Since there are no injuries in Perfect Team, what do you use your extra spot for instead of a 3rd C? |

I've been playing with 26 since ootp 18 and universal DH as well.
Usually go for a super utility guy or smuggle a super young rule 5 draft pick. |

True. I always thought having the 40 man roster at the start of the season until May 1 would have made more sense. Never understood the end of season call ups either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That way round would actually make far more sense. Although the issue there is minor league seasons.

New MLB Rules
Is the 26 man roster going to be in the PT 21 game?
Is the pitch to 3 man rule going to be in the PT 21 and Main game 21? Can I fake a Pitcher illness/Injury in the game the way MLB teams will surely eventually do?---I know the answer will be no for this one-------------- Last edited by ThrownOutAtHome; 03-01-2020 at 09:14 PM. |

I'd go with Utility Infielder as my top choice. Someone who can handle a couple positions and give my starters the occasional rest. I do sorta like the 3rd Catcher option, particularly if he can do something else like 1B perhaps.

A 3rd catcher? He probably be beyond awful hitting. Better off starting a pitcher in the field lol

Probably the same reason the extra 15 players didn't carry through under the old rules.

My guess is that the three-batter rule will be a checkbox that you can turn off or one, given that the rule did not exist for the vast majority of MLB history and historical simulation is a big part of OOTP

3 Catchers makes some sense...
Teams are different. They decided to add an extra player for a total of 26.
The minimum is something like 2 catchers, 6 infielders roughly, 4 outfielders roughly & 11 pitchers. That is 23 players. I believe the last 2 and this season 3 spots are "wild cards" & depend on the team's make-up. A lot of times they might just fill the last 3 spots with the best 3 players or most useful restrictions considered. A third catcher might be pretty popular as it used to be many teams would carry 3; I guess it sort of became more popular to cut it to two catchers & an extra bullpen arm. But in a nutshell, the Tony LaRussas of the world etc. will probably do different things that make some sense with one extra player available for each game of the season. Are we introducing 15-day DL stints to Perfect Team? That's kind of funny that you can even write injuries out of the script.

I think it's been said before that injuries are no go because of the real money aspect of PT.
I mean, if you spend $100+ to buy enough PP to get a 100-rated historical in the auction house, and then he suffered an injury and you weren't able to use him, well...I know I'd be pissed off.

For sure I take an extra reliever. The way they use the bullpen anymore you need all the arms you could fit. Hardly no one completes games anymore. The bullpen is run by committee. Who's available, who's not, and go from there. Tired bullpen arms lead to injuries. So I absolutely take more pitching help. This is my opinion on real baseball. Now for a computer game does it really matter that much? Phillies new manager Joe Giradi has already mentioned that he doesn't like using a bullpen guy 3 days in a row. Is he hinting that he's going with an extra pitcher? We will see.

I've been 13 pitchers 12 bats in ootp since 18. Noticed if you simmed a lot often it could wreck your pen with 12 arms. Almost never happened with 13 arms

Exactly what I've seen as well. Most MLB teams carried 13 pitchers last year so what I've done in 20 anyway is expand to 26 and do 8 relievers and 13 position players. Seems to be working great and teams with a crappy pitching staff don't have their position players pitching games. |

IRL I think most teams will carry the extra reliever. As a Pirate fan, I know, it seems like they are leaning toward carrying the extra pitcher.
Personally I will probably carry an extra utility/pinch-hitter. If they can catch it would be a nice plus, but I will not make it imperative that they can catch. I might carry an extra reliever at times when facing a bunch of games in a row, or the bullpen is over worked, but for the most part I would rather carry an extra utility player. I have always felt that ever since teams quit carrying 15 man benches, and started carrying 13 man benches, that the bench is limited. Especially in the NL where you need pinch hitters. Now that can be rectified, even though IRL, it seems like most teams are still leaning toward the smaller bench and the extra reliever. Last edited by jeffw3000; 03-05-2020 at 12:32 PM. |

I don't think that the rule is going to make that big of a difference. The numbers I saw showed that it only happened about once every four games. I think the rule was more for show than for any real purpose.

The loogy was dead already I think it was something like under 10% of all loogys faced only 1 batter.
Mlb made a rule that will basically have no impact just to say hey fans we care. I can't see it having an impact cause all the stats for several years already had 1 batter pitchers dead. |
