Last I checked, the game considers the 80's the same as our current decade, thus making it a part of the same modern settings. Therefore my point being by those parameters the game is not broken but is making a compromise between 80's, 90's, and 2000's relief useage. As I suggested previously, the game probably needs to cutoff the 80's-1999 and make a new era setting because other things like stolen bases have changed a lot as well. I agree the game needs some tweaking, but you must also agree it is not broken or there is some kind of bug at play.
