Did They Ever Patch Back In Ability to have 26 on 40 Man?

[kpeercy]

I have no interest in roster moves and just want a set roster that won't change when ST ends. I previously could do this by playing Season mode, which was great. When that was removed, I could still accomplish the same thing by only having 25 (now 26) on the 40 man. This year, they removed that. Was that ever restored? I deleted the game when I found out you had to have 40 on the 40 man.

You do not need 40 on the 40 man. You can have a max of 40 as it has always been but that is not a hard number to have.

I can't speak to the lineups and what not changing at the end of spring as I have never had that problem.

No. This was changed with this version. You can try to have only 26, but it auto fills the other positions to get to 40.

Hmm. I have simulated 20 plus seasons on the show this year and have yet to see the CPU auto fill the 40 man roster. I know this sounds weird but I like to sim seasons with teams and play 10 years down the road. If I have 31 guys on my 40 man over the off season I have 31 at MLB on spring training then when I sim to the season, I have 26 on my main and 31 on my 40 for example.

What I will say is that I use single team control and not 30 so that may be a difference if you see that and I don't. I also start my first season in spring training and not regular season so that may also make a difference.

To add I also have everything set to manual so may be another difference.

I'm almost positive this is why the two different experiences

If you need 40 players on the 40 man then I broke the game. Only got about 32 on there right now.

If you don't want lineups to change out of spring training you must have lineup and roster moves set to manual. Then, on or before the last day of spring training, send all but your planned 26 man roster down to the minors.

The CPU will not change your lineup if you do those two things.

This is accurate and my same experience.
