Changing Pitchers Bug

pep_3000 · 05-28-2016, 11:49 PM

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but when I try to change pitchers twice in a row without the pitcher throwing a pitch the game won;t let me. I switched to a left hand reliever and the AI switched to a right handed batter and I tried to switch pitchers and it would not let me.

I just wanted to let you guys know, this is a great game!

In real life, a pitcher can't be subbed out until he has pitched to one batter or retired the side.

OOTP gets this rule correct (simplified a bit because of the way the substitution engine works) and properly blocked a second consecutive pitcher substitution in your case.

I could have sworn that I have seen pitchers switched in that situation. Guess not. It is one of the things I love about baseball, I have been watching for years and I still learn new stuff.
