Setting lineups

yanko · 09-30-2015, 01:00 AM

Just recently starting playing and love the game. However, I'm pulling my hair out trying to keep my lineup set. It seems there are so many things that can reset the lineups after it has been configured.

For example, playing as the 2015 Yankees as GM/Manager/Commissioner I set all of my LHP/RHP lineups including utility backups for each position. When Brett Gardner, my starting leftfielder/utility 1 centerfielder gets injuried it automatically removes a bunch of my other utility backups from the lineups (ex. ARod gets removed as utility 1 third basemen). I don't get why this keeps happening. I had my injuries set to high and reduced it to normal just so I didn't have to spend most of my game time redoing these lineups. Is there any way to prevent this sort of thing?

Also, is there a way to set the utility backup batting orders when they start? It seems they get inserted in the same slot as the regular starter which isn't ideal. Thanks in advance

Go to your Managers Office, click on the "Control and Auto-Play settings tab.

Make sure you are in control of setting line-ups, rotation and anything else you want to control.

Yeah I found that earlier and it helped keep the starting lineups intact, but I still lose some of my backup selections whenever a starter goes down. Instead of just the injured player getting removed from the lineup it clears out some of my backups to positions not even affected (like the example I gave). Same thing seems to happen with my pinch hitter/ pinch runner selections.

Are you in complete control or have you delegated to the AI?
