All Star Starters Don't Start?

Dodger1 · 08-04-2015, 07:12 PM

I'm in 2022, and just had the AS game, which I let the AI sim. Looking at the box score I noticed something strange. In the NL, the starters voted in at c and ss did not start. Instead, the catcher voted 2nd started, and the ss voted 3rd. In the AL. The 3rd baseman voted 2nd started, and in cf the starter was a guy voted 2nd in Right field! None of the voted starters were injured, nor were they used as dh. In fact, they all came into the game as subs at the positions they were voted into. I never noticed this before. Is this something that just happened in the latest update, or have you guys seen anything similar?

Seen it lots of times. Not just this update, not just this year.

Kinda makes the whole AS voting thing useless, no?

My guess is that the game is setting the rosters based on AS voting and then running the normal AI lineup process on that roster.

So, it's not really voting for starters, then, isit

Yup, seen this whenever I've had ASGs too. Surprised it hasn't been discussed more as a problem.
