Wild card standings bug

[Threnodas]

See the left side (American Conference) of the screenshot. Two teams are tied for a division lead, with worse records than the second wild card team. The wild card standings show games ahead/behind based on the third wild card team, as if there were no division playoff berth and both tied division leaders were trailing in the wild card race for the fifth seed.

I am pretty sure this has been correct in the past, with both tied teams in the wild card standings but not adding a phantom third wild card, right? Did this change recently, and if so, why?

Thanks, we'll fix this up. I think it would have been an issue in the past, anytime the tied teams wouldn't have been WC teams.

This is probably a pretty low priority, but I saw another instance of division leaders tied in the "lead" for a third wild card that doesn't exist, so I thought I'd post a reminder in case this is a relatively quick fix for a future patch.

[Matt Arnold]

I believe this should have been fixed in one of the patches. Are you updated on the most recent version?

[Threnodas]

Yes, I'm on version 22.4 build 49.

Ah, thanks. Looks like it was fixed for cases after the season, but some cases during the season was still off by one.

Ah, good, I'm glad you were able to track it down.

Now if we can talk about why the AI manager just reset my team after my own major overhaul, despite submitting my team between the changes and the simulation, supposedly "successfully" …

What time did that reset happen?

The 3:30 pm EDT sim, right before I posted. I had just opened a bunch of packs and completed some missions, so I wanted to make a handful of roster changes all at once. I moved two of my SP and four of my RP to the reserve roster, deactivated a bunch of reserve players to make room, and activated six new pitchers who were inactive. When deactivating the reserve players, I got pop-ups saying my team failed the sanity check due to too few SP in the rotation, but after I activated the new guys and set my rotation and bullpen, I submitted and was told it was submitted successfully. This was minutes before the next sim, not just before nor during. I was still planning my offensive changes when the next sim ran, and everything was reset. I can't tell if there was an error code with the last submission because it auto-submitted my current team when I quit.

This is for Threnodas34, Fort Bragg Vikings, Bronze 228. Many thanks for the engagement and responsiveness, as always.

Edit: I reread this and realized I only used the word "reset," so in case it wasn't clear, I mean a complete AI manager takeover, with many of my players sent to the reserve roster with a cooldown timer. And yes, I have all four of the roster control settings, the AI has none.
