OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Lineup substitution screen finicky-ness

In my no-DH fictional league, I am making a double switch in a close game after using my backup catcher as a PH in the eighth. I put the new pitcher in in the #6 spot and then absent-mindedly set the #9 spot defensive position to P, then realize my mistake and switch it to C and set #6 to P. Whatever.

Game ends. On the recap, I see this:

Smith PH, P, C.

He never even warmed up on the mound; he was a pitcher only for two seconds on the lineup card before being scratched out in error! Only in OOTP is a manager stuck with the mistakes he makes on his lineup card before he even leaves the dugout!

This is probably just another sub-problem of the main one: stuff that you do on that substitutions screen should be correctable, undo-able, until you hit a final "OK" button. It would be nice to have the option to list and confirm changes too. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a small graphic of the defense with ratings and colours so you can see easily when you've got someone in the wrong spot.
