1 - Manage Farm system: Move players up and down between majors and minors. For Pre-season you can have up to 40 players in majors. Once regular season starts, max in majors is 26, max for total roster is 36.
2 - Edit strategy: Edit management strategy levels - not required, but an option
3 - Edit lineup and rotation: set up initially and alter as needed throughout the pre-season and season. The game is set to require 5 man starting pitching rotations. If #1 starter is rested, he will pitch before #5. This explanation tells best:Starting Rotation
List your starters in order of priority. The first available healthy pitcher based on this priority will start your next game.
Please note, if a starter gets knocked out of a game early, he could return to the mound faster than normal. The CPU will always put your highest ranked starter back on the mound as soon as possible.
- Also included in this section is "Player strategy". Not required, but can update.
4 - Pick slump busters - add eligible players if desired.
Once two lineups (vs R and vs L) are set, you don't have to change again. Same with pitching rotation (All starters usually require 4 days a rest, so 5-man rotation is recommended. The game will always choose the next rested player, based on your rotation. Note: If pitcher #1 is rested, and pitcher #4 was last to pick, it will skip pitcher #5. Reliever order not required. Also, players (maximum of about 5, can be picked up throughout the season). Just cannot be over the roster limits at any time. Teams with Babe Ruth (Kuna) and Shohei Ohtani (New Haven) are allowed to have 37, as the pitcher and batter count as two players. Ask me if you want to drop anyone or pick anyone up. Currently no trade deadline and major league rosters will be able to expand to 30 players, towards end of the season. Will be announced later. |
