change lineup before game starts

[jkeefeholmes]

One thing I have not been able to do, though I think you could in previous editions, is change the lineup just before the game starts.

You see the screen here that I mean. Am I right that the green is showing their fatigue? Pretty low given they have only played 3 games.

But in any event, is there no way to substitute in a starter on this screen. If you have to do it in the main Lineup page, that doesn't show how fatigued a player is getting, and the opp might start a pitcher you're not expecting.

Am I missing it, or is there some way to click for example on the Catcher Jaso, and start the other catcher, Norris? I know you can change postions within this lineup using square key, but how about replacing someone before the game starts?

Are those green lines showing stamina remaining? Seems pretty low! And who knows why Seth Smiths is so high, all of these guys have played all 3 games.

Thanks for any help.

If you scroll down past your last hitter then it will show all your bench players and all you gotta do is select one and then select the player you want him to replace. Hope that helps

You should be able to scroll down to your bench players after the 9 spot in your lineup...after you see the player you want to sub in, just select him and then select the other player you want out...then just fix your positions.

Hope it helps!

Chuckle, thats too easy. And might I add a big DUH. I guess I am not good at thinking outside the box. LOL

Thanks.

The reason why seth smith is so high is because he's the DH. As he's only hitting he doesnt fatigue so fast

Ah yes, of course. Hadn't thought of that.

Don't they seem to be fatiguing pretty fast for just 3 games played, in that screen print?

Doesn't seem to be any attribute you can increase to help it either. Pitchers have stamina, but position players do not. Only Durability which I think refers only to injury prone.

Thanks

Yeah it's been like that for a while now, I can understand it with maybe catchers but other position players definitely fatigue a but too fast.
