At the suggestion from another poster, I have been practicing before embarking on a full replay where I might screw things up. As expected, there have been mistakes but I just about have things under control before I try the "real" replay. The practice environment has been 1962 but I ran into a problem that I don't understand what went wrong, unlike other problems that I either figured out or found an answer by reading the boards. I am the Commissioner of the league with the goal of playing all games against the AI. I selected the option to use the actual lineups and rosters for the replay. When I came to the the April 23 Braves / Dodgers game and looked at the pregame screen, there was a blank spot in the Braves lineup for the 8th hole at catcher. I went to the Retrosheet site to see who the starting catcher should be and saw it was Bob Uecker. Returning to the pregame screen, I saw that Uke was not on the active roster. While looking at the boxscore for the real game, I saw that Lew Burdette was the starting pitcher but OOTP used Warren Spahn, who Retrosheet shows was the 4/24 starter. I also noticed that the two relief pitchers used by the Braves, Willey and Butler, were not on the active roster. I can see that part of the problem is that OOTP has the roster size set at 25 when, in 1962, the roster size for the first 30 days of the season should be 28. I suspect that somewhere I didn't set some flag correctly but I can't figure out why selecting using the actual lineups doesn't work like it should. What did I miss and how do I make sure that the actual lineups and rosters are used every single day?
