Substitution error

Post by KevTheMetsFan » Sun Jul 03, 2011 3:31 pm

Hello

I was scoring today's yankees vs mets game today and I have the 2011 MLB roster add on. However, during the eighth inning Willie Harris came in as a pitch hitter in the pitchers spot in the lineup. Since Harris came off the abbrevement list, I noticed he wasnt on the roster when I went to make the substitution. I hit miscellaneous and pressed "show starting lineup" and added Harris manually. The problem here is while Willie Harris came in as the number 9 spot, Jason Pridie was moved to the 10th spot in the lineup. I didn't know what to do at the moment so when the scorecard went to The 10th spot (when it should have went back up to the leadoff hitter I hit skip batter during the 10th spot.

My question is, now that the game is over, how can I go back and edit the lineup back to a 9 batter lineup as appose to a 10 batter lineup.

Note: When I went to the play by play screen the substitution was entered as: willie Harris replaces Jason Pridie (this is what I want) but then, it says Jason Pridie replaces Willie Harris. As if there was a double substitution. Howdo I erase the second substitution?

Thanks for the help and God bless

Normally, you sub in a pinch hitter by taping the batter icon amd making the substitution, since Willie was not in the team roster, you did the right thing by adding (creating him) in misc -> show starting line up. But at that point, after adding him to the starting line up, you needed to set him to batting = no, as he started on the bench. ..and exit back to the main scoring screen.Then in the scoreing screen,in the 8th, when Willie came to the plate, tap the batter icon amd sub him in as he now would be an available sub.

To correct this now, after the fact, go to pitch by pitch, game starts, edit starting line up..set the line up as it should be to start the game and set Willie to bat = no .now you should have the regular starting nine batting. Now in pitch by pitch , go to 8th inning when Willie should come to the plate, and tap the event and edit substitution, and make the batting sub.. Save and exit. Scorecard and stats should update to reflect.
