Fantasy Draft Franchise: Only 1-3 position players on CPU bench

[The Cleaner III]

After I advance past spring training in franschise mode, I notice that the CPU controlled teams will have only 10-11 position players, and 14-15 pitchers. I haven't started my franschise yet because of most teams only having 2 position players on their bench. Some teams only have 1 batter on their bench. Is anyone else having this problem?

I had that problem too, but if I recall correctly, over times the other teams adjusted their rosters so it was more realistic. By the second season they will definitely have a full 25 man roster.

Me too. I've posted this problem here & on the show nation & have gotten zero feedback about it. Knight? Anybody? Any thoughts? Are a select few of us going crazy not being able to find any sort of fix to this problem?

Not really into the solution of simulating a season, kind of defeats the purpose of doing a fantasy draft in the first place.

Been playing The Show for the past 5 versions of the game & fantasy draft franchises is usually the only mode I play in (never had this problem until this year's game), so having this problem this year is a real bummer.

I noticed the same thing in my Fantasy Draft 'chise. However, almost all the other teams have several ML players in the minors so they have the depth needed should they experience an injury. They just won't have the same PH flexibility late in games that I will. Hopefully as the season progresses they'll start calling those players up.

The only fix I can think of is to control all 30 teams and re-run the draft, then you'd be able to set proper rosters for the other teams.
