subbing madness
Is it me, or do the AI managers sub for starters waayyy too much. It seems to me when you have players at the same position that may be close in ability, the AI will just sub all the time, and switch positions around, along with the batting order. I realize this happens sometimes, but the frequency OOTP does it seems a bit over the top to me.

Change the AI manager thresholds.
This was a confusing response. Please ignore

Do you mean how often the computer subs for players e.g....every 3rd game or whatever? If so, the only problem with that is the AI controlled teams do the same. (I am letting my manager control depth charts, while I control the batting lineup. So I will in a way determine the starters by inserting them into the lineup...and then generate a depth chart)

I believe they are referring to this screen which controls just your team:
Attachment 316129 You also have league-wide control here: Attachment 316130

I see what you mean...
I guess those setting that I pointed only control in-game. You are tlaking about pregame line-ups. I'm not sure I have seen any settings to control that. For sure this is a weakness, albiet minor, of the game. Kinda major though especially when you see a slow running low OBP C leading off.

Oh...
Like most of us I guess you are using "sabermetrics" as the preference when selecting line-ups. Have you tried Traditional with any degree of improved performance?

I doubt it would make much difference anyway.

This is why I stopped simming more than 1 game at a time a long time ago.
I click play game then set the line-ups in-game and then I click sim game. It's a one day at a time process for me until AI depth chart management is improved. In any event, I have found out that I really prefer to sim one at a time anyway. More immersive for me that way.

I do the same HP...and I do it in 5x real time. I watch the games from the game cast screen...that's why I'm really hoping that's improved for v15 also. The only problem is the AI teams are subject to the same horrible depth chart management.

This behavior is definitely built into the AI programming. Whether it is a feature or a problem is a matter of taste. I assume that the intention is to ensure that good players get a reasonable number of ABs during the season. Among other things, this improves the AI's ability to judge the value of players, which it can't do very well without good stat levels (unless you are playing with the AI to evaluate on ratings only).
Since the players involved tend to be close in ability, I doubt that this behavior has a significant adverse impact on how well AI teams do during a season. But it would be difficult to test that, I think. |

I think some of this stuff, altho irritating to look at, may be helping the AI to learn about the players in its own peculiar way. Or, at least, that's what I tell myself. |

AI trades can be a disaster to lineup stability. A certain team will trade for a great hitter/poor fielder and the result can be a cascade of 3-5 position changes in order to fit them into the lineup.
