If you wanna start a guy on something like, Monday at 2B, and Tuesday , and Friday at SS, and sit him the other 4 days I get it. But how many guys are being that meticulous with their lineups? I just don't see it.ajalves wrote:i honestly dont really see what the benefit of using the 7 day lineup is....other than maybe thats what your used to.

My big gripe is the manager completely obliterates your batting order when inserting subs. I know I can set to the depth chart to "only when tired" but then risk of injury gets greater. Auto-fill lineups , then place what subs you want in when. You can also pick and choose which pitcher your sub goes in against rather than a generic "5th game". If I have an option of resting a star versus Hays or Smith, I would like to rest him against Smith.shel311 wrote:Yup.ajalves wrote:7 day lineups are llllllaaaame!
I mean, you can definitely do things with them you can't do with regular lineups, but I would imagine 90, probably 99% of what guys are doing with 7 day lineups right now, they could also do with the regular lineup screen.
i wouldn't call that meticulous... but i do it like that.shel311 wrote:If you wanna start a guy on something like, Monday at 2B, and Tuesday , and Friday at SS, and sit him the other 4 days I get it.

uh oh!!!
Thats a reaaaal shame about the 10 day sim ...good lucky bud!
The lightbulb is that my team isn't very good, but the CPU lineups are sometimes absolutely ridiculous. Slowest guy on the team in the leadoff spot? Yeah, I don't necessarily trust the lineup AI all the time. What you are saying you do is exactly the same thing I do, however, when I go to my lineup screen and look at 7 day lineups, I post it in there. How does the 7 day lineup work versus you just not plugging in the 7 day lineup screen?ajalves wrote:i simply set a lneup vs RHP w/DH and one verse LHP w/DH
make sure you have back ups for each position (can be the same guy for multiple spots) then if you want your back up SS to play 2 times a week(ish) click the drop down box by his name and tell the manager/CPU to sub him in every 4 games (or however many)
or you can leave the drop down box set to : "whenever starter is tired"
in 11 full seasons ive never used a 7 day lineup. Not saying I'm doing it right or the best, but it seems to have a heck of a lot more restrictions/headaches
Sure the CPU will change the batting order around sometimes (usually only when multiple guys are getting off days), but i dont really care as its usually something decent.
I would also say that if the CPU is DRASTICALLY changing your lineups a lightbulb maybe should be going off.
Everyone does what they like....I'm obviously not a 7 day lineup guy though
If you're ONLY auto-filling the 7 day lineup screen, there is no point to using it. Maybe someone else can confirm that?cougnix wrote:How does the 7 day lineup work versus you just not plugging in the 7 day lineup screen?
