If it does that would be completely unrealistic v how current defensive position loading works in real life.

This looks like the same issue we've discussed for several versions now. In real life middle infielders primarily, then infielders in general do not change positions due to platooning. If an infielder is platooned he goes to the bench not a different position. I have to emphasize this. IRL we never see a starting SS split playing time between SS and 2B unless an injury occurs or a position switch is made (Starlin Castro). In OOTP this is a regular occurrence with 2B, SS and some OF (platooning as infielders) and 3B (platooning to 2B). It's not realistic.
