CPU Roster Control help/inquiry

[KnightTemplar]

OK….I have ALWAYS used the CPU ROSTER CONTROL ON, all 30 teams, everything set to manual. Never had a problem. Part of the love of this game is making the real life trades, adjusting team lineups, call ups/send downs, players who are out for the season thrown down into A ball.

Here’s the problem and I want to know if anyone else who plays this way has had this happen.

In my franchise, and at the trade deadline my ACQUISITION screen shows:

FREE AGENTS
PLAYER SEARCH
PLAYER SEARCH
CONTRACTS

In previous releases it would always register

FREE AGENTS
CPU ROSTER CONTROL
PLAYER SEARCH
CONTRACTS

The CPU ROSTER CONTROL option has disappeared. I don’t know if this is by design this year, or something amiss in my game. I experimented with the latest live roster….same thing. It disappears.

Can someone who plays this way confirm? I’m not asking for arguments about the merits of making roster moves after the trade deadline (they do actually happen) as this option has always been there in previous versions.

I was thinking of uninstalling, reinstalling my game, but if this is something others are experiencing (who play this way) I guess I’m just out of luck.

This is a bicker free thread.

I ran into this a few weeks ago. It’s a bug and you’re screwed. Won’t come back until new season starts. Game killer for sure if you want September call ups and rookies etc. I started a new one and just control all 30 teams manually now to avoid that

Thanks for confirming it’s just not my game. I’m leaning a bit more to someone deciding to do this as it happens at the trade deadline and not a bug. Sort of arbitrarily sticking us with it. Again, thanks for the reply.

Just encountered this. Are you kidding? ? This is a KILLER. I like to keep up with "real" moves in the season for all 30 teams. And Keep CPU Roster control on. They can't patch this??

I was hoping for a patch today. I have sent several bug reports explaining in detail how, for guys like us, it is a HUGE pain to make the trades. Release player, new team claims on waivers, wait 3 days. I’ve found 7 SP on teams, lineups all messed up. It makes NO sense to remove it. It’s been fine for several years, and I hope this is just a glitch and not by design.

Submitted a bug report too

Same issue. My work around is releasing and claiming by the new team. I have it set so CPU cannot make waiver claims. But losing the roster control option does suck. But it just takes a few more steps to make the changes you want. Not a game killer imo though.

it is for me. Didn't set any other CPU controls. Never had to. I can now only control my team

Re: CPU Roster Control help/inquiry

I've never used CPU Roster control so I don't know exactly how it works, but could a workaround be making 2 profiles and assigning a profile that has Roster Moves, 40 Man, Waivers, Etc set to Manual and everything else set to auto to the teams that you don't normally control and then have your normal profile assigned to your team? I don't know if this would accomplish the same thing.

I have everything set to manual. I have roster control set for ALL 30 teams. I still control all 30 teams EXCEPT can no longer simply trade player A for player B in the (now removed) ROSTER CONTROL in ACQUISITIONS. It’s been replaced with an additional PLAYER SEARCH option (which does nothing when you click on it). I now have to go thru the whole waiver, release, claim procedure to move players. In doing so it messes up lineups/pitching rotations.

There was absolutely no reason to remove this option. None.
