Pitching Usage

bagman428 · 09-20-2017, 01:45 PM

I really do not like the way pitchers are used in the game. They seem to stay in too long. I know every era is different. I also know it's impossible for the computer to understand situational stuff like to bring a lefty in for a left handed batter. Anyone have any good fatigue settings that are realistic for starters and relievers? Are there any other settings I can adjust?

I had the same issue and still do but to a lesser extent.

I had to change my automated game strategy (how long starters stay in according to score) plus add a pitch count, plus add some guys in long relief.

It still isn't perfect though. There just aren't enough options under strategy. But real life games sometimes get out of hand real fast so perfect maybe is not a good sim?

I don't like that, unless I check the box to disallow starters to be used in relief, the computer uses good starters in relief on three days rest.

I wish I could keep it checked and it would do it just in an extreme scenario, but it seems to do it a lot, causing the pitcher to have to go on his next start at only like 75%
