Re: players disappearing ??? anyone have this problem???

It happens if you move them to AA also, Don't know about AAA as I can't remember if I tried that (I think I did). The issue is if the player is on DL (for the year), they shouldn't get replaced, they should, at the minimum, be placed in the Free Agent Pool

What's even weirder is that I sim'd to the end of the season, and during one sim, I had 6 players injured on the DL at seasons end, they all came back in the following season (some would retire from injury, but not on the team I was RttSing at the time)

You don't have to move players back to the MLB roster to avoid this. You can move them to AA, I can confirm it because I have two RTTS' files that use OSFM and no missing players.

It takes a bit of editing, but you have to get the injured big leaguers, and top prospects that you want to keep, out of single-A.

Single A is heavily replaced with all of the players from the showcase games. That's 7 rounds of 30 selections.

If you don't want a player overwritten, get him out of A-ball.

Edit:

The injured MLB players are on the 40-man roster, but I have several of the 1st year draft players from this year on my roster. The prospects were all in AA at the start.

Re: players disappearing ??? anyone have this problem???

These rosters are terribly outdated (save for the 1st year players being on it), but players don't disappear.

Even guys not on the 40-man, like Johan:











I dunno if it's a file-to-file issue or what, but the base for this is an early OSFM roster w/ pitch edits, and 1st year players (Aiken, Kolek, Alex Jackson, Kodi Medeiros, etc.)

The MLB players on the 40-man are instantly called up to the majors from AA & AAA, if they're on the 40-man. I can run another sim and see what happens if they're not on the 40-man, but seeing as how Johan doesn't disappear from the file while NOT being on the 40-man & in AAA, it should be fine.

I'll double check tho.

Re: players disappearing ??? anyone have this problem???

I haven't checked, so not sure, but I think they are not on the 40 man (the players we are trying to move). I ran though using the OSFM, v1 I think, and moved Harvey to AA and he disappeared at season start (along with B Parnell for me)

You have Harvey as an MLB Ace in the rotation, what we are trying to do is not to have them in the rotation due to being out for the year. We know that if we place them back in the MLB they will be there, which is why some of us are try to place them (players that are out for the year) in AA (or class A - but we now know that the cpu in overwriting players in class a with draft picks thanks to a poster up top).

I guess we are trying to find a solution that would help. This is why I wish in RttS we could have the option to control the roster (line-ups/rotation/40 man/25 man/etc) if a player wanted to, kind of like a Franchise Light. Maybe one year we will have something similar to Maddens Connected career mode

I got that, but if you look at the Johan Santana pics, you'll see that he's not on the 40-man and he's in AAA, and he didn't disappear.

I tested it out again by taking guys off of the 40-man and keeping them in the minors -- above A-leve (Harvey, Hellickson, Kershaw, etc.)l, and they didn't disappear.

I don't know what we're doing differently, but I can confirm that players don't disappear with the set I'm using, as long as they're not in A, regardless of the 40-man roster.

I swear these players aren't disappearing, lol.

Some get called up to the majors before you'd probably like:





This is after I let it sim a month. But for the most part, the guys not on the 40-man, aren't getting called up too soon. I'm sure some will, and others will be called up in September or at season's end.

So if you want these rosters to test, let me know and I'll upload them to the vault.

By the way, if you play Madden's CFM as a player, you have zero roster control, so it would essentially be the same thing.
