Changing positions
How do you go about teaching a player a new position? When is the best time to have them learn it? And, can any player learn any position?
Thanks for the info. |

I believe Spring Training and the minors are the best times to teach players new positions.
Look at the fielding ratings and you should get a decent idea at which positions a player would be able to learn. |

Thanks, when you want to have him learn the position do you just "set position" to the new one or is there another tab?

Don't count on any player, unless he is outstanding defensively, to learn a new position in ST. Even if you were to start them in every game the substitution pattern will have them playing 4-6 innings max. Depending on how the game turns out, that could mean 2-3 GB per game. Not enough chances to improve. I change positions in the minors and force start. You have to live with the errors.

Thanks for the info, I used the force start button. Is the "set position to" tab pretty much useless, or does it cause the computer to play a guy there if he's able to?

As far as game management (substitution or lineup changes) goes, I don't think it matters. The AI will play any player who meets whatever internal criteria (usually offense) it has, at any position. Even if the player has no or very low ratings.

Ahh so that's why sometimes when I put a guy in the lineup it automatically puts a position next to his name and sometimes not. Very helpful, thanks again.
