I too am a newbie to this particular game and am in need of some help here. was trying to set my line up for league play. got batting order set but am having problems with defensive alignments. keep getting errors about having duplicate entries wen selecting player positions. What am i doing wrong? Also, can line ups be changed during the course of seasons or are they locked in once you have them set?

Pay close attention to who is selected to do what, and remember everyone who has a spot in the lineup must have a position as well (including the DH, as that is a drop down choice).

C,1B,2B,SS,3B,LF,CF,RF,DH. You need to assign both the batting position and the fielding position for all nine players before hitting the submit button.

Until you get used to it I'd do it like this. 1. change every box to blank. 2. put 1-9 on the players in the order you want them batting. 3. assign each a position (making sure there are no duplicates)

It can be annoying, but you get used to being careful after a while and it happens less often. I'd really like to see the interface for this improved. It would be much nicer to just get some red text saying "invalid lineup" without changing the page. That way you could identify and correct your error without having to keep redoing your lineup. This would require client side error checking as opposed to server side error checking (which is how I think it probably works now). Steve could still do server side checking for stability, but client side checking would make the UI much more friendly for users. Updated Tuesday, July 19 2016 @ 8:04:46 pm PDT
