Player lock

[Hayman19]

I think being able to lock onto more than one player would be a great idea. Just make it like already mentioned where you choose 1 player to field, and up to 5 or so batters.

I really like the player lock feature, it allows me to have an impact on a game and get through one in about 5 mins, which is great. Usually I will lock onto someone who is in a slump and try to get them out of it. Between the player lock and quick counts, I am going to be a part of games I would have otherwise simmed during my franchise. I love doing multiple years and the 162 game season is just too much to play every game.

This would be a great idea, and the more freedom we have on how we play the game, the better.

I agree, hopefully that is implemented for next year.

So you basically want to play the entire game but only hit with 3 of 9 guys? Why don't you just sim for the batters you don't want to use? Isn't that possible or am I just confused.....

Don't get me wrong, I would like to lock on to more than one guy and I was just thinking about that last night, just trying to possibly help you get where you want to go with a work-around.

I've been using PL more and more recently. I'm having a lot of fun playing with Giancarlo Stanton..no other Marlin with worthy unless Jose Fernandez is pitching on that particular day.

That is what I did last year, but sometimes you missed the at bats of the guys you wanted to use, a lot of times actually. It would be much better for it to just fast forward to their at bat and stop there.

It's much better than RTTS in my opinion. The point is you can play the same as RTTS but with all the control of franchise. It's the best of both worlds.
