Yadier Alvarez as DH?!?

vapodge · 11-30-2018, 01:37 PM

Just started a team and asked AI to set rosters and lineups. It made my future legend #1 SP my DH against both righties and lefties. There are plenty of better options on the bench. Is his card coded wrong?

So, just simulated the first game and Todd Frazier was used as the DH. Yet, when I go to my lineup screens, Alvarez is still listed as the DH and is at the top of all the position players. He's also listed on my pitching screen, too.
So, seems it's a cosmetic glitch only. But, it could make things hairy down the line when I want to tweak the lineups.
Using Origin Access, btw.

He's got some offense on his card, enough that the default AI setup has him set as a two way player. There is an issue with the AI not valuing his offense properly and is improperly setting him as the DH in that case. I would suggest either removing the two-way flag on him if you don't want him used at all as a potential PH, or if you do want that, then don't trust the default AI setup in this case (we'll fix it for another patch).
