Will this question ever get answered!?

How is the crowd?

So at least when we play the CPU their lineup will be 100% correct. I can live with that, I don't care if Derek Lee is batting lead off in a simmed CPU v CPU game.

You could do this the last couple years, so I'd be very surprised if it's gone this year.

Though it will affect his stats (i.e. less RBI's in leadoff spot). Oh well. Hopefully, the lineup AI has improved.

Def true but I'll settle for that over what we had last year.

That's not the point. Last year I would "force trades". Some of the guys I trade wound up in the minors, lineups got totally screwed up with clean up batters leading off, etc. That messes up those teams until you play them.

Okay, but what if AROD is? Doesn't that mess up the Yankees when their games get simmed? Your RBI leading off?

I would just like an answer before I buy it as I don't want to see the AI throwing guys into the minors that should be in the majors.

It does mess it up, but the stats in a season don't mean anything to me for CPU teams. Honestly, I could care less. MVP '05 had awful sim numbers, most seasons the league leader in HR would be in the mid-30's and a million guys hit over .300 but it didn't bother me.
