Hoping that this type of stuff gets addressed in the new 2008 version. Memory of UI settings, even simple stuff like sorts, would be a tremendous addition.

I posted about this same issue a couple months back, in the contract status report that shows up at year-end.

I was curious what might happen if you set 2 teams to "Human Owned", but the game only allows you to control the first one when you Manage a game.

<t> I've noticed that the CPU prefers to draft position players first, saving pitchers for the later rounds. After running a few sample fictional leagues, that appears to be a common pattern. It makes it easy to grab the pitching talent, but you do have to work harder to find prospects in the field ...

And one other point. If the starting pitcher leaves the game with a lead before completing 5 innings, and that lead is never relinquished by the relievers, then the official scorekeeper decides who among the relievers deserves credit for the win.

I think you need to clarify the scenario. First, there cannot be a double "due to an error". If the batter reached base entirely due to ...

I wonder if it locked him because he's a pitcher, and hasn't faced a batter yet. The program might need an adjustment to distinguish between a pitcher coming in as a pitcher vs. one coming in as a runner or batter.

Maybe "Auto Juggle Lineups" is turned on? Check Mgr/GM Tendencies screen for your team.

Not really a bug, but certainly a nuisance. When you have an active sort on the pitchers window, and then make a change to the pitching rotation, the pitcher sort reverts back to alphabetical. This happens on every type of rotation change - even switching the position of two relievers.

<t> After the season is over, a "Contract Status Report" page is available to ease the task of deciding which of your players should receive extensions. The players are grouped by the number of years remaining on their current contract. <br/>

Each player has a quick summary of their ...

<t> I'm into year #3 of a fictional league. I examined the CPU teams (11 other teams) and noticed that each of their A-ball teams have several scrub players. In my 1-10 rating system, these guys are rated 1/1/1/1/1 across the board. <br/>
<br/>
The CPU teams all have tons of cash to spend. None of ...

<t> I've noticed this too. I've been in the bidding on more than one free agent, eventually backed off, and then find that he went unsigned. I also have noticed toward the end of the free agency round that one or two teams will have the high standing offer on 10+ players each, and then they don't ...

<t> I started a fictional league in 1950, and I see pitchers getting beat up for 10+ runs all the time. I think for my league its related to the time period, and the game trying to minimize the use of relievers. I'm not sure this is realistic either. I would think that even in the 1950's, if a guy ...

However, I'm curious if you agree that 40 men on a big league bench is unrealistic as compared to how MLB teams operate?<br/>

Also, is there some easy way, either XML or database setting, to turn this off until it gets ...

<t> I've played a couple of seasons now on 1.66, and I'm concerned about the way the AI is using the new 40-man roster feature. Every computer managed team in my league filled its roster to the maximum 40 on the first day possible. What could they possibly plan on doing with all these players? If ...

Asked about that awhile back, but never got any attention from those in charge...
