 of my newer players. It looks like the server didn't think I should be able to use them, so it made them inactive.

Listen to the people! They are trying to tell you something!

The only way the AI would take over control of your roster is if you delegate it to them, or there was a problem importing it (which shouldn't happen unless if you're maybe on a much earlier version of the game), or if you have an invalid roster, which is less than 20 players, less than 7 in either lineup, or less than 4 people each starting and in the bullpen (with the starter check obviously not being done in the playoffs, so that you can run a shorter rotation in the WC game or a shorter series). We'll look at more logging that we can do on our end to see what might be going on.

The other thing I can think of is that sometimes, if you have used other methods to avoid the 14-day roster restriction (ie. you set a card inactive, and then went to reactivate them and they moved directly to your main roster), then the server knows about that, and will move them down to your reserve roster so that they can fill the time there. So for anyone here complaining about certain players being moved to the reserve roster, that's quite possibly what happened there. This could also happen if you went to auction a player from your lineup, when they return they'll need to spend the 14 days on the farm before you can re-insert them.

Thanks for replying Matt, none of the things you mentioned as causing this issue applies in my situation. If you have a log indicating activity showing I erred I will be glad to eat crow.

thanks for the clarifications Matt, it's possible I may have taken someone from the AH to put on my roster without realizing I was breaking the 14-day rule. I haven't had this issue so far today and will be more mindful of my lineup settings in the future.

I hadn't changed my roster today. I got Corbin the AH last night (8:36PM). I got Betances last night at 9:02 and then added both of them to the active roster. Dominic Smith was in a pack that I bought at 00:45 this morning. I failed to sell him off.


I believe I added Erlin to the active roster when I made the other 2 pitching changes.


It appears the 3 newest active additions to the entire team were set to inactive. Erlin has been on my team, so it just moved him to the reserve roster. The AI didn't replace the 3 pitchers, so I had 4 (tired) starters and 5 relievers.


The reason I had 23 active players is that Dominic Smith was added to my team as a left fielder. Erlin was moved to the reserve roster so his 14 day countdown started 6 game days before I noticed the issue.


It seem like between 2-May and 4-May in the game, these new players failed a check so the server didn't think I had them and they were removed. It probably wasn't the AI because the AI would have replaced them with 'better' players. Since Corbin and Betances were my highest rated reserves, the AI couldn't replace them with anyone with a better rating.

My game demoted and re promoted George Brett / Scott Rolen respectively

At 10PM EST sim i had Brett in Majors and Rolen in Minors with (14), after i download 10:30PM EST sim i got Brett inactive, and Rolen on main roster with (12) next to it. Game wont play him i am guessing cause of the reserve days.

Hi, according to our log, you only had 3 guys set in your bullpen with roles, so that would have been why the AI jumped in to move guys around. We'll look more into why it ended up like that, but I believe that is the reason for the AI moves.
