AI Sim Mgr will not let stud pitcher pitch...

nyyanx23 · 12-08-2009, 11:00 PM

I am into my third season of fictitious league w\ fictitious players that I recently created. I had a need for a left hander out of the bullpen so I made a trade with the Philadelphia team for a young left hander. The problem is the AI manager for my human owned team will not use the guy it acts like he is not there. In games I play manually I can use him with no problems. I even put him in the starting rotation with "strict order" selected and the AI manager simply skips him...I have never observed this strange behavior before. I looked all through players file and see nothing unusual. He was used heavily with Philadelphia last year. Anybody have any ideas? I am not using 7 day lineups. This has killed some of the excitement that I had in my quest to build a championship team, hopefully someone can help.

Thanks, Robert

I also play solo fictional and most of the time play "strict order".
I could understand (to a degree) if out of the bullpen he was never used.
Espcially taking into account your possible "strategy" settings and the ability of the left-hander.
But I have never had any problems using "strict order".
(not that I have noticed).
Hope somebody can suggest something.

Looking closly at the editor I discovered that DtD injury effect was set at 25% although he had no injury listed or time on DL! He never showed up as injured during games or looking at the roster but the computer must have thought he was still injured...once I put that to 0 the sim mgr started using him.
