Auto Demotions/Promotions

Mike Lowe · 07-24-2006, 10:59 AM

I know I can check this or uncheck it but is there a way to have the AI handle the minor league promotions/demotions and let me handle the MLB promostions/demotions? I really would rather let the CPU do this but I do not want them messing with my MLB club.

Thanks.

No.

You can manually select the option to have the AI organize your minor league system, but it won't do it regularly, just when you tell it to.

There still isn't a way to be a true general manager. We should be able to control all organizational movement without having to worry about minor league day-to-day lineups and pitching staffs. How hard would it have been to make this possible?

yes there is -- just ask the manager for lineups -- and set minor league team management to minor league managers

I don't want to ask the manager for lineups. I want them to do it automatically.

You can already do that...

Well, sort of. There's still the problem with minor league FAs being signed--the annoying MR signing 'bug'--which causes the AI to mess with your minor league teams. If that could just get fixed, you'd be set.

Plus, from what I understand in the manual, minor league management includes signing minor league free agents and promotions/demotions.

Maybe next year, eh?

I don't know what the manual says, but the AI doesn't sign minor league FAs or make demotions/promotions any other time then the couple months after the draft when it signs a silly amount of MRs. At least for me.

It's gotten better--teams don't fill their lower minors with like 60 MRs anymore--but still a bit of a problem.

Or make it so the user can assign more specific tasks to the AI.

I would like the AI to do most of the tedius things (like using my criteria to trim fat) but when I make a change, (promotion/demotion) Id like it to stay the way I put it.
