I need lineup help

[Ragesmith]

I'm still learning the game, but liking so far. At this time I need some help with a lineup problem.

Scenario:

I coaching a minor league team. I use the lineup tab to setup my lineups and depth charts. I choose to play the game (vs simming), but the lineups posted on the game screen ARE NOT what I have set for my team. What am I missing or what am I doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. A few things that you might try:

1) Make sure that you are setting the correct lineups. For example, if your league uses a DH and you are facing a right handed pitcher, then make sure that you set the corresponding lineup.

2) If you use depth charts and your depth chart calls for certain players to play every 2nd game, then the computer might very well be making the substitutions. So check that as well.

3) Make sure that under the settings on your manager page, you have it set for you to make the lineups and not the CPU.

Hope these help. Maybe others have additional suggestions!

one more thing if a player is tired he will be auto subbed, even if he is 98%, you can click on your starter to see if he is tired

Also in these two scenarios, the AI will jumble the lineup on the day of the game to what it thinks is the best lineup with the substituted players. It won't just plug the backup catcher into the starter's spot in the lineup. It makes it look a lot messier than it really is.

Hope you are enjoying the game

Thanks for the advice guys. I think the problem was having is the depth chart and the start every 3rd game or 5th game was causing me some real headaches. I think I have it figured out now..... and I am enjoying the game so far.
