Problem with goalie starts

[Grapehead]

- Goalie A is coming off a season as the starting goalie, with impressive stats.
- Team starts the season 4-1-0
- Goalie A is 4-1-0 1.53 GAA and .931 SV%
- AI then starts Goalie B 11 games in a row (2-8-2 / 3.86 / .895)
- Send Goalie B to the AHL and call up goalie C
- AI starts Goalie C 3 games in a row (0-3-0 / 5.56 / .881)

I'm at my wits end here trying to get the AI to play Goalie A so I can sim without having to tweak something every game. 14 games in a row now he's been sitting. Goalie A played all last season as the starter over Goalie B and Goalie C and for some reason the AI refuses to start him now, even in back to back situations.

- I tried changing their major roles to starter/backup
- I tried changing manager settings
- I don't know much about the (H#) but Goalie A has been consistently marked as (H0)
- Goalie C (0-3-0 / 5.56 / .881) is listed as (H2) which shows me I really don't understand the (H#) system lol

Is there a setting I might be missing? Is the AI just not going to cooperate and I need to do something manually?

I'm guessing you're only GMing? Sometimes it's better to play both GM/HC and then let the AI do what you don't. But there's also the Goalie Settings Option (it's under LINES), but I can't remember off-hand if a GM only can use it.

Heat basically is a goalie getting on hot streak. It means they can also play above what their ranking is.

Oh ya, perhaps it's the coach that's the problem and not the AI itself. Thank you.
