As for the above case, I'm a bit surprised at the lineup that's getting suggested. If it were my game, I'd be opening it up in the debugger to figure out why the manager was doing that. I can tell you that if I'd seen a lineup case like that while testing, I would likely have gone in and done something to fix that  |
Yes, it does.
Now.
...but not when i hired him.
Your post prompted me to go in and look at his page again. I had not done so in a while. I think I now know what's going on. My manager prefers "defensive wizards and speedy, athletic players over slower players with more power." Ok, great, but my previous argument stands that Anderson is not a good enough hitter to ranked higher than Rubio on the depth chart, regardless. If the two players were closer in hitting talent it would make more sense, but the talent gap is too wide for speed alone to justify how they are being ranked.
That's something else I'd appreciate you guys looking into for v17. When you start a new game, all the managers' reputations are "unknown" and you can't tell anything about them from the stock descriptions. They all say the same thing. They might as well say nothing. You could, of course, cheat and jump into commish mode and "get under the hood", so to speak, but that doesn't feel right, you know? So you hire a guy and after a couple of seasons, seemingly overnight, their reputation becomes whatever it's going to be and that's when you find out that Mr. Walters doesn't like the GM to interfere, and he has seized total control of lineups and pitching staff, and oh by the way, he also prefers defensive wizards and speedy athletic players, blah, blah, blah. None of this was present in the beginning, it just popped up sometime between when I hired him and now.
