Franchise Set Up Help

[cabralk]

Looking for some help on setting up for a rebuild franchise but want to be able to do some things to help for "realism"

1. Want to be able to adjust the cpu pitching staff/minors to keep reliever appearances reasonable. I feel like 30 team control would make it so i can trade for anyone. If I have to do 30TC I do have 2 profiles already just need to know how to set the second one up properly.

2. Manual injuries I know there is a way to set it up just never done it. How to set it up, what rules do you use

3. How do you keep the starting pitcher sim innings normal. I did a test sim of year 1 and it had 10 pitchers over 230 innings. Last year there was 8 over 200. Is it something with the sliders?

Re: Franchise Set Up Help

Thank you JWDixon I had a feeling you might have something. Wanted to avoid the 30tc but really seems to be the only option and using the trade calculator off your spreadsheet.

Any thoughts on how to get starter innings down? I was thinking about adjusting the stamina of every starter down but that seems a bit time consuming. I figured with relievers I can mess with the teams rotation page but i feel like the game is heavy on the stamina. Week 1 in my test sim 8 pitchers had complete games just feel like that shouldn't happen

So there are 2 options to get starter IP down.

You can adjust stamina’s (our franchise Fidelity roster did this)

Or you can adjust the stamina sliders.


Unfortunately, no matter how low you go guys will still throw 200+ innings A LOT

Re: Franchise Set Up Help

I ran a few tests I downloaded the Full Minor roster just to get rid of the legends and get the WBC players as international free agents.

Adjusting all stamina using Fidelity logic the average of 30 players was lowering everyone down 7. Made no starter below 60, no reliever above 35. Going -2 sliders on both starter and reliever and +2 on hook gave me 5 pitchers over 200 innings and 7 in the 190s. Applying a bullpen set up each team had 1 reliever with 80ish innings.

Overall happy with it, downloaded your spreadsheet to give me something new
