Doesn't lock players. Have tired multiple seasons and multiple coaches, setting preferred players into positions seems to work sometimes with the NHL coach but have never had it successfully work with the AHL coach.
I'll spend some time in the coach conversation screen setting preferred players in position, then when returning to the lines and clicking 'Head Coach Preferred Lines' it is not reflected.
I've also noticed the lines will default back once I've manually set them.
Wasn't this one of the features of the game...
