Is this fixed for 14? I know they have expanded pitching roles, but w/o this changed I don't see a need to upgrade until 15
If you are controlling a team yes. If you are not I want to say no. For teams where I am only the GM, I use force start often, 7 day lineups and backup starts does not start.
Side Note: In your other thread you mentioned Lou Gehrig. I know you meant if you are not in control of a team but I tried setting a guys injury rating to 0 with no backup. He got injured in season 3 of overuse and was regularly tired. Lou gerhig has never played more then 3 seasons consecutive without suffering from an injury. His injury rating and Cal's for that matter is too high in my opinion.
