As in you're not being able to set up anything at all or as in you're setting things up only to have them wiped out as if you did nothing? The first is probably a 'team' issue the second is a known bug that has never, nor will ever be fixed.

Theo Wizzago is the type of coyote that sneaks Mexicans across the Belize border and tells them they are in the United States, cause he believes Belize is a state in the United States. Bet you didn't know that

Yup... if that's his issue. I'm still confuzzled by the OP. If he means he can't even put anyone ON the depth charts, wouldn't that be an 'owner' issue?

Well no one seems to specifically answered his question.

Go here http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/depth_chart.pl?team_id=830§ion=steams
Click autoreorder button

Set your depth charts.

The issue alluded to above is that when you buy a new team, it fills the ST depth chart full of CPU players in all the slots. This prevents you from submitting any depth chart changes because the total length of the http submission is too long (too many characters) for the server. So it spits back either an error or just doesn't work.

It's been known for a long time. Here's the suggestion to fix it i posted over 4 years ago.
When CPU team is purchased, automatic reorder the depth chart (1425 votes for, 257 against)
http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4369626

It won't be fixed but it's known, at least once you've run into the problem, and the way to work around it.

Which assumes his problem is just that... the auto-reorder. The way the OP is worded, his issue might be different. he simply might not be able to put ANYONE on the depth chart. From my old and cranky memory, that's a 'owner' issue. There's a box (I think) you have to check to give anyone powers to view dots or make roster changes. If that box wasn't checked, then he won't be able to do anything, including 'auto-reorder'. (again... I think.)

I assumed nothing. I clicked his name, he has one team. I went to that team, looked at the special teams and his ST depth chart is full of CPU players.

The link i included goes right to his teams ST depth chart

Awesome possum.


Also add for OP, be sure to save your depth chart setup as a preset (see bottom of page when done with setup). This way, should it re-clear itself, you won't have to do it all over again... just re-install the preset.
