HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINEUPS AFTER SPRING TRAINING!!!

[jkeefeholmes]

Re: I'm Confused... Please Help

Is there a way that I can control my team (Cubs) and be able to change the rosters after spring training for all teams so that their lineups and rotations arent messed up? I only want to set 40 man down to 25 players on the MLB roster before Spring ends, and I want to manually do the injuries... Is there a way I can do all that, but still have the other teams set their own lineup, rotation, trades, signings, etc., I just wanna be there to make sure everything goes smooth. Please help.

If I understand your question, yes. When you started your franchise you should have chosen the Cubs as your team and left the rest on CPU. Once in your franchise there are a wwhole gang of settings for aspects of GM, etc which you can set to manual (your) or auto (cpu will handle it) This includes being the manager, which allows you to set any line up, rotation you want, and also includes callups, sned downs and what not. Youhave total control over the franchise, even advertising etc. If I misunderstood, sorry about that!

Re: HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINEUPS AFTER SPRING TRAINING!!!

it is annoying, but it's a necessary evil. it's pretty easy to do just very time consuming. i just do 30-team roster control, and edit every lineup from AA and up so that big time prospects are starting and getting development in. i don't mind so much WHERE they bat in their lineups as long as they're in there. same with rotations.

for the major leagues though, i fix everyone's rosters to be perfectly aligned to how they are IRL. takes a few hours, but you get to know every team, every lineup, and learn more about the players and who's where after the offseason moves and such

Pretty much exactly what I do, too.

After ST, I just went to every team and made their lineups to how I think they should be. They may not be exactly how they are in real life, but they are realistic and I wouldn't think twice about the realism of the lineup when I face them. To save time, I just adjusted DH lineups for AL and No DH lineups for NL......when interleague play rolls around ill just go do the rest.

This sounds promising.

So all we need do is basically reduce the 40 man to 25 BEFORE even clicking to start a new franchise, save the rosters, and all will stick?

Do we simply move the 15 men we dont want in MLB down to AAA/AA and let the CPU deal with its lineups etc or do we need to set them as well?

This is actually doing my head in lol.

If you reduce the 40 man roster to just the 25 on the opening day roster you could potentially see issues in the offseason when you get to the rule 5 draft. I haven't tested it, but I would guess that there could be people available that normally wouldn't/shouldn't be.

Alright I am trying to follow everything here. I need to set my profile up for the team I want to be then set a profile up for the 29 other teams. (I want total control for my franchise) then before spring training ends I need to set each teams 25 man roster? Then once the season starts I need to set each line up?

Also, won't that cause major problems with injuries? If a CPU player gets injured, they won't be able to call someone up because they only have 25 on their 40 man roster. You have to be on the 40 man roster to be called up to the Majors, right?

Yes you have to be on 40 man roster and not an issue if player gets injured

Re: HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINEUPS AFTER SPRING TRAINING!!!

It's not something that can be patched.

The game doesn't know who Jason Werth is. It knows player #2396, who has such-and-such ratings, and puts it where it thinks he needs to be.

Hard-coding where a player should be batting would lead to more problems than it would be worth, especially in multi-year franchises.

That all may be true, but they should be able to patch the problem with lineups getting all screwed up even when they are set to Manual.

Even if you are only controlling one team (e.g., Phillies), and you have all your profile setting to Manual, once you leave ST, Rollins bats 6th, Werth 8th, etc. If the user isn't changing the lineups themselves, this should not happen.

So they should be able to patch the problem that Manual lineups is being overrided. That, and the fact that ball 4 in the dirt counts as an E2, should warrent a third patch, but that's wishful thinking.

Re: HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINEUPS AFTER SPRING TRAINING!!!

So if u have control of the teams and u get past spring training can't u just adjust rosters after if u find anything out of wack

Re: HUGE PROBLEM WITH LINEUPS AFTER SPRING TRAINING!!!

Guys I know this is not ideal, but my plan is to wait for v 2 rosters start a 30 team roster. Sign some players to realistic contracts and add extensions to players. I am going to then add all real injuries and fix MLB lineups....then save. I can then restart as many times as I would like.
A little more work I know, but the saying goes when given lemons make lemonade.
