The previous version set a maximum of 12 or 13 players based on certain factors. I think this is a holdover from the 20/21 season when the Board of Governors allowed teams to have 15 active players as extra COVID precaution, and now it's codified in the CBA as the rule. Good catch!

Thanks, good job searching for a more in depth reason. Anyone think this is something 2K could fix in a patch?
