OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - 2994 - minor leage lineups/depth charts and rotation won't stick

Here is teh back ground: I started a completely fictional league based on the Major American League... and started the game with no job.

Took a job as manager of a single A team.

I have the strategy settings set to take pitching rotation and line-up information from me, the manager.

I sim up to spring training / opening day of the Majors so that my major league team drafts and gives me some players, and I then ask my coach to set the initial line-ups and rotation.

After I make changes to the line-ups and rotation I sim a week at a time.

However I can't even sim one day without my line-ups and rotation getting changed to whatever the bench coach (or some other Game AI) thinks it should be.

Even when there are no personell changes from the major league, every game my pitching rotation gets reset... and pretty much at any time my line-ups and depth charts can be reset.

How do I lock the AI out of my minor league rotation and line up decisions for the team I am managing?

As a side note, one particular annoyance was the fact that the AI repeatedly removed my star 2nd baseman from every line-up even though he was the best player on the team and the scouting system reported him as the organizations #1 prospect.

Interesting choice to sit him out every game.
