Changing the Pitcher's "Suggested Role"

Leefoo · 04-10-2014, 04:02 PM

Is there a way (other can setting a position to starter) to change that "Suggested Role"?

I thought by changing it within the editor would do it, but that is just like setting/changign a position outside of the editor?

I love to do historical replays and build from there and it seems too many Historical Starters are relievers. Bob Gibson was one I remember, but there has been many many more.

Thx

Force start in the set game strategy (player) menu.

You can also use the "Set position to" button at the bottom right of the player's profile so it will change his sheet to the position you want. FYI doing this alone will not change how he is used in the game. You do need to use "force start" as mentioned above.

See my post above on "Manufacturing Closers" if you'd like to see how I used this function.
