Force Role Not Working?

Hasn't worked for me all season, but just getting around to posting about it.

Long and short, want a guy to be used as a starting pitcher on a team I don't manage but the AI keeps putting him back in the pen. He's locked in as a starting pitcher in the FORCE ROLE field.

I am playing in GM mode.

Are you forcing two or more pitchers to be starters? The game doesn't know how to handle that and only one is forced to be a starter. I have no idea why.

I think the key is "a team I don't manage."

I've not had force role work on teams I'm not in control of. I don't think it's supposed to, frankly. It's more for if you're not managing a team, but you are the GM, and you want a player used a certain way.

Think Scott Hatteberg/Carlos Pena/Billy Beane/Art Howe/Moneyball...

The force role should be working, and it should work with multiple guys specified as starters too (that was fixed a couple patches ago).

The one point to keep in mind though is if you are playing as GM-only, if your manager has decided to take control of the strategy, then he will ignore your locked roles. Also, this will only work for a team that you are actually the GM of - simply acting as them they will ignore your recommendations. But the most likely case is that the coach has decided to take full control, and will simply ignore your requests.
