SET ROSTER CONSIDERATION:

New for 2013: These options are instructions for the CPU when simming. If you play the games yourself, you basically don't need to touch these menus at all because it's how the CPU controls your starting lineup & rotation and when they will make changes. They are pretty complicated and again useless unless you sim.
