are you sure? in the first post he stated that he had AAA and AA lineups as close as possible - how is that possible with 40 guys in the majors?

Knight?

...........................

The rosters are correct(when you see them on the front end) but when you go to Spring training the CPU puts a bunch of players up to the MLB so you can use them in ST games.

Whats the importance of doing the 25 man roster and then adding back the 15 players?

Do you have to do it to be correct with Real Life teams?

Rule 5, injuries (the callups), and all that jazz use the 40 man roster. You don't have to use the real 40 man rosters. You could set whatever 15 you want.

Well here is my situation and I want it to be correct.

I have gone to 3/30 and set all my injuries manual on the day they was actual injured in RL. I want the same rosters that the 40 man are for the RL teams. I want them to be authentic to RL. Do I need to call up the players that was called up to replace them on the 40 man?

Sorry Newb here.

Edgar Gonzalez on the free agent list can replace one of the duplicates of Leslie Anderson on the Rays.

When you enter Spring Training, the CPU will convert ALL players on your 40 man roster to the MLB level.
All 40-man players HAVE to be at the MLB level to be available for Spring Training.
Before you choose "Exit Spring Training/Enter regular season", you have to reassign which (15) players on the 40-man roster to send to AAA/AA, or else the CPU will do it for you.
Unfortunately, the CPU will not trim the team down to the 25-man roster that you had before entering Spring Training.
Instead it will use the game's logic to decide who to keep at the MLB level, as well as the rotation, pen, lineup, and bench.
That's just the way it is.

The easy way.. if you plan to skip Spring Training for year 1, just trim the 40-man down to 25 before entering Spring Training.
That way you go into it with 25/25 and not 25/40. Simulate through Spring Training. End Spring Training. Enter regular Season. NOW you go through and add those additional 15 players BACK to the 40-man roster.
Lineups, rotations, etc. should be just as they were on the original roster file (Assuming you had selected MANUAL for those decisions ahead of time).

Anyway... I actually have a question myself.
When simulating through Spring Training games with only 25 players and no 40-man invites then are you robbing those 15 guys of any kind of "progression" experience?
Any do you burn out your regulars by having them start and finish all those Spring Training games?
Obviously in real life it would be asinine you roll out your 25-man squad to Spring Training and play them full time.
But does the game's logic engine recognize this and "penalize" you for it in anyway?

so knight's work in getting lineups and rotations right for the minors is all for naught? or does it keep the lineups and rotations regardless of the extra guys being in the majors?

can't believe i never noticed this
