I really do not use the allow starters in relief option when I play but I suspect that comes in to play when basically all of the other relievers are unavailable. It may be difficult to code the game to allow starters in relief for some high leverage situations. If not done properly you will have your staff ace making 35 relief appearances and missing many starts. There would need to be some very specific criteria met like the game needs to be in extra innings and it cannot be a SP who just pitched recently, and the game needs to be tied or something. I think working out the strategy for how this could work in the game may be difficult.
