    Only 13 pitchers Can't get accurate 26 man rosters for 20 who knows for 21?

    Their is a big issues with the 26 man... the rules are suppose to be 13 position players 13 pitchers.. but MLB changed the rules that the pitchers don't have the 13 pitchers limit.. i hate this rule. meaning with this game we can't get accurate 26 man rosters because the game won't let us have 9 man BP we can't go over the 13 pitchers limit. every NL team now has a 4 man bench because no DH and 9 pitchers in the BP.

    we know mlb 20 won't let us break the limit the question is will 21 let us as well? if not rosters will be a huge issue in getting 26 mans right. the only work around is to have a 25 man and just keep sending down a pitcher back and forth and pretend you have 26 players

    If the rule was changed in MLB this year (which I must have missed....I don't remember seeing that) then I would assume it was updated in the game too. They added all the (pre-covid) new rules from last year into the game
    Chicago Cubs
    Michigan Wolverines

    Thanks Peyton. #18

      13 pitcher rule was suppose to happen pre covid.. so the game got it right. but they announced 2 weeks ago that the unlimited pitcher rule is happening again for the 21 season so that rule has never happened and may never happen in the real world now. I hate seeing teams with 9 men in the BP too. so it remains to be seen if mlb 21 the show will have the 13 pitcher rule or not

      my only work around for this is to have a 4 man rotation. and when the 5th guy is ready to start call him up and then send the 4th guy down for that day. then vice versa. this is the way to get around this 13 pitcher min in the game. it works manually it's a lot of annoying mucking around but it's unlimited options and won't hurt the team

        I am confused. I just tried it and I was able to run 14 pitchers and 12 position players in my franchise.

            how?? it's not possible it won't let you play the game on the calendar unless you cut down to 13 pitchers it complains and says 'you have 14 pitches on your roster you need 13. are you only in spring training?? I bet that is why there is no limit in spring training. you might be able to start a franchise with 14 pitchers but it won't let you start the game with 14

              can you guys clarify that you were able to play a game with 14 pitchers?? in franchise mode?? 5 starters and 9 BP?? or just have them on the roster until the game complains you gotta change it?
