Question about Gameplay..

b10wick · 10-23-2008, 01:23 AM

I'm playing every game out in Play by Play mode.. And it seems that starting pitchers are getting the wins/losses way too often.. Is there any way to decrease the amount of runs scored off of a starting pitcher, in general, and increase the damage done to relievers?

Don't know why, but the relievers have been dominant on every team, rarely blowing a lead.

Thanks for the help.

My guess is that you haven't played out enough games to really see statistically valid results. Play out a season, and then see what you think.

I agree with the above post. A couple of other points.

What type of league?
How many seasons have you played/simmed since creation?
What is your SP endurance set at in the league set up? Even at "normal", SP will go deep and as a result get a lot of decisions.
Do a sort on all the MR in the league. Do you see a lot of highly rated pitchers? Better than starters? In a young fictional league you get some disparities in ratings that may cause batting or pitching to be dominant.

Play more games or even seasons to see if things level out.
