Depth chart being ignored in 19.7.56

CobaltJays · 07-03-2018, 08:48 PM

I've found a potentially significant issue with the latest patch. When I choose to manage a game, the starting lineup I'm presented with for my team is always the one for RHP/LHP I have set on the Lineups screen. It appears the AI no longer changes the starting lineup based on my depth chart.

For example, if the player I have listed in the Utility 1 slot on my depth chart is scheduled to start every second game, this is ignored. Even if the utility player is only scheduled to start when the starter is tired, it appears that this is also ignored and the fatigued starter will remain in the starting lineup.

I'm not sure if the depth chart is similarly ignored for AI teams when I manage a game.

It doesn't appear to be an issue when games are simulated. It seems the issue only arises when choosing to actually manage games.

Yes, we'll have a hotfix coming out for this and for a couple other things we caught soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

Was this fixed? Didn’t see it mentioned in the list of fixes.

It is fixed. But this does explain my confusion why my manager was trying to play exhausted players.
