Well RL world in the sense that you blow out your bullpen and their ERA suddenly balloons because your entire group has tired arms. Look at Colorado, never fails every year their staff burns out. You can certainly still use 3 starters but you might want 10 relievers just in case... I think it was a case of the engine just not properly representing what a bad thing it can be to have a burnt out bullpen and starters who can't go 5 innings.
If they just wanted to specifically nerf the 3 SP tactic they could change the min pitch count and/or change the AI so it won't hook a pitcher in the first few innings no matter the hook setting unless he's actually getting lit up. This change is more comprehensive in that it could affect any team that blows out their bullpen. After a 15 inning game..just like in the MLB you hope your starter can go long the next day...
