MLB #1 not happy because he is not starting, even though he's number 1 on the depth chart

Hey I've got a quick question. in MFN-48 my MLB Greg Dahl is unhappy because he didn't start a game all year. However, I have him listed as top on the depth chart, but the other MLBs are getting the starts instead. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening and how I can correct it? Thanks in advance.

On the bright side he's pretty old.

It seems odd that he wouldn't start any game, I could see if you came out in a formation without a MLB occasionally but all year is odd. Look at the first play of some of your games and see if there is a MLB on the field, and if there is maybe you have someone in your overrides? Another thought is that the MLB is on the kick coverage team and is fatigued from that play, but I would be surprised if that's fatiguing him enough to have him off the field on the first play (unless your fatigue settings are set too low)

Thanks. Will try your suggestions. The offseason just started so I guess I'll have a lot of time to figure it out lol.

What's your stamina set at....alot starters are not getting that stat. It looks like they do the kickoff and are subbed due to the threshold you set. The following play is when the defenders game started is tallied . If already tired then he's not on the field to get the stat, but will be back in next play . ....I am almost sure of it

Thanks. I just checked the stamina bar and it was accidentally set to all use the same threshold with a threshold of 20. I think that was probably it.
