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.

I've bought up this subject a number of times, including in version 2006, but since the game apparently is used mostly by simmers who aren't effected by this, it doesn't seem there is much interest in fixing this.
It seems people who actually play the game don't matter.
I decided after buying and playing this version for a while that only 2 things would cause me to purchase any future versions, since this one has everything I ever wanted in a game, plus a few things I never thought about that are nice.
1: Something new is added that is totally impossible to resist, which doesn't include cosmetic things like sound or graphics, or
2: Some of the irritating issues, such as the one mentioned in this thread, are fixed.
