Sure, players do dumb things. But some of these baserunning decisions - and their frequency - seem like real headscratchers. Hopefully this has been improved a bit in v14.
Absolutely. And if OOTP could implement some realistic playoff scheduling, that would add the realism by introducing the challenges & benefits of days off, extra rest days, etc.

I sometimes hate MLB playoff scheduling, with the massive off-days, and some series having more days off than others. But on the other hand, the rigidity of OOTP is annoying too. Obviously in real life, you don't have all 4 series start on the first day, and all have a day off at the same time.
I would certainly like a setting to ease my starters down the stretch. Generally once September hits, I pay a lot closer attention to my pitching staff, adjust in and out players as needed. And usually the last weekend, I just fully remove my top 1-2 starters from the starting staff and force someone else to start. But it would be nice to do that automatically.
