I guess they have been playtested for a while now in the ATG games and have passed muster with that crowd, but I find them very cumbersome and counter-intuitive. You now seem to have to set the batting order first by locking players into an acceptable playing position (which is on a second page you have to click to get to), but there is no way on that page to see the player cards. Therefore, there’s no way to see what a player’s defensive rating is at a position you are trying to set them in! Before you could always click on the ‘show stats’ button so that the player card came up before you moved a player into the lineup in the 80s game.

Additionally, although the addition of the simulated game stats (on the batting order page) is welcome, if you want to change the batting order, again, you must go into the player position page where you can’t see the stats anymore. So being able to use the current player OBP or SLG at a glance (as you adjust the batting order) is lost. Perhaps I am doing something wrong???

I will admit a "bit" more combersome. But, nonetheless a HUGE improvement and well worth the effort! :D

i am not a smart man :?: but how do you set your batting order

You drag the players into the positions you want. There is not help, but the dragging works OK. I like the backups and it's an OK interface

thanks for the help
