OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Feedback Needed! AI Changing My Roster/Lineups/Depth Charts!

Would it be possible to let the AI manager fill the lineups but use some common sense in the process?

I prefer to just play the role of GM, sim games, and let my AI handle at least the minor league rosters. When I call up a player from the minors, it wreaks havoc on that minor league team if I let the AI manager fill the new lineup(s). I'd prefer not go through the process resetting depth charts and lineups, a process I have to repeat over and over if I send that player back to his minor league club.

The AI manager will fill the lineup based on natural position, which makes sense. But if I only have one player who is a natural 1B or SS for example, the AI manager will insert that player in the lineup for every single game past the point of exhaustion.

I don't know if the game can be coded to have a utility IF who naturally plays 2B & SS playing 3B or put a Catcher at 1st base to give those starters a breather once in a while but it sure would make things a lot easier.
