I'm a PC user running the latest patch of OOTP. I'm playing in an offline solo MLB quickstart game. The only option I changed in the game was to not use the DH in either league. I have simulated through 2 full seasons successfully, going into my 3rd season, I chose the option to simulate through spring training to opening day. On the first day of spring training, all games simmed accordingly except for one. An error message came up and stated that the Houston Astros did not have enough active players and that they only had 8 active players. The game will not let me move any further along. When setting up my season, I didn't use commissioner mode. Personally I think I scared the Astros into trying to contract from the MLB. I mean after all, I guided the Royals to a 118 win season and a Championship!!! I'm surprised more teams didn't also give up before the season started

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help I can get in order to continue my dominance. Also, on a side note, when I delete a game that was in progress, the file is deleted but the name of the game remains in "Load Game" area on the main screen. Not a huge issue, but an annoyance. Thank You for your help.
