Trying to stop the AI from adding free agents to team its managing. Suggestions appreciated.

I'm new to the game and watched tutorials but haven't been able to solve this problem in 4 days of trying.

If you don't want any teams to make changes to their teams you can make that change in the Functions under league settings. You can assign every team to not allow AI roster changes. That includes signing free agents. So if you're trying to keep the teams the exact same way through a season or off-season that's what you'll want to do.

Thanks
Alex

You can do lots of things in Commissioner Mode.
Turn off all trades for the entire league or allow trades but make them low frequency and very difficult.
Turn off waivers so nobody can add waiver claims. I don't usually do this for the entire league as it can create 40 man situations for some teams who can then just DFA and assign guys to their minors.
Turn off the amateur draft. I like doing this when I am doing a custom game of a historical team in a franchise mode. Without the draft amateur free agents sign with their correct teams so Yaz for example signs with the RedSox and teams have no benefit from tanking.

When I am GM of some team I usually allow low frequency difficult trades by the other teams but if want to be internal I voluntarily do not make trades for my own team. I usually allow waivers but again voluntarily do not make my own claims if staying internal. If I want to stay internal I do not even make Rule 5 claims. Playing franchise mode starting in the current year I do have the amateur draft and make choices for my team and I allow free agents but I do not try to sign anyone by my own team if I wish to operate within internal inventory. Two things I turn off for all teams when free agents are allowed are established international players and independent league players. I guess I don't like some rich team finding Roy Hobbs.
