There's no need to quadruple post like that to bump the most recently active topic that's right at the top of the page already. It's just spamming, which is against the rules.
I've already answered the question and explained the situation above, but I'll try to lay it out again as clearly as I can.
NBA 2K11 does not and cannot support rosters bigger than 15 players, the maximum roster size at the time it was developed. What you want to do is impossible. It will always crash if you add more than 15 players to a team's roster, because the game was not coded to work with a non-standard roster size. It's not programmed to handle those extra players when managing the rosters in Association and My Player, so when it encounters them, it'll crash.
There is no solution to this in REDitor II, or anything to hex edit that will make it work. You can't increase the roster size anywhere. This is a limitation imposed by the game's coding and design to handle roster management, as per how NBA team rosters worked in 2010-2011. The only solution is to find an alternative that works within the limitations of the game's programming.
The most logical workaround is to leave two-way players and anyone else who isn't active/vital in the Free Agents pool, because if you try to have more than 15 players on a roster, it will crash. It will crash because the game is coded for a maximum of 15 players per team, and there's no way to change that. What you're trying to do is impossible, and will only lead to crashing, so you need to find the next best solution to handle modern roster sizes.
The only viable solution - since we can't change the roster size - is the one I've mentioned above. It's not perfect, but it's the only one that won't crash the game, since we can't make the rosters bigger than what they're coded to be. When you're modding a game that's over a decade old and there's been changes like this in the NBA, you need to work with what the game will allow. Trying to do otherwise won't lead to the creation of a viable roster.
