Franchise mode needs a "DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF" option

[Bobhead]

Like with injuries, in franchise mode...

I'm tired of having to redo my lineups (or pitching rotations) every time a starter gets hurt for 2 days. Sometimes "Auto" removes the player from all 4 lineups. Yet when I press "skip" instead, the player is still removed from all 4 lineups. Why can't we just get an option to prevent the game from making any changes behind my back?

There's also Spring Training, injuries to bench players, trades, etc...

It would be great if I could just tell the CPU to stay away. Let me handle my own stuff, please. I got this. Really.

Do it yourself. Turn everything to manual and when something like an injury hits opt to fix it yourself.

There is no such option. I have everything to manual, but the CPU still tinkers with your lineups when it thinks it needs to. Even if you pick the "do nothing" option, the player is still automatically dropped from all lineups, and the necessary adjustments made.

Interesting. Whenever I've had an injury, it removes the player from the lineup but it doesn't make any other change.

Just back out from that screen.
Don't hit the AUTO FIX or any of the options....then go into your lineups and remove the injured player before you go back to the schedule screen.

I think the problem you are having is that when a player gets hurt there is a hole in the lineup but you forget to put in a player to replace him, so the CPU does it for you and changes everything. You have to manually insert the replacement if you don't want the CPU messing up anything.

I don't understand how I would do that. I seem to only have two options: "Auto", which drops the player from the lineup, and "do nothing", which drops the player from the lineup.

But there shouldn't be a hole in the lineup. That's my point. The player should just stay in the lineup until I decide to replace him. Injured players play all the time. I dont get why the CPU has to pre-emptively make changes to my team.

If they are really injured then they can't play. There is really no way around this in this game. You just have to replace him or the CPU will do it for you.

Re: Franchise mode needs a "DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF" option

The players injury is bad enough to remove him from the line up. So you have the option of "do nothing" which is place him on the bench but not in the lineup or place on DL (your choice 15 or 60 day) or auto where the CPU does it for you. The player is injured. Change it to manual and dont have your players get hurt is the only other option not mentioned

That should be my decision to make...

Manual injuries. The guy has a torn labrum its not exactly a managers choice. the player is telling you he can play. Its a video game. They have no other way to tell you. He cant come to your office..you dont have one.

I mean if the player is truly incapacitated or something that's one thing, but this happens on every single injury. Even a simple sprain results in all 4 of my lineups being adjusted.

And what injury could there possibly be that lasts only 2-3 days but is serious enough that it can't be played through?

On top of all the spring training changes and the changes when I trade or release a player. It adds up and gets pretty frustrating in the long term.

Hell, I'm playing as the Brewers and I go to play a game and end up have Maldonado playing at first and yet when I double check all 4 of my lineups I don't even have him starting in any of them. Nobody was removed due to injury or anything, just happens on its own and whenever it wants apparently...

There are some it seems.

I was handing out some random manual injuries and one landed on my team. I thought "oh okay, just a few days, he'll play through it", but then the game refused to allow me to put him back in the lineups, saying that he couldn't play.

Unfortunately, the injury is cleared so I can't see which one it was - I just know it hit Ozuna for two days.
