Set "Never Use Tired Player as Pinch Hitter" as Default

Timofmars · 03-07-2018, 02:07 AM

The option in the player strategy to never use a player as a pinch hitter if tired should by turned on by default. If a player is tired but on the bench, that means they have already played many games in a row and are probably on the bench for a good reason, which is to rest! I doubt many people would ever want to bring a regular player into the game for maybe 1 AB at the cost of delaying his next start by an additional game.

I shouldn't have to go through all the players in my organization manually to check this box.

On a related note, it would be nice to be able to change multiple or all player's strategy settings at once. For example, maybe I can select multiple players and drag them to the strategy section (in the strategy settings page) and then anything I change would be applied to all the player I had selected. Ideally, the things I didn't adjust wouldn't change. There could also be a button or something that lets me apply the settings to all of the players in the team or the organization.

Using a tired player as a pinch-hitter shouldn't affect his recovery unless he is left in the game to field

If that's true, is the AI smart enough to replace the player before he goes out into the field?

Generally, yes.

i think it just pauses recovery, eh? no gain/loss like for a DH?

if it works like the DH as far as fatigue recovery, then it should only be default for a catcher. no other position needs this checkbox 99% of the time.

it should be default for the catcher, no question about that. i think other position take too long to approach exhausted that you'd rather have their bat available and that's a net positive 99% of the time for other positions.
