Questions I have been dying to ask....
... but haven't had time until now.
1) Why does my AI manager always use the closer in the 9th inning even if it is not a save situation? 2) What is up with players names made up of strange characters instead of letters. Has Prince somehow influenced the development of this game? Just kidding about Prince. 3) Why has my scout never found a quality prospect from another country and I have played about 15 seasons so far. The players always only have a MLB potential of 0.5 or 1.0 stars. I use highly rated scouts and spend above average on my scouting budget? 3B) How long should the kids stay in my international pool? These discovered international prospects are tricky for me to develop. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. Last edited by Death2Life; 04-03-2014 at 07:36 PM. |

That may be your AI managers tendency. From what I see a some do and most don't. Another reason may be that the closer has not been used and several other pitchers are tired. The last and worst reason may be that the AI manager does not see him as the closer. This frustrates me a lot. I have had to trade pitchers because the AI won't use them.

As far as #2 your player name database might be corrupt. Re import names.

I've been simming about 22 years and have had one success from international signees, I'd guess out of about 50-60 people my scout has found. He is currently 19 and getting about 5 starts in my OF per week, with good ratings. It seems to be pretty rare to find anything worth while out of your international complex. Generally if their ratings are somewhat decent for a rookie-ball player i'll put them there once they reach 17 or 18 years old.

Yeah, international discoveries aren't supposed to be great; it's a very rare thing to find a good one. I'm not even sure if you'll ever find one who's a legit prospect right off the bat. That's why you keep them in the International Complex until one gets a talent boost and suddenly shows potential.

Are you saying in 22 seasons your scout has only found 50-60 international prospects? That's seems really low to me as my scout finds so many (about one a month) I have to go through my international complex every year just to make sure I have under 50 in there at any given time to allow for other prospects to sign. In my current season I am only 7 or 8 years in and have already had 100+ international finds with a couple decent and one potential all-star prospect.

One of my big questions about this game also has to do with the International Complex guys, when it's best to move them up. As in, if you don't move them up fast enough, do they regress? Or would leaving a borderline guy in the complex longer allow him to develop more?
I've got two guys in the complex that are worth watching right now. One is a current 1-star/potential 3-star and the other guy is a current 1/potential 5. I want to do what's best for them and not screw something up. |
