DAK - UTA Trade

[BradZ]

I propose the following: I'll re-sign Burroughs.

Then trade Burroughs and Dakota's 7th back to Dakota in exchange for his 6th.

And then Dakota will trade his 7th back to me again in exchange for his 6th back again.

That should leave us both even. And it can be all done for the regular season 1 sim, I think. That is, Dakota will need to go into regular season 1 with 52 players (45 active) and a fully set depth chart, with Burroughs being added to both lists during the sim, but not appearing on the depth chart.

It must be a mistake that got him released by Dakota. He wasn't even close to the 60 player limit, and the 53 limit is not auto enforced until the regular season starts.

Let me take a look at this and see what we need to do. DAK is one of the teams I got a warning message on pre-SIM saying transactions were going to need to be made. Everyone should know if there are empty spots or not enough players at given positions that the AI can do a number on your roster. I'll try to backtrack and see what went on here.

Ok, went back and took a look at this. DAK signed 2 new players this round, and traded for another. That pushed the Active roster up to 49, or 3 too many (quite a shortcoming of the game since we're in preseason. You should be able to have more players active). The AI made roster adjustments to compensate to get the Active Roster down to 46.

We'll get Burroughs back on DAK's roster in tomorrow's MidWeek.

no problem, he's a project for me anyway.

It's odd that the AI didn't make players inactive, but instead released guys.

I'm glad that it is working out!

if for some reason it doesn't, I'll just give Dakota his 7th back and we'll treat it as a "conditional 7th, if he makes the opening day 53." But hopefully it does :)

nah just leave him in the fa pool hehehehehe

Yeah, I found it pretty weird the way the AI acted too because I could've fielded a complete team. At least it didn't release any of my affinity granting leaders this time.

Is there anything I should with my roster before the next sim to make sure the computer doesn't do anything INSANE to my roster?

At this point you have to worry about two numbers, total roster spots and active roster spots. Total roster needs to be at 53, active at 46. The previous SIM the issue was solely with the Active roster figure, as the preseason still seems to hold you to the 46 number.

So Brad, am I still re-signing Burroughs this sim in order for the trade to go through, or is there vodoo admin magic going on there instead?

Foos, to add to what Brad said, you should make sure your roster has 52 total players (excluding IR), so that the number gets to 53 with Burroughs added in-sim, and fill your depth chart with 45 active players, so it will jump to 46 with Burroughs in-sim. There's no real way for Burroughs to start off inactive on the roster, I think.

Exported with 45 active 7 inactive.....FINGERS CROSSED.

It doesn't really matter. There's really no admin function that would allow me to just place him back on the roster (at least not one that I'm aware of). So, if you sign him, I'll get him over to Dakota, if you don't, I'll find another way.

[BradZ]

The well traveled Mr Burroughs is back where he belongs . . .for now.

For the midweek it doesn't really matter. You could have more than 53 on the roster even and however many of them active.

Just make sure you go with those limits for the game sim. I was guessing it would take that long to get Burroughs back on your roster...could be wrong though!

Brad, thanks so much!

Looks like I've got Burroughs again, thanks Brad and Nutah!
