2 things that bug me

[joshcoonradt]

1. Playoff rosters. You call guys up in September then have to put some of them thru waivers to set your playoff roster. I would like to see real playoff rosters put in place. Where you can choose any 25 guys you want from your 40 man roster per round.

2.Stolen bases. In pbp mode you tell a guy to steal and he dosn't...very frustrating.

Great game....way to addicting

Thanks,
Josh

#2 is because he doesnt get a good jump, if he keeps going he'll likely be thrown out...

I think with regards to #1 that the real life system is that the 25 that you use in the playoffs must be on the 25 man roster no later than August 31 or September 1 (can't remember which). The exception is when injuries happen. That allows you to choose any player off the 40 to replace the injured player. It may have changed in recent years though, I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: To be eligible to play in the post-season a player must either be on the 25-man roster or the 15-day or 60-day DL as of August 31. Any player in the organization is eligible to replace an injured player in the post-season. If this replacement player is not on the 40-man roster, he must be placed on the 40 before he can be added to the post-season roster.

On the stolen bases, I'm pretty sure you can Send Forced and he'll have to go or you can Run and Hit and he'll go.

Telling him to just Steal means he will if he can get the good jump.
