The reason I stopped playing this game is because of the messed-up bullpen AI. That is the only reason I would ever give OOTP another shot--if the bullpen AI/integration is fixed. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the last weekend of my The Show 13 season in which Kenley Jansen of the Dodgers has broken the single season save record (has 63; but just blew one versus Rockies). No worry for the Dodgers. They have already clinched the NL West, but Rockies needed to win to stay alive in the NL Wildcard race. I am especially enjoying seeing the AI use September callups to offset bullpen fatigue, in all situations. As it should be. I admit I am probably a little anal when it comes to the way bullpens are used in any simulation. But during my 2013 season, I have no complaints about The Show's bullpen AI. And I play CPU v CPU, with 30 team control. I only move guys around in roles during hot/cold streaks. So I know that good bullpen AI is possible, as it has been for many simulations I have played in the past. I cannot and will not play a sim with this most important aspect of Major League Baseball broken. But I guess I am only one $39.99 talking, so who cares.
