It is obvious to me that relief pitching is definitely an issue in this version. One thing I know is that the today's game is loaded with high velocity pitchers at the MLB, MILB, and NCAA levels. Strikeouts are higher than they have ever been. I see alot of pitchers with high potential stuff ratings but there actual ratings are 70-80 points or more below their potential. They never come close to reaching that potential. There is just too big of a gap to ever reach that potential. Today's MLB is loaded with relievers who strike out 1 or more per inning but I am not seeing this in the game. You can't tell me that someone who throws that hard as an amateur should have stuff ratings so low. Strikeouts in general are quite a bit lower than they have been in the past. This is the big issue I have with this years game. It is extremely hard to find quality relievers in this years game.
