Never have, never will. Sims just don't get this right, and I think there are too many variables involved to make it work correctly. The only move I made for the Dodgers was to acquire Nolasco from Miami for Lilly. I witnessed a total of 9 games involving the Dodgers (3 series) out of their 161 (I still haven't played Sunday's games). This my average for all 30 teams in my league. I witness 2 series a week involving 4 teams per week during the regular season. I have been playing this way since the days of Earl Weaver Baseball on the C-64. So, I had nothing to do with the save record being broken in my league. As I have stated, it just happened and I enjoyed the rarity of it, just like I would enjoy Starlin Castro breaking Ichiro's single season hit record in 2014, if that was to happen. The Show 13's bullpen AI consistently makes baseball sense. I found that OOTP's bullpen AI does not. That's why I stopped playing OOTP. To me, that is a gamebreaker.

Can you provide some more concrete examples of what you feel is both The Show's superior bullpen ai and OOTP's inferior bullpen ai.
I do think there are some issues with OOTP's bullpen ai, but your examples don't seem to indicate any superiority in The Show.
As for the Jansen season, it'd actually be better for your argument that it's ok if that was your team. Since you indicate that you didn't influence it in any way such an extreme outlier in your first season of play actually appears more indicative of poor design than it would if you'd controlled the Dodgers.
That coupled with the fact of the other guys over 50 means that your first season in The Show produced 3 of what would be the 10 single greatest save totals in a season ever
in one season.
That's a hugely unlikely outlier given MLB history, which leads me to suspect it's actually indicative of the fact that saves are accumulated far too frequently in The Show, which would be a major issue with the bullpen ai, if true.
