AI Squad Roster Movement Issue

Danius · 11-22-2023, 11:07 AM

I'm playing as a GM, and I've played 4 full seasons so far, 2 in England and 2 in Germany. Then I got an offer to join the Florida Everblades (cool name) in the ECHL. This is where the problems have started.

It appears that I am supposed to be in control of the roster movement for the club, but every time anything changes (someone gets injured, someone gets called up or down from the Panthers) my roster is completely different. This has nothing to do with moves needed to be moved for cap space or anything of the sort. More often than not, it ends up with 9 defensemen in addition to the 2 GK, which leaves me with 9 forwards, which I can't have, because I have to dress 10; so before almost every game, I have to make a roster move to get enough forwards on the squad.

Also, twice now, a player with a Day-to-Day non-game unavailable injury (the orange kind, not even the red) has been placed on the IR (21 days, I think) by the AI, so a day or two later, they are good to go, but they have to spend 3 weeks on the IR before they can return! That's a major pain, especially when it's a first-liner.

Is there some hidden toggle or option that disallows anyone else in the organization from making roster moves? My manager options page says I'm in charge of that, but it is greyed out (I can't change it), so maybe it's not active? It showed I was in charge with my other two clubs too, but I can't say whether or not it was greyed out. Also, I'd prefer to not leave Challenge Mode, as I've played this long with it on. If I have to leave Challenge Mode to fix it, I might just put up with it for the season, and then leave at the end of it, and hope my luck is better in another league.
