Computer controlled team, not enough active players

[Captain Jerk]

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.

That simple huh? Are you sure it has nothing to do with the Royals winning it all?? Thanks.

Let me know if those changes take care of the problem for you.

I completed all the changes without any problems. It says to simulate one day for the changes to take effect. My issue now is it won't let me simulate the day because the Astros don't have enough players to compete in a game. Is there any way around this or am I basically screwed and have to start over?

well, you can go to manager options, turn on commish mode and then put some players on Houston or you can use the action button to fill them with fictional players. Since you are doing a real league you might want to sign a few FA for the Astros or move some players up from the minors for them.
