I've been thinking a lot today and think we'd be better off to just increase the sims to 10 days or so.
As mentioned before, I am just used to 7 days, don't necessarily use the 7 day lineups, although it is nice to have the option to do so. I am just thinking about what was said earlier about how long it will take us to generate a history.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to blast through a season, but at the same time I don't want to have to play a decade of real life time (lol) to have something solid to look back on.
It'll be fun when you can look back on your player's entire career or even an era of the league. Not to mention seeing guys that you drafted and groomed, make their way into the Hall of Fame.
There has got to be a middle point here where we can progress at a nice steady rate, using a 162 game schedule, without plowing through a season.

It's not difficult. Sorry for sounding like a dick, but I always thought 7-day lineups are a useless feature to me at least.
FWIW the 7 day lineups aren't meant to play a player once every 7 days... it is more to see the upcoming matchups, and start your players based on that. Lefty lefty match-ups etc. Giving certain players days off against weaker pitchers and whatnot.
At least that is how I have used them in the past.
