Anyone else having issues loading into today's Daily Moment, What If: Robinson vs. Kershaw? I keep getting a message saying "You need at least 26 players on your team, please adjust it before playing." Then I get, "ERROR: Lost connection with opponent."

I also find myself wanting more/different Team Captains. Pack pulls and cards released after I chose my captains have me wanting to have made different choices.
What I want to see for Team Captains is past Face of the Franchise type players. As a fan of particular teams I'm scratching my head wondering why the bulk of the Captains players that came up through a team but play for a different team now. If I were a Yankees fan I would be excited to use Whitey Ford and Don Mattingly as my Captains but those players are synonymous with the Yankees. As a Reds fan I'm like why are Sonny Gray and Eugenio Suárez my captains? Both were great players but neither is a "Face-of-the-Franchise" player. Each team has wealth of past legends so why not pull from those for captains? SDS is correct to make them 87 overalls but that is already fitting players into an OVR mold. As a Reds fan give me an 87 OVR of José Rijo or Rob Dibble as my pitching captain and and 87 OVR of Barry Larkin or Johnny Bench as my Captain. If I were a die hard Cubs fan I would want an Ernie Banks. As I pirate I would want Roberto Clemente. I guess they were aiming for players that wouldn't interfere with playing the best version of Barry Larkin but I think I would rather choose between an 87 OVR Larken Captain and say a 99 OVR Larkin awards but then there aren't very many players with multiple versions within Season 1. At least I would have a player on my team that everyone would think of as a Reds player.
Just food for thought and something I've been chewing on this year.
