What is this feature? Defensive auto- alignment.

I've done them all. I've even done as manager, but with the real MLB transactions put on. Do that on a team with a lot of turnover...can be maddening!

I GM and set the line ups and rotation but don't make any in game decisions.

I think he means this, but i could be wrong. I've always let the AI handle my defense.

Not in my opinion. If anything i am at a disadvantage. I try to run too often, sac bunt, stretch a single into a double just to get thrown out, thrown out at the lead base. Also seems my teams hit fewer HR when i manage out games. I had a power hitter with a 10 (1-10) rating have 12 HR going into the ASG. i simmed the rest of July and he was at 30. I simmed most of August and he was at 50. I played out September and he hit 6 more. Maybe in the end he would have hit 56, but he was a modified player who i think should have hit 80.

It's definitely helped me, whether it's aggressive bullpen use, pinch hitting/running, or double switches (even in the AL). Sometimes I wonder what the AI is thinking with game management. |

Straight-up AI defensive control has been there for a long time, but there is a new(ish?) option a bit further down I think, that allows you to have the AI set the positioning while still giving you the option to adjust it if you wish. It is a pretty awesome feature, as managing positioning can be pretty tedious, and the AI will do what I want a lot of the time, but it was always frustrating when it did not and my team paid the price for it.

I think that is true for me now. Once upon a time that seemed not to be true, and my teams tended to perform worse while I managed every game. There are times where its a disadvantage still, typically if I'm playing while tired or otherwise distracted and do things like let me tired reliever have an at bat because I'm pressing '1' too quickly.

Where's the neither option?

I usually also virtually play as owner by going into commissioner mode and changing anything I like about budget or any other owner settings. Of course, only in solo leagues against the computer.

I have come to realize the game is more fun as a manager if you slow down, do a game a day, sometimes a couple, let the last game you managed play out in your mind a bit and analyze what worked and did not, then think through your strategy a bit before playing out the next game. Of course, to my original point, then you are likely going to have a real advantage over the AI and I’m not sure that is as fun long-term. As a solution, maybe take on a lesser team and that will even it out a little. |
