Closer use.. saves issue from 6.11 - Page 3

Jazzmosis · 01-20-2005, 07:23 PM

I tried something different, and it does seem to alleviate the problem a little bit. It's not a 6.03 fix, but it does help a bit.

I re-labelled my Closer as an MR, but kept him in the CL position. I then labelled my Setup (#2, but that doesn't seem to matter) as CL, but never changed their positions. Since then, My REAL Closer has 8 saves and the rest of my relief staff 4. I also put my closer on a 30 pitch-count so he can only pitch 2 innings max. Seems to work a little.

Try it and tell me if you guys notice any difference.

EDIT: By the way, I've won 27 games, so 12/27 is about average for saves. I've played 60 games so far in the season.

Was this issue only seen as of 6.11? Any issues with 6.10?

Thanks.

bumpity bump. i did notice that this issue took a few years to pop up in my fictional league once i switched to 6.11. i hope that's the case with my solo league, too, since i play out all the games and the new patch will undoubtedly be out by the time i finish another season. how quick did it take for y'all to see this issue crop up upon patching 6.10/6.11?

I noticed it immediately.

Here's what I've noticed...

On several teams, the saves were getting spread out between many of the MRs as well as the closer. So I watched that team closely - and the problem was that they were constantly shifting pitchers into different roles. They were trying a new guy at closer ever couple of weeks. Guys were shifting all between SP, MR, and CL. Although I like the fact that you can more easily shift pitcher roles in OOTP6 than in OOTP5, but the AI seems to not know how to handle this new ability.

Hopefully it can be tweaked so that the AI isn't so indecisive about its pitcher's roles.

Good news at least, Markus posted he has this on his to-do list for the 6.12 patch. Whenever he gets around to it. (this was as of a couple days ago i guess)

I'm sure the patch won't be til the end of the month at the earliest. (when he gets back to Germany).
