Resting players in one game playoff
I was just looking at the boxscore from a wild card play in game in my league and noticed that one team sat a player that had 36 HR and 125 RBI on the season. It was an NL game so DH wasn't a factor. Looking at his card, he didn't have an injury and is now at 100% rest. Even if he was a little tired at the time (he's not a catcher), he should have been in that game.
Is the wild card play in game considered a regular season game? That's the only reason I can come up with is that the AI considers it regular season and maybe it was his turn to rest. Hopefully this (and getting pitching rotations properly set up for the playoffs) will be addressed in 15 |

A one-game playoff would be considered part of the regular season. So this seems like questionable AI.

solution:
I personally always reset fatigue on the last day of the season before I advance day to the playoffs. I submit that OOTP should reset fatigue automatically and use primary line-ups on the the 1st playoff game of the playoffs.

I would not want OOTP to reset fatigue for me. Unless you are in a one game playoff, as the OP was, you should have a day off before the first game of your playoff series. This dayoff will take care of position player fatigue but will leave pitchers with some fatigue, as it should. If I have to win on the last day of the season or go home so throw my best SP or go through my bullpen's best or even dip into my starting rotation to get that "must" win I shouldn't be starting my playoff series with a fresh staff. As to the original post, yes I think though a one game playoff is part of the regular season, OOTP should recognize that the one game playoff is a unique "regular" season game and act accordingly. |

With this being the first year IRL that MLB used the wildcard one game play in and since my Cubs were not ever in the playoff picture I can't remember, was there a dayoff before the wildcard game? |

I'm pretty sure Texas and Tampa Bay played a game 163 to see who would get into the 1 game wildcard though, correct? That would be the reason for the no off day. I'm pretty sure MLB has to schedule an off day in between the "final" day of the regular season (game 162 day) and the 1 game wild card playoff specifically for potential game 163's.

Please DO NOT reset fatigue before the play-offs by default. That just makes no sense.

As it turned out, Texas and Tampa played the tiebreaker game for a wild card spot on Sept. 30, then there was a off day, followed by Tampa playing Cleveland on Oct. 2. The fear was a 3-way tie for the second wild-card spot that could require a team to play three games in three days in three different cities. Or a division tie that didn't guarantee the second-place team a wild card spot could've created a lot of chaos. I believe there's a little more time between the end of the regular season and the first wild card game this year, but I could be wrong. |

It seems to me that OOTP needs a "must-win game" AI setting that would kick in for these type of situations (game 7 of the World Series, game 163 etc) when you must have your best players playing and not resting, even if they're tired.

It's possible that playoff byes were added last minute to OOTP13 due to the introduction of the wild card game, but one-game series have been a part of OOTP for years. The game shouldn't be resting ANY starters in the deciding game of a playoff series, even if it's a 1-game series.
Since none of you seem to remember the results of the wild card games so far: 2012 AL: Baltimore 5, Texas 1 (Teams had same records so they would have played a 1GP under the old format as well.) 2012 NL: St. Louis 6, Atlanta 3 (infield fly game) 2013 AL: Tampa Bay 4, Cleveland 0 (TB and TEX tied for second wild card and played a 1GP on Monday. Wild card game was already scheduled for Wednesday, so it did not need to be moved.) 2013 NL: Cincinnati 2, Pittsburgh 6 (only win by home team in the WCG) |
