Need status on "Options & Preview" before managing games

jmknpk2 · 07-14-2012, 02:46 PM

I am playing a solo league and play out each game. When I manage a game, I am taken to the "Options & Preview" screen.

At this point, when I'm setting my lineup for a game, the most important piece of information for me is the player status. I need to know who is tired. Who has a day-to-day injury.

What I do is click on each player and observe their player status, then close their profile.

It would be so much easier if the player status were displayed in addition to the player stats. I could glance at the status of my entire lineup in couple seconds and save myself about five minutes of boring hassle.

I just checked. If I go to the "Team Lineup & Starting Pitcher" screen, the status information is displayed.

But the problem here is that the entire roster is displayed, not just those who are in the starting lineup.

I need to study the status on that screen and kind of sort out who is in the starting lineup and who is not. I can't see any easy way to sort or display only those in the lineup.

So, the needed solution I am requesting is display of player status on the "Options & Preview" screen.

Did you try the "Options and Preview". Shows starting lineup and SP however you have to switch between the two to see a player's status.

What I have started doing is to leave my lineup and depth chart pages empty.

When I start a game, I go to the "MyTeam Lineups & Starting Pitcher" screen, then customize the display to show "Status Information". This displays status information for each player. Because nobody is in the lineup yet, the color coding of player names can be used to quickly identify tired, suspended, or other players not suitable for the lineup. I can also glance at the status information and see everything I need to plan my lineup for the game.

This practice eliminates the need I mentioned in my original post.

I now think the game, without any changes, is capable of handling what I wanted!

Can somebody tell me why - when looking at the starting line-ups - on the Options and Preview screen - some stats on the right are in bold. I can't figure it out.
