The for reals actual reason for the stopper role in OOTP came about because in 1871-1975 or so, with starting pitchers finishing way more games than they do now closers hardly ever pitched. The conditions closers are used in now happened far less often. As the closer was the best bullpen arm using him for only 20 to 30 innings a year seemed a bit silly. Stoppers are closers with looser reigns, they come in earlier and pitch longer. Save conditions are ignored.

The closer is the stopper AND the stopper is the closer. Maybe if they were twins the same guy could be both but probably not.

They are designed to be so but implementation is faulty. It is a bug.

Why do I want both available? Because I play in mostly online leagues and not everyone likes the stopper role so if both are available then each can play their way. I guess my question in return would be; Why not have both available? Does it break something? Under certain circumstances they are already both available, why not have them both available all the time? Last edited by byzeil; 01-06-2017 at 02:57 PM. |

I don't know how you do things in online leagues, but isn't there a way to designate whether your best reliever (call him what you will) comes into the game in a "high leverage" situation, whether or not it's a save situation? In other words, can't you use the guy that the game calls your "closer" more like a stopper, and vice versa? |

The stopper role being dependent on the closer usage setting is ridiculous. If I want to run a 1970s-style bullpen in the modern day, I should have the ability to do so.
