    Every Free Agent Signed is Added to 40 Man Roster

    Has anyone run into this?

    I replaced the Legends with 2018 Draft Hopefuls and International Free Agents. Every time I sign a player, he is automatically added to the 40 man roster and the MLB team. I've toggled the Team Level select in the Free Agent screen to AAA, AA, A with the same outcome.

    None of the players have service time. I've thought that perhaps it was that Casey Mize was a 71 overall so I tried a player who was a 58 overall and he was added to the 40 man roster/MLB team.

    Is it because I saved over the Legends and the CPU sees anyone in that category as a former major leaguer? I just tested this theory and I find it false. I signed a player that has always been in the free agent group with no service time and he was added to the 40 man roster also.

    I didn't have this issue last year...I'm really regretting purchasing this game this year.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Fill your 40 man roster before signing the player; that should fix the problem.

    However, I've signed players to fill minor league spots and they were definitely not added to the 40 man, so that's weird that all of them are being added.

      Yeah, I did that and it still added the player to the 40 man roster and pushed my 40 man roster to 41.

      This is weird, thanks for the idea though.

        Hmm, that sounds like a glitch. Are you signing during the season or in the offseason?

          During the season, the middle of April.

          I'm doing 30 team control so I could remove all the players I sign from the 40 man and then turn every team's free agent signing to manual until all the players get through waivers but I shouldn't have to do that.

          Is it just me or is the game extremely "buggy" this year. I've always tried to give SCEA the benefit of the doubt but this year has me rethinking how much longer I want to be a gamer.

          Sorry for the mini-rant...

            Ok, I did some testing on this issue and I found out that if you Allow Legend Free Agents, even if you've replaced the Legends with other players, every free agent you sign will be added to the 40 man roster/MLB roster.

            I created a franchise where I didn't Allow Legend Free Agents and things worked the way they're supposed to.

            I've put too much time into creating these 2018 Draft/International prospects to turn back now. I'd hope this can be fixed but with it being June already, I won't hold my breath.

              This subject has always drove me crazy (especially during the off-season free agent period).

              I don't want every guy I sign in the off-season on my 40-man roster. Alot of times you are just trying to fill up AA or AAA rosters. What;s the secret to signing a free agent and having control whether to add him to 40-man or not?
