this is not just about the bots. Guys, don't miss the whole point presented a few posts ago.

LCD has no reason to exist. User should be fully responsible for setting up the orders of his team. Coach already helps a lot in the other substitution options, LCD is too much.

Strictly follow Depth Chart = coach totally respects your Set up, making substitutions only when the backup/reserve will be more effective than the starter (maybe because the starter is tired or in foul trouble) and the coach will only use players in the positions you assigned for them (except in some cases where there is an injury or serious foul trouble). But you have ot remember to always send a complete depth chart (even if you have to repeat the name of a guy as his own backup or reserve).

Ok. And if you put LCD the coach decides for everything or only the players rotation? For example will he change all your defense system if he thinks it is necessary?

No, just the players he puts in.

To Raonne:
While not filling in all the slots in the DC was causing the coach to select players, Forrest said the real reason is because the SFDC was not strict enough. He increased it so the depth chart should be followed no matter how many slots are filled. (393.4) I agree with you know on the LCD issue. It should be that if you don't set a lineup, your chances of losing greatly increase, not the other way around.

Remove LCD! It contradicts what is stated in the rules:

"If you don't set your tactics, your team will likely lose most of your games, even against inferior teams. Choosing your tactics to optimize your team's performance requires careful thought; much of this ability comes from trying out varying strategies and different player combinations, analyzing the resulting box scores, and talking with more experienced users."

so a lot of people agree on it (pretty much all the dedicated players do, obviously). Now let's wait here to see what the BB's think about it.

This is certainly on our discussion list.

I should note, though, that LCD isn't "have the coach ignore your depth chart." Perhaps it's a bit of a misnomer. The coach will, in fact, take into account your depth chart, but he will use it as much more of a suggestion. That is, if he'd prefer to set X lineup, and you've entered lineup Y, he'll pick Y even if he thinks X is a bit better (but not if it's MUCH better to do X).

So, a user who sets a good depth chart will be more successful than a user who sets a bad one. From the forum posts, it seems we should make this difference a bit greater. We'll let you know if we come up with a decent solution.

I agree...what LCD does is take flawed depth charts and fixes it for you.
