The way it works is this:
on the last tab above the depth charts page, where it says Vs. LHP, Vs RHP...etc....Go to the last tab that says "Seven Day Lineup." All options in above right, set to "no."
Now, if your playing out all of your games, you want these options to be "no." Also, if you have a back-up catcher, make sure it says "if starter tired" in the sub section. Make it say "if starter tired" for vs LH, vs RHP, vs LHP+DH, vs RHP+DH.
Back on the seven day lineups: Before you play out a game, make sure you hit "Paste LU vs (whatever)" under the date that you are about to play.
Of course, if you like to set your own LU, I highly suggest you do so yourself. The only use for the Depth Chart, in this case, is for organizational purposes.
Instead of going through the entire list of players, trying to fit them in the lineup without using the depth chart, can get a bit confusing. If you sort the players by position...first the Catchers, then you have only two players to look at (on most teams). So now you can decide which player you want to be the starter. Do the same thing for 1B, 2B etc...
Drop the starter in the depth chart everytime you choose whichever player you want to be your main starter. By the time you do this, everything else should be blank, except the "depth starter" spots. Once you do this, you should then choose your secondary...bench...players, and set the conditions for them to start any given game. Then do the same for any tertiary players.
Once the Depth Chart is set, makes it much easier to set your lineup, because now you have all players' names filtered in green. So for the number one spot, if you want your speediest guy, with high OBP, just simply click OBP, look at which green player is the number one in OBP, then sort by clicking Speed, and see which player is the fastest. You may narrow it down to 2 different players out of the 8 (or 9) players in green
Do the same thing for whatever categories you want to use for each position in the lineup.
If someone gets tired, you can either let the AI handle the subsitution, if you have "start if tired" option used, or you can simply do it yourself. Either way, you still should "paste LU vs. (whatever)" in your seven-day lineup every single day.
Not sure how most simmers handle it, whether they just sim every 7 days, and just set-up the seven-day lineups at the beginning of every week, or just put "YES for starting subs" option and sim for longer periods of time.
If you do not understand my post, then please kindly state something more specific that can be answered in an easier/clearer manner.
