Just started playing with version 16, played with version 14 prior to that. They've changed the way the overall or team strategy features work, but they did not update their manual with the changes, It appears the manual still has instructions for older versions. I think I know how to use it but my question is did they omit some situations? Also, an all times and an all score setting does that override the other situations? With version 14, and I think 15, they had score situations where you were leading or trailing by 3 or 4 runs or more. In 16 they just have close situations, +-3 or +-1. So to be clear, did they omit mop up type situations? And lastly, the defensive substitutions pulldown menu options in the overall strategy page shows options of score situations in the 7th through the 9th of leading by 1 to 5 runs or less. Shouldn't there be a situation of leading by 1 to 5 runs or more? So for instance, if the team is leading by 3 runs or more in the 7th I'd like to see a defensive replacement, but if leading by 2 runs or less I wouldn't want to see a replacement. The way it looks now if I were to choose the option of leading by 3 runs or less in the 7th that I'm influencing the AI to make a defensive replacement even with a 1 run lead.

Any explanation would be appreciated.
