He has been great for me in offline modes. His first 2 games were complete games with 0 earned runs. and the 3rd i went through 7 innings with only 1 earned run. Havent used him online. I throw a lot of knuckleball strikes with him

Knuckleball non stop in the zone. Occasionally high fastball and curve in the ground.

I just took niekro out of my rotation for david price. Price had been 6-2 before I sat him with a 2.05 era. I pitched niekro 4 times over last 2 days and went 1-3. I'm noticing his outings of making ppl look foolish are close to over. I rarely see him anymore and when I trot him out there he is getting smashed. Niekro is now 5-5 with a 4.0 era for me. Worst on my staff.

Seaver 2-1 2.65 era
Scherzer 6-3 2.8 era
Weighnwright 5-4 3.5 era
Harvey 3-2 3.5 era.

Not for me overall he is 12-3 1.56 era and just played twice over the weekend going 1-0 with a non decision he pitched 8 both games giving up 3 total runs 2 in game 1 and 1 in game 2.

I have only used three legends: Tom Seaver, Joe Carter, Robin Yount, and Rod Carew. In order they would probably go Seaver, Yount, Carew, Carter. Carter really isnt any good at all, just got him for the 5%, yount and carew are solid contact hitters but yount produces more for me. And i just got seaver, he has struggled a little, but then again im not a very good pitcher. Just keep the ball low in the zone and he will be fine.

Online and I'm rated 1625 I've been using him since I was around level 1450

He's been my second best pitcher for me it's been
Seaver
Niekro
Harvey
Fernandez
Cole

I've used other like Scherzer lester Dallas etc and got destroyed except with Dallas
Scherzer lacks control for me for some reason.
