Ya know, I was pretty much going against all the same arguments in the thread in favor of a PH depth chart. Markus already explained once why he took it away. Apparently everyone up to this point seemed to have completely ignored that post.

But yeah, this would make the most sense. A little box to check inside the player profile strategy screen that says "don't use me to PH."

I also don't like the little comparison of a manager telling a bench coach he is in charge of PH someone brought up earlier. I don't like it, because for all those people who are clamoring for some kind of PH depth chart like of old, are acting more like GMs, instead of on-field managers. It's more like a GM not wanting to get involved in the game-to-game management of the team. That's the job of the manager.

If you're not going to play out your games, sorry to say, but you're going to be at the mercy of AI decisions for each and every game. Just like a GM is at the mercy of the manager's decisions in each and every game.
