What I have noticed is that the game works best in terms of pitcher performance and being able to win games with Relievers set to Normal for all seasons. The LTM will control IP/GS for SP's and if you look at the results at the end of any season you will see that SP's will always be throwing more IP/GS than they should be. If you set Relievers to less than Normal the computer will simply be throwing away wins because they let that SP stay in even longer only to lose the game, and if you go above normal then apparently the computer will make additional pitching moves that are unnecessary and not use the best RP's to finish games. I suggest looking at the Winning Percentages of the best pitchers when you change these settings.

As for Closers being set to Very Often, what this does is simply use the best RP as much as possible. So your relief ace will pitch more than the other relievers. As a note, if you set Relievers to Very Often and Closers to Very Often, the Closers will actually pitch less than if you set Relievers to the Normal setting.
