The problem is that a major league manager isn't going to have the ability to set the lineups and pitching staffs of the minor league affiliates, either. Yet in OOTP16, if I took on the role of major league manager as well, suddenly I would get that level of control. If the GM doesn't have control of minor league lineups and pitching staffs, no one should. That said, I don't think OOTP users (especially long-time ones) would be very happy if they lost the ability to set minor league lineups and pitching staffs altogether.

The decision to take minor league lineups and pitching staff roles out of the hands of GMs in OOTP16 just seems arbitrary to me, and I don't understand why it was done. Let the user decide.

As I have said in the past, the seemingly little things (little even in the estimation of the developer himself) can have an outsized effect on the enjoyment and immersion that this game provides.
Unfortunately a seemingly little issue of a greyed-out box is going to have a significant negative effect on my enjoyment of the game unless it's addressed.
