Huge Bullpens and Benches
Running 9.08 on W2K.
In game, I have access to my minor-leaguers, while both hitting and pitching (see attachment). I can use them to PH or pitch while in PBP, although I do not have access to them as defensive replacements. When I run a season sim (i.e., non-PBP, I haven't noticed and minor-league hitters being used, but AAA pitchers show up in box scores frequently. I sim one day at a time, so I know that this has nothing to do w/ injury issues (unless I'm suddenly getting an awful lot of one-day injuries to my pitching staff).
This bug appears to coincide w/ 9.08, since I didn't see it on 9.07 or earlier. I can also only make it appear in games ported from 2K6 -- games that I started on 2K7 don't have it. :confused: It reminds me of the old (like 8.03 and earlier) bug in which the AI would start using AAA pitchers in a game when your bullpen was used up.
Oh, and despite my recent bug reports, thank you, Clay. 2K6 was a huge jump forward, and so is 2K7.

Double check your dates sir.... You are in september, rosters expand to 40 men then... Just a possibility i wanted to check on... if its all year then yes it is a bug :)
Re: Huge Bullpens and Benches
If you cant sub them in as defensive replacemnets, thats a bug.
There should be some designation in the lineup screen that you know have an expanded roster.

Ugh. That's what I get for playing until half past midnight and then posting in the morning, pre-caffeine. :o
The expanded lineups option occurred to me on my drive to work this morning. I haven't seen them on earlier versions, and I didn't see anything in the Help about them in 2K7.
Turns out that I was confusing saved games on the defense "bug," so there is no bug.

I don't see anything in the lineup dialog, and the only indication in PBP is that I have nine more hitters and six more pitchers. What does the designation look like?

Agreed on both counts.
Also there WAS a bug before 9.07 where you had expanded rosters in the PLAYOFFS. That should now be fixed, but it's another possible cause for confusion.

Whew. Before I saw the quote of Houston, I thought that Clay agreed that I had brain-farted, and that I need to caffeinate before posting.
