we need to be able to see our opponents lineup before online games...

No clue why this isn't already a thing. Cause In real life it's not like your opponents lineup is a secret..
All I really care about is the pitcher. Not being able to see their pitcher is ridiculous and can dramatically screw up your game.
For example I have Harper, Griffey, Ohtani, Seager who are all lefties and I start them every game. But if my opponent is starting a LHP, then I wont start all 4 of those guys cause my bench is really deep and I want to be able to play matchups later on in the game if I have to.
But since I cant see my opponents SP, I am forced to either start my lefty batters against a LHP and be at a disadvantage. Or I can put myself in a better position and once the game starts i can substitute in my right handed batters but then I lose those left handed hitters the rest of the game.....
It's absolutely stupid and makes zero sense to not show the pitcher.

I don't play online but that is really strange. I would have thought you definitely could.
On the other hand you can't even see the opposing lineup in single player games either (vs. cpu, conquest, etc.). Certainly not as crucial but I was surprised. -

It makes sense if you played DD several years ago when this was a thing. Lefty pitcher would see 8 righty hitters. Righty pitcher would see 8 lefty hitters. You need to be able to hit same handedness and I think this way is better than the old way.
-
It was like that back in the day but people would make all leftie lineups and back of of the game until they got a RHP.
If they brought it back and made it to wear you grt a loss for backing out there would still be problems. You could easily have 3 switch hitters and 5 lefties in your lineup with
5 righties on the bench to sub in against a left handed starter. -
Nope. Bad idea

I'm going to start a drinking game where you have to take a shot Everytime someone mentions this in a new thread.
Also one whenever there is a new thread about R2 holding.
Would probably drink myself to death.

Okay well you dont have enough roster spots to do that and it's not like you can back out and change your squad around?? Regardless.... baseball is literally a game of matchups.

There is a simple solution to this . Make it so we can set two lineups in our manage squad menu but we must use the same 26 player roster. Pre-game lineups don’t have to show us our opponents pitcher but it should show both of our lineups to ensure we don’t have the wrong squad loaded.
That way there are no back outs and you can’t load your lineup one way or the other but only within the limitations of your 26 man roster.
It’s a pretty simple solution and I question the intuitiveness of SDS to have not figured these things out yet.

In real life MLB teams can't just swap out players at will and have to build a balanced team. Sorry but not seeing the pitcher makes our teams and lineups more realistic, not less. Real life can't just stack the greatest 8 lefties of all time.

Thats the same problem tho. You can still have an all lefty or all rightie lineup with 26 players.

Against lefties SRSRRSRRPTheoretically yes but so what? You really think People are gonna take out Mike trout against righties?Or Sacrifice defense for one bat?It would be a problem but rarely. Good thing we have an extra arm in the pen or you could just bring in a new starter. I don’t think most of us would go that far. I just wanna decide where I load my lineup but would likely keep most guys out there regardless.

It wasn't rarely a problem when it was an actual thing, so I don't think it would be a rare problem this time either.

The problem then was people would back out until they got their desired match up.
And my solution has never been implemented so you are wrong and you seem to be convoluting the issue by ignoring my argument or misinterpreting it entirely.

You are using legends and the best of the best from current rosters. Using the argument about realism has no place in the convo. No team has access to all these goodies that we do. They are limited by their current roster. So your complaint is moot.
-
No you don't want that .... they used to do that a couple years ago and it would lead to full lefty or full righty lineups it wasn't cool
-
Here's an idea: learn how to hit lefty/lefty and righty/righty. I never hear these complaints coming from the people who can actually hit the ball in this game.
