Updated the BZ late last evening as I ended up rushing (read that simming, which I rarely do in solo play) the season through to reach a logical breaking point, not unlike my own right now. In any event, here's a partial of the BZ rant. It'd be great if someone has the time to double check a test league with these settings just to see if you're seeing what I'm seeing. I can't conceive that this is an issue for just my league; it seems it would have to be systemic, but let me know if you take a look. It's become a bit irritating. Sorry, and thanks in advance. My settings are pic'd in the post above.

BZ Notes:
This one is starting to bug me, I'll be honest. I've taken to going to the minor league lineups and pitching staff pages, watching days go by to see what happens. Nothing does. Well, nothing visible. If a player gets injured, they sit there. They don't play, but remain in the lineup box, although they remain used. You have to check the box score to see what's being done.

If a player goes to the DL (which I have to put there, remember), the only way that player is coming off that DL, is if I once again take him off. Otherwise, the lineup slot just stays blank, the team plays somebody else, even though the minor league player is sitting in the DL area with time left None, injured time None.

If I truly want the kind of movement I expect to "see", and I'm still not convinced even then that it's the movement that is supposed to occur, this is what I have to do:

Every time I get a message with regard to a minor league player being injured, or ready to come off the DL, etc... which with the frequency I'm using is just about every day - I stop what I'm doing, go the Transaction Screen, select the Action button for Ask AI to Setup Complete Minor League System. I am pressing the darn button every day or every other day. Otherwise nothing is going to happen. Again, at least that I can see.

Players play, but slots in the lineup, staff, remain open. I'm starting to think I should just let it play out and at the end of the month press the button and let my teams act like the AI and do everything then. If I have these settings to delegate to the minor league managers, then why am I even dealing with ANYTHING?
