All-Star Game has no rule for team representation?

[Living Lejuhnd]

I know in real life each team needs to be represented at the ASG. For some reason in my season this is not the case.

Did I miss a setting somewhere or is that just the way it goes?

Unlike real baseball, OOTP gets this right.

I wish there was a rule for roster spots...one that you could adjust, so I can just have normal 25-man rosters for my AS teams.

If it really matters that much to you, you can always manually choose your own All-Star rosters.

But I agree with David, OOTP gets it right.

I have mix feelings on this one hand I like that only those truly deserving should be there but again I suffered to many crappy San Diego seasons and the only reason I watched the all-star game all those years because we had at least one player present. But you can always pick the team yourself might a bit time consuming but better than nothing

Split the uprights - open up the Manual Voting for All-Stars module, ask the AI for suggestions so you don't have to select everybody yourself from scratch, and then add/remove players as you see fit. I think the default roster size when the AI selected was 28, but I've made it as large as 31 (haven't tried higher) and you could certainly cut it to 25 if you so desired.

OOTP - play it your way!

Only for those players to not actually see the field...

It's actually the other way around. This is one thing MLB has 100% right. It's an exhibition, and as such they have a duty to make sure all teams(and, by extension, all teams' fans) are properly involved. MLB is only wrong in trying to place real meaning on the line in an exhibition.

But yeah, like others have said, I would definitely recommend picking the teams yourself. You can make sure all teams are represented(or not, if you're misguided enough to believe that should not be the case) and make sure enough players are selected(should be 35, OOTP only selects 31; OOTP also doesn't replace injured players or pitchers who started on the Sunday before the game, and you can do both), plus if you're managing the game you can make sure there's a decent balance in positions so you can substitute for everybody later. And you can pick the teams the week before, like they do in real life. It also helps with immersion, it's really the best way to see what's going on around the league.

Usually they do...or, at least, they used to. With this asinine idea that World Series home field is in the line, and the game somehow supposedly counts, you see less of that. But the solution is getting rid of the home field rule, and letting more players get into the game, not getting rid of the every team rule.
