Lineups for simulated games?

[Troopershorty51]

I've had this issue for awhile now and have never found a fix for it. Is there a way to make the cpu keep my default lineups except for in cases where a player is fatigued? I notice that in simmed games the computer uses completely different lineups than I have set for my team. Sometimes even playing someone in a position they've never actually played. Is there a fix to this!?

Thanks!

Would also love to know how to do this...

Also, on a somewhat related note.. There are definitely some situations in this game where the CPU horrifically mismanages the lineup..

For example.. I have an SP in RTTS on the Braves and in our pitching lineup, for some strange reason, they pulled Stephen Strasburg out of the #2 SP spot and into the setup man's spot about 80% through the season if not more.. There was no rhyme or reason to it. The guy literally has a 1.88 ERA over 190 IP and he was demoted to MRP... How is this even possible by the AI's standards?

Use sportscast manager, then exit to fast forward to the end of the game.

That will work if I'm just simming a few games but often I'll draft a young team with fantasy draft and want to go through the first few seasons. It's not a huge deal since I am simming the entire season but I'd still like stats to be correct for those years. In my one, Adam Jones had like 200 fewer at-bats than my backup outfielders even though he was in every lineup and never got hurt.

That's what I do too.

What I'll do is go through the normal menus, set my lineup and go into the game. Once I get in, I'll press start and fast forward to end of game. It takes an extra 1 or 2 minutes, but at least you have the lineups you want in.
