Deju, thanks for replying. If by the buttons on the top right you mean the inning situations of (early 1st-6th), late (7th & 8th), last (9th) and the scoring situations of close, closer and tied, I understand how to use those to fine tune, but it seems you can't fine tune for mop up situations, which you were able to do in prior versions. In your post you say the settings for ALL Time and All Scores override those special situations. Shouldn't it be the other way around? If that's not the case how would one go about unsetting the All Time All scores. Now if special situations override all times-all scores then RonCo may have helped me find my answer to addressing mop up situations. I could use the All Time, All scores as a mop up. And like RonCo said, If I understand the new system correctly, I too like the older system better which gave you more control over specific situations, such as separating being ahead by 1 to 3 runs or behind by 1 to 3 runs. The new system lumps them together. Also, I'm still befuddled by the defensive substitutions pulldown menu on the strategy page. I would like to see a leading by 1,2,3,4 runs "or more" situation. So for instance if leading by a run in the 7th I don't want to take out my big hitter for defensive purposes but if leading by 2 runs or more I would. As it is now it's all 2,3 or 4 runs "or less" situation. Then again, maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works. It would help if they updated the manual to reflect the current version.

Thanks for all your replies.
