I'm begging you

Please do something with the reliever logic in this game. I have been talking about how ****ty it is for months. The value of relievers is non existent, the cpu doesn't value them at all. You cannot have a baseball game where bullpens have no value.

I used to just think it was a problem with the coding and the cpu just values starters over relievers always, which would lead to cpu teams choosing inferior starters for the bullpen as opposed to quality relievers.

I just tried to trade Kelvin Herrera of the royals who is one of the better relievers in baseball. I couldn't get a single one star prospect for him. And then I tried to see who in fact I could get for him.

Yes the Tigers would not trade me Tom Gorzelanny straight up for him .

Come on guys, maybe instead of adding sim to a date, we can actually make the player values realistic.

This is unacceptable.

Maybe it's just Kelvin Herrera?

Nope, here's Craig Kimbrel, the best closer in baseball.

That is a no when I offered the Cubs, who have Pedro strop as their closer.

Taylor Teagarden is a backup catcher who isn't even on the Cubs active roster.

That's 40 year old Jamey Wright. I think you get the idea.

We have tweaked the value of relievers a bit for the update.

Fantastic!

I love this game and the attention you guys pay to it, but if there is something I think can be better fixed I'm certainly going to make it known.

I'm glad my opinions at least receive consideration. I didn't expect I'd see any changes other than perhaps cosmetic ones, thanks for being open to more in depth, player valuation improvements.
