OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Horrible relief pitching league-wide

Darviathar · 06-15-2013, 08:23 PM

I've been working on replaying 1980's seasons, starting with 1983 and playing through 1987 in OOTP 13 with pretty accurate results. I moved my franchise to OOTP 14 in April and am now a little over half way through 1989. I am at wit's end with the horrible relief pitching around the league since I moved to OOTP. No lead seems to be safe for anyone, even with elite closers on the hill. Guys that historically had ERA's in the mid 2's are well into the high fours and fives across the board. I have gone in and increased reliever stamina several times in an attempt to keep relievers "fresh" so that they aren't always pitching tired, but it doesn't seem to help. Historically, 1988 and 1989 were two seasons in which pitching thrived, and offenses shouldn't be setting records. This reminds me of a version of OOTP that I played about a decade ago that saw the same thing happen. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to fix this?
