Weird AHL Lineup

Has anyone noticed weird AHL lineups for their teams? The assistant coach seems to put the best players (based on the depth chart) on the 3rd and 4th lines. It will then have different lineups if you have them recreate lines the next day. It also doesn't seem to matter if I set use best players, prospects or balanced in manager options. Looking at the other teams in the AHL though it seems fine just mine is messed up. Its kind of annoying now that I have my 2 best prospects playing on the 3rd and 4th line and not being able to do anything about it

I just noticed this as well. Top prospects who in theory should be good enough to play on the top lines of the AHL are on the bottom lines.

I can't seem to change the AHL lines either even when I set it to my control in manager settings.

AHL is completely broken in this game and has been for the last few years. It's really annoying and never gets fixed.

If you can upload your save and give me a few specific examples, I'll take a look. But bear in mind a couple of things: the depth chart is arranged in an order that primarily takes into account the overall quality of the player, while the lineup AI is making decisions based on which players are the best fit for a line, taking many more factors into account. And the AHL tends to compound that effect, because the level of quality in the league is much more compressed on a top-to-bottom basis than most leagues, since the really good players get moved up. So the difference between #1 and #4 on the depth chart isn't as large as it would be in, say, the NHL, and that tends to create more situations where a guy who's lower on the chart may still be the best guy to play with the other two players on the first line.

Are there any plans for users to be able to control the AHL lines, or at least the player roles of AHL players? I believe this was an option in an earlier version of the game.

Should probably favor potential rating in minors

It does, but the default may not be enough. One of the things I'll be checking.

The AHL lines created by the AI seem to use a heavy influence on line balancing. (Ex. Point shooter, Grinder, Playmaker). Nothing you do will change this. The only thing you can do is just not dress the players the AI wants to put ahead of the players(prospects) you want to see play. Then auto line create. Unfortunately, you would have to do this before each and every game. Hopefully in the future we will be able to control the AHL team so prospects can be utilized better and the AHL team can play the same style as the NHL team (as they do in real life). I think one of the big deficiency of the game.
