OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - When playing out games, how does the game know if you're using an opener?

I don't really care much for openers, but in my offline game, my AI manager uses my #5 starter in a follower role so I decided to give the opener a shot while playing out a game.

The opener threw about 15 pitches, and his stamina was barely affected. The AI was treating him like an actual starter, not an opener. I didn't know if my follower would be treated like a starter, so I let the opener a little bit longer than I planned (3+ innings).

Then, I brought in my follower. As expected, the AI treated him like a reliever: he was totally gassed around 40 pitches.

When simming games, the follower is able to throw a starters' number of pitches. How do you let the AI know you're using an opener while playing out games?
