Add me to the list of people who wished this worked properly. If I raise the limits in my minor leagues to >25, I can set up my affiliates accordingly. However, the AI affiliates will always have a 25 man roster except at the lowest level. If my AAA active roster is set to 30, the AI teams will always have a roster showing 25/30. I prefer to have more than 25 man rosters at all minor league levels to compensate for the fact there is no minor league disabled list. I do not want a team handicapped by injuries to only have 20 players available, or 8 pitchers available for example.
Additionally, since we're on the subject of rosters, I wish we could set a preference to mandate a standard number of pitchers and position players on AI rosters. I know we can play with the strategy sliders, but even if I set them all the way to prefer pitching each AI team still only has 11 or 12 pitchers at the max. I wish I could, for example, say that I want all AI teams to have 30 man active rosters, with 14 pitchers and 16 position players and the AI would then set up each team accordingly. I love a style of liberal substitutions, especially in blowouts, and numerous lefty/righty relief pitcher matchups. Similar to September MLB with the expanded rosters.
The disregard of minor league active roster preferences does appear to be a bug.
