I've tried to imagine how the exchange between the manager and pitcher goes in the dugout. "I know we're up 5, but I'm putting a 1B in RF for the last 2 innings. Good luck with the no-no." Being able to set a platoon or depth chart of some fashion would be a very welcome addition.

Left/right power hitter, l/r spark plugs (inning starter) I've noticed too often when I have the winning run on late, it'll bring in a hitter with next to no power, or a power hitter with low hitting to lead off the inning late. I also like the idea of setting certain players to replace certain people. It would be similar to the backup selection.

I think the objectively better choice is Fernando Amador: 1B of L/L 16/16/7/8/12 .287 vs RHP (.293 career). Does the game engine consider attributes only?

Not that i have any control over that.

If I sort my roster, there's an OF that isn't terrible on paper (9/15/12), that it will only put at DH ... so he might be over-scouted there. It has EIGHT times shoved that fool in at SS, when pinch hitting. Why the AI thinks, "hey this game is close ... lets put Butterfingers McGee at SS", is kinda mind boggling. +1000 for some sort of control there, even something as low level as simply a set of checkboxes for "allow position X" on/off. Side note: Defensive subs apparently does NOT work at all, or only when leading significantly? My backup SS was sitting on the bench twiddling his thumbs in ALL 8 of those games. ^^

In management control have a list of positions with player name on/off switch. This Idea should get its own thread. This would work excellent. How we could use this. Example A, all 8 positions with a drop down list of every player. ON/OFF switch

wuggla Joined: 05/10/2013 Posts: 1059 Colorado Springs Vultures VI.28	The reason I like on/off switch. Example B, player X, in game has pinch hit for (lhp/rhp) 5th inning, a list of every player that can play his position, would "AI" into who is on bench with position switch turned on, so player Z would come into game as pinch hit for position list.
