Goaltender historic roster limits

The game accurately limits the NHL roster size to 14 (9F, 4D, 1G) in 17/18, but the game requires teams to dress two goalies . For decades (until 1965/66), teams only had one goalie dressed. I do not know whether this is a bug right through or not (just getting started w/ FHM6).

It's not a bug. It's more a compromise, as Jeff has explained before to make sure the mode works correctly.

Yeah, it's going to require a bunch of rewriting of the roster and lineup systems to get 1-goalie teams working. I do want to do it at some point, though.

So is there a way to manually increase roster sizes -- without being a commissioner & disabling achievements?
