Swapping Defensive Positions w/ no Bench Players?

[RustyNailz7]

Is there a way you can swap defensive poistions when you have no players left on your bench?

I subbed in my last bench player as a pinch runner for my third baseman. When it came time for the bottom half of the inning, I was going to move that player to 1st base and swap my 1st baseman over to 3rd base but I couldn't because the 'defensive subsitition' was greyed out - due to having no players left on my bench. So I ended up having a normally left handed outfielder/1st baseman finishing the game at 3rd base.

Is there a way to still swap defensive positions when there are no guys left on your bench?

Can't do anything this year, but will be fixed for next year. It was brought up and answered here:

So even though I've known about it for at least the past two years, I just got burned on using up my bench and having guys out of position, because we STILL cannot swap defense positions once you use up the last bench player.
I got stuck with Pedroia catching & Saltalamachia in LF for 3 extra innings.

Has SCEA ever acknowledged this?

Such a seemingly 'simple' flaw to fix in a great game that deals nicely with a lot of other rules to follow.

I'll take a look...aaand fixed.

So this means it is now fixed going forward? You mean for The Show '14 I guess?

Yes and yes...unless it gets broken between now and then ;-)
