Yep. It is set to use the 7 day lineups. I guess I just have to be more hands-on than I have been in the past. I have been enjoying being the GM, and playing seasons more quickly. But, I thought I would try to address some of the oddities that occur when playing a week at a time.

I wonder why Markus is opposed to something that would make the game more realistic? Perhaps, he thinks it would give humans too great an advantage, assuming he cannot implement similar behavior in the AI. (The game is so good, it is hard to imagine that this is the case, though.)

Thanks for your response. In the interim, I have started being more hands-on, setting the lineup every day, checking games started, number of ABs, etc. Maybe this will be a more fun way to play, though slower and more cumbersome. I have to go back and forth between the 7 day screen and the RHP line up screen to remember who plays on what day. It is also hard to remember which day it is in the sequence.

Still, very happy. Preordered OOTP 12 for myself and as a gift for a friend.
