Reassigning Human Controlled Teams at the End of Fantasy Draft

columbro · 06-08-2004, 03:03 PM

Hello. I recently started a new league along with a new manager career. I began the league with a 80 round fantasy draft.

While the draft was going on, I took alot of time on the transaction page setting up the 25-man active roster, 40-man roster, and placing players at the appropriate level of minor/major leagues.

The problem is, after the draft is over, the AI completely rearranges all levels of my franchise. Switching players from one level to another, re-doing the 40 man roster, making changes to my active 25 man roster, and even switching players positions!

It doesn't matter if I select the 'fill rosters with fictional players' option or not, this still occurs. I have checked the team status page and all operations are supposed to run by the human player. I have never clicked the 'auto-manage minor leagues' button or any other that would give up control.

Am I missing something? Or is this the way it is supposed to work? If so, this really needs to be changed. Before the last patch, it was simply a big pain to go back and re-adjust all the rosters. Now, because players removed from the 40-man roster need to be put on waivers (which is the correct rule, by the way) this 'feature' can screw up your whole team.

Anyway, if there is a simple solution to this that I am missing, can someone please direct me to it. If not, please at least add an option so that the AI never makes any adjustments to the Human Controlled team unless asked to.

Thanks alot for your help.

Team set-up>check that you have your *minor leagues* human-controlled.

Yup. It's set to 'human manager'. I have a backed up copy of my league right at the last round of the draft with all the rosters set the way I want them. No matter what I do, when the draft finishes, the AI makes a bunch of changes.

I turned off the 40-man roster from the league setup, and it still happened(the shuffling). At least I can then move the players back without putting anyone on waivers and then re-enable 40 man roster.

This is hardly an elegant solution to a problem that doesn't really need to exsist, though.

If anyone has done a fantasy draft to start a new league and been able to avoid this, please let me know.

Lets see if I understand this correctly. The AI overwrites the moves you've done while the initial draft is underway?
What about the moves after the draft has taken place?
