CPU Pitching Rotations in Franchise

[therizing02]

I'm getting ready to play the Phillies in my Cub dynasty. Before the first game of the series, at the lineup screen I notice that Kendrick is next in the rotation for the Phillies and he's in the lineup.

The game starts and I'm facing Hamels. I also noticed that Hamels was 58% stamina in the pre game lineup screen. I know that the CPU management of rosters in this game has traditionally been a joke, but, what is anyone doing to fix this? I noticed the problem in the first series of the year against the Brewers when the CPU tried to throw Sheets twice in the same series. Ever since then, I've always started the most appropriate CPU pitcher.

During my Pirates franchise I noticed that when I was suppose to play the Phillie that they completely took Brett Meyers out of the rotation in favor of Casey Fossum who I'd sent to them for a minor league pitcher at the beginning of the year. I thought that was pretty unrealistic =(

When ever you access the pitching rotation menu, you don't even have to change your rotation, just checking it messes up the rotation for every team. I think it resets to the number 1 starter regardless of their stamina.

Sucks.

This actually happened at the lineup screen prior to starting the game. My last check of the Phillie lineup had Kyle Kendrick batting in the 9th spot and pitching. When Soriano stepped in the box he was facing Hamels.

I shut down the console and restarted, went through the same steps. I'm now facing Kendrick. Weird.

Oh, my bad. I get it now. That is strange. Hope it was a one time deal.

Re: CPU Pitching Rotations in Franchise

make sure you have the edit cpu team slider turned on...before every game, you should be able to hit left on the stick to be able to adjust their lineups and rotations.. i usually have to do this every other game or so to make sure they have the right pitchers playing.

I no what the problem is, when you are at looking at your batting line-up screen do not press "b" it will reset the pitcher. You can try it out, press "a" at the pitching screen then when the batting screen comes up press "b" and it willl reset.

its an easy fix.
