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

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.

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

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.
