Player Team strategy settings not working correctly

[shakturi101]

It looks like there is some issue with the overall strategy while playing with defensive strategy set to AI, which is clearly seen with shifts.

In my league settings, I set shifts to very often (the modern standard), and tried to manually set shifts higher (using the sabermetric standard) and/or hire a bench coach with frequent shifting. In both cases, the player team would never do a shift, while the opponent AI would do shifts very often (as expected with the modern standard league settings), while I would expect to shift heavily as well.

Is there anyone why this could be or is it a bug?

Is this when playing out a game? If so, you likely need to make sure the "have AI set initial defense" option is selected. That will set up the basic shift if your strategy settings want that, and you can Override after if you wish.

Ok, yes. That worked now, thank you.
