Aww, that sucks! Yeah I can see how that's a problem, almost like the player itself its the position in the code so it's position on the team can't be freed for other player.
I'm no coder, but I can't wrap my head around that, besides having access to the source code, in an ideal world, to mod how it works in the game.

What sucks more it's knowing that you put all that work on it, just to hit a roadblock. I'm wondering, in the version of the editor you released, you can already edit player attributes only for 98, so, are those shared positions also sharing the edited attributes in that version? Maybe just accepting that issue of the engine and making those positions, the ones that share a player between teams, being connected in the editor, so if you write player AAAA in FB1 it will also be AAAA in the other team that shares it, having a disclaimer that it's a shortcoming of the game and cannot be modified. Now, while that would not be accurate to actual rosters, at least it would be something.

Another option would be taking a look at how Madden 97 operates, as it's basically the same game, so maybe it does not have that problem. Beyond that, maybe UltraMagnus can take a look at the code and have a better insight on 98 or 97.

Now, just having people gathering around hobbies and things like old videogames, making and releasing new things just for the fun of it and the enjoyment of others it's a thing of wonder on itself, so whatever happens, thank you for your work on the editor and your disposition, what it can already do it's good enough.

Still, let me know if there's a breakthrough, I'm not losing hope hahaha. Take care mate.

Yeah, for sure! I would love to test it, that's my favorite version on genesis.
I really like to fiddle with old games with a lot of data and sim capabilities. So whenever you think you have something ready for testing, let me know and I'll try updating the game's rosters and see if something weird happens. I'd also contact UltraMagnus, if you need help with something, as he really knows the inside of genesis sport games.

Yes!
