Custom Roster - Unable to use League Settings

[charlie]

I've created a custom roster. Starts up a game all okay but I'm unable to use any of the league settings, some of the tabs or blank, some show but I can't select anything.

I've compared my roster file to ones that work and can't see anything obvious as to why it creates an error.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

When I immediately export the players after the game starts there are additional players added?

Players assigned to teams are the same, but those unsigned.

My roster - 1078/3447
Exported roster - 1782/4151

Whats the cause of this? And, could it be reason for issue?

The game fills up extra players based off of positional mins and maxes and adds a bunch for free agency signings, future drafts, etc.

Thanks. Are there a minimum number should aim for?

Any thoughts on why I can’t use the league settings?

No idea on the league settings other than there being some issue with images or blocked files that it's trying to open from a mod or related graphics issue?

I would start a normal sandbox league and look at league settings for the out of the box min/max position numbers for a 53 man league to see what numbers you need to shoot for if you don't want extra filler loaded in. Approx it's 53 men per team, plus whatever your practice squad number is per team, plus another 10 per team.

Thanks. What images / graphics could be an issue?

I converted the csv into json to import. What could be a blocked file issue?

Thanks I did. I'll check all the teams but the min totals 44, I have 65-80 per team.

Does a custom roster need to be within the default limits for each position?

"plus another 10 per team" is that the free agency need?

Thanks

Yes, the game generates extra players to seed free agency in case teams don't hit position mins. So if your import is below that number it will generate filler players.

But that just means when you go to sim games if any team is not at minimum for a position it won't let you proceed. I don't think that would break the league settings.

The league settings I thought may be related to mods or files if you have them open and Windows has locked them (like if you're editing or viewing images in windows and the game is trying to access them at the same time). Normally this just means you close any open windows or other apps to release those locks and it goes away.

But if you're not using any mods or custom files anywhere and you're just trying to import players via json I have no idea why that would break the league settings page. It's not something I've seen before. I guess you could try breaking down your import into several files and create a league with each chunk until you find the chunk that has a bad player in it? Maybe you're using an invalid value for a player or a trait/flag that isn't supported? I just think if you don't have anything else that causes the issue, and a default sandbox league works fine, then it's got to be related to the players you're importing.

Thanks. Appreciate the response.

I have noticed I’m under the FB limit.

I did have a trait issue. But the game just doesn’t import the player with the error trait.

I’ll try the section by section approach and see what happens.

Good news. The league settings all work.

Bad news.



* I can get past free agency if I configure teams to manual. But if i change back, it sticks on simming week 1 - if i sim a game one at a time, it sticks on last game of the week.

[brooks_piggott]

That's probably due to the CPU Teams trying to drop / add players to get their balance right. Could be financial issues, or could be not enough players in free agency for the teams to do what they want.
