A quick question

Greymantle · 10-26-2021, 11:11 AM

I have noticed a lot of pitchers that were starters in real life but are only getting relief ratings/stamina. Is this normal with recalc off? For example, Phil Niekro is a reliever only in my league and I'm in 1970 now.

If not what settings are affecting this? I have PD on / Recalc off playing historical 1962 season and beyond.

Since you have recalc off, I recommend going to the historical menu and changing the setting for base pitcher stamina to Entire Career. I'm guessing(could be wrong) based on what you said you have it set at current season or 3 year. If you change it to entire career guys that pitched primarily as starters should do so in your game.

The import year is the cause and David points to the correct in-game tool to adjust for it.

If you look at 1962, Niekro was a reliever in Louisville with 98 IP and only one game started. I had a 1979 forward sim where Orel Hershiser was a RP and famous relievers of the 80s were SPs when I too didn't think to adjust the setting to entire career. I decided to let it roll assuming the players stuck to those roles in that reality...

I was wondering why so many players were not playing their correct position. I started over and I'm amazed at how many players play different positions as their main now. I'm also finding players fit better into a utility role now that were sorta worthless before. Thanks!
