7-Day Lineups and Depth Charts

cavebutter · 04-21-2013, 04:40 PM

I thought this worked differently, but I may be mis-remembering. I seem to recall that when you set your lineups and depth charts with scheduled platoons (like start every 4th game or something), the 7-day lineups will autofill with those settings. It's not working that way. The standard lineup fills for every day.

Am I doing something wrong or just not remembering right? I know I can manually set those 7-day lineups, but it would be nice if my depth chart was followed.

there is an option in the 7 day lineup screen for "Allow Depth Chart" make sure it is set to yes.

Yes, I've done that and I still see the same lineup posted for 7 games in a row.

Well I'm out of ideas. :/

I don't believe the 7-day lineup page will autofill according to platooning schedules. I think the engine does that calculation (i.e., is it time to bring in the backup) only when each game actually starts (i.e., when it's time to hand in the lineup card to the umpire

). There may be a good reason why it has to work that way (perhaps to take into account other factors that might have occurred in the meantime).

My sense is that if you use 7-day lineups, don't bother with platooning in your depth chart. Do that platooning on the 7-day page, by manual entries. Otherwise, don't use 7-day lineups. Just my

I'm quite sure it does. Which explains why I don't allow any starting subs. I sub manually by inserting players as needed from week to week.

I'd rather have the auto-fill take account into the platoon schedule. My gripe is that my manager keeps on putting my cleanup hitter as leadoff during the sub days. If the 7 day fills out the starters according to my schedule, then I can edit the lineup order.
