This isn't a bug. This isn't "testing" the code and alerting you there is an issue. Where's the alert?

This is a deliberate exploit of a known parameter and then intentionally hacking something we know is wrong.

Suggestion:

Please add a script that runs at the beginning of every day where if you don’t have 36 players on your roster, you automatically lose any League or Ladder game. This wouldn’t have any effect on “off” days or effect “scrims”, but there’s no justification for it happening on “game day”.

Huh?? More like Dream was way over the cap in the off-season, couldn't resign any players, and had to retire a bunch of players. The result....under the cap to where most of the roster could resign, but under 36 players. The goal was to retire the S*HB and another S* to fill the roster with hybrid D pickups to replace retire dots, but RL got in the way on the changeover. There's already rookie dots ready to jump to Journey in the offseason. There's no magic to this, its just a result of retired players.

Of course, you could have simply asked.

this is something that should be addressed (being under player limits and being over salary cap limits)

right now I could have a 35 man s* roster on high contracts

1 could be an accident, 5 is intentional.

For Science is another team abusing this just not to dream teams extent

Well yeah, the intent was to get under the cap so I could resign players. I didn't get the retiree replacements in place in time before the end of offseason, so rolled them in rookie and will bring them up in Journey.

The point is it could be deliberately exploited and the devs are doing nothing about it. Like Adderfist said, he could make a team of 35 S* players with high contracts and there isn't a damn thing that will be done about it.

A hard limit both ways could be good(under 36 and over the cap), I don't disagree, I'm just a bit shocked by the tone in here. Like anyone's who's been around for a while has had roster snafus before, usually going over the cap.

I'm tired from Thanksgiving and annoyed, so will just drop a bunch of low contracts and will add some CPUs. I don't have interest in ill feelings, we all come here to have fun

Actually I haven’t done this… however we beat you anyway so it is what it is. I just play

This literally does not have to be a witch hunt - it's been a talked about and known exploit, we should just be trying to get the devs to fix it. Everyone agrees it's not a good thing to be left in, even those who have used it.

I never touched a multi, does that give me the right to demonize those who choose to exploit something the devs don't care about?

Actually yeah, it should- DEMONS, ALL OF YE!

It's all on me, next time I'll just ask DD for help or better yet let them all fall off the roster. I retired some dots during the offseason to get under the cap, and if I had known not having 4 or 5 CPUs would be such a big deal, I would have made sure I didn't miss the offseason changeover. I would much prefer a 37-man roster to a paper thin 31 one.

That rumor has never been confirmed to be true, but I often suspect the same thing.

It wasn't like you had 31 players and extra cap space to sign the 5 players you needed to be legit.

And then again, I didn't say to nuke your team. I figured this would have continued this season and then they would get it fixed (or not) for the next season. At which point, you could have made it legit.

But the real answer is that if you had 31 players and $15 million of unused cap and a bug post/ support request to fix your team, no one would care. Stuff happens.

This one went a little extreme and others are doing it too, so it's time to shut the exploit down by fixing the bug.

I agree it's extreme for the tone, not really needed for it. That being said we really should have this fixed.
