The force start feature should be improved to apply to pitcher handedness. That way you can force a player against the platooning.
Not making excuses but Markus walks a fine line in the strategy side. I'd be posting a complaint if managers weren't platooning enough. The AI is set to find the optimum batting order without taking reality or baseball sense into consideration. That's why you see players playing different positions vs LHP and RHP. IRL this does not happen regularly except in Tampa and maybe one or two other teams. It's rare to see SS 2B platoons (except Tampa) in MLB.
That being said the sabre vs traditional setting isn't enough. We should be able to use a sliding scale from "always platoon" to "never platoon". I would be closer to never platoon but start specific players according to my logic.
