SIM COMPLETE - 1988 - Regular Season 10

EDIT: Although he is a SP in the HTML... so I wonder if when I "asked manager for staff" he changed his position. Although I wouldn't think that would happen.

That's exactly when it happened. When you ask the manager for staff they will change the roles as well.

[Carlos]

Yep. Starters have changed into closers for me because of ask manager.

[Jake]

Do players take a morale hit if you change their positions back and forth?

I switched him back to SP and just want to be sure it's not going to "confuse" him to go from SP>MR>SP in a day.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

At the minor league level, I don't think so. Players dont really have a specified role (starter/bullpen) that they want to play, so I think they're just happy to be there.

[Carlos]

Yea, I haven't noticed guys realize that you're changing their position manually.

It's about playing time. A guy will know he's relieving instead of starting because of his work load. For example, simply making a reliever into a SP and then having him relieve isn't going to make him think he's a starter.

Well I represented the DL well

We took out those pretenders from the Porter and swept California and took 2/3 from Philadelphia.

You can lock them into a specific role on the player strategy screen.

I never knew this, but tried it and noticed something awkward about it. Nothing you can't fix with a little manual overriding (I normally use ask manager as a suggestion for the minors).

When setting a player to lock in as a starter, Ask Manager will always place that player at the top of your rotation.

I'm sure many know by now that Ask Manager has a specific system. Best pitcher is always the ace and it goes down from there. Best reliever always becomes the closer and then the next two best become set-up men.

Just a heads up that locking a player into a starter will override that system.

I appreciate it.
