I'm playing in an offline, self-contained league. Uses essentially the default settings for OOTP. We have roster expansion on 1 September (26 players to 28 players).

I thought it used to be that on the Rosters and Transactions screen, you could see all the players in your system who were eligible for the postseason in MLB. (That is, you might have a player who was on the roster on 1 Sept in-game but was sent down before the end of the season.) But maybe I'm imagining that. Maybe, instead, it was on the Player List screen.

The reason I'm wondering is this. Players listed on any roster will have an ampersand next to their name if they're eligible for the playoffs. However, if their name is too long, you can't see all of the superscript symbols that follow it. Players will have an asterisk for being on the 40-man roster, a plus for being out of options, a carat if they can refuse an assignment to the minors, and so on.

So you can't always see the ampersand, and it doesn't look like you can adjust the column width in order to see it.

Setting the Rosters & Transactions screen to display 1 column by 1 row helps, but it still won't show every eligible player (owing to names being long sometimes).

Is there a setting I'm missing?
