This is an issue that comes up every year. For next year, we can look to see if there's something that we can do to fix this. No promises, though, and there's a strong chance that anything we fix in this will cause new issues (at the very least, we're going to see a case where the AI doesn't realize that they need a new player, and end up using the last guy off their bench for some other case, which I'm sure will lead to a whole slew of new issues). |
How about letting injured players play? The AI could be told that it has to replace an injured player who needs to do something (bat, pitch or take the field on defense). Players would have to figure that out themselves. If they didn't, there could be a huge performance penalty.
