The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

So, let's talk about bullpen logic.

I've tried the method I explained and tweaked it a bit because I found the AI really likes LRPs and wasn't using it's best relievers in obvious situations.

So, I am now using this setup and liking it better. Here's how to do it.

Think of your bullpen in terms of roles (role in brackets), like this:
LRP (low leverage: 2nd worst RP)
LRP (empty)
LRP (empty)

If you have starters/guys with 30+ stamina, make sure they're in an MRP slot, not an LRP slot, so they can be used properly.
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)

SU (primary setup man/high leverage: best OVR RP)
SU (low leverage: worst OVR RP)

CL (closer)

I had started taking a closer look at the AI recently, both in sims and played games, and noticed they were putting LRPs in high leverage situations, which should never happen. After I made the above changes. I played against STL the other night in a close, low scoring game. The AI correctly inserted rested MRPs and the SU guy. Game was tied in the 9th and they even brought in their closer in a non-save situation.

Adam Wainwright has been bad this year so I moved him to the bullpen for STL. The beauty of the MRP spot is that you can put starters in there and the game will use them correctly (if it's late, an inning. if long relief is needed, 2 innings or so). It also looks like the AI is smarter about letting bullpen arms rest this way, and we can use the neglected SU2 spot to our advantage here since by default, it's rarely used.

Adam Duvall (Braves OF)
Marcell Ozuna (Braves OF)
Ozzie Albies (Braves 2B)
Alex Bregman (Astros 3B)
D.J. LeMahieu (Yankees 2B)
Nick Ahmed (DBacks SS)
Nelson Cruz (Nationals DH)

I’ll stop there for now. Just a few players I saw when scrolling through my franchise.

Updates would be appreciated. Thank you !!!

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Just updated them

Hi Cycloniac! Thanks again for all your updates en advices. After my first successful franchise season with your roster and rocking it with the new york bombers, i'm in for a fresh new start with all your updated 2022/All Star players.

I'm going end the playoff drought in Seattle and try to start the J-Rod Show! But for the best experience again, may i make some more requests? I saw some interesting players from 'pimpinpidgeon8'. But Seattle wise, can you please give a 2022 update of Cal Raleigh (Catcher), Adam Frazier (2nd base), Eugenio Suarez (3rd base), Abraham Toro (3rd base), Jesse Winker (left fielder) and closer Paul Sewald.

Thanks again and you're the best!

No, I hadn't planned on it as I'm shifting focus to Madden now, but I'll continue sharing updated player ratings on request that people can add to their ongoing franchises, or their copies of the official TrueSim roster.

Hey Cy this is a m23 question (or theory) regarding pass protection. Would you or do you think lowering the reaction time in 23 create better interaction with o-line to defense? Causing the the best lineman to react better to players on defense? I only ask bc of the famous trailer showing the chargers line man reacting poorly to the LB blitzing. Haven't played beta or pre-ordered yet. I'm not impressed totally but I'm starving for NFL video game. Didn't purchase 22 so this could feel different enough to be fresh. Gameplay LOOKS good but madden usually looks great visually it's just the gameplay & franchise mode I care about overall and some of the stuff I feel good about. The rest will be just typical EA short comings just gonna have to live with.

BTW when will there be a new thread for m23?

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

I’ve found that walk totals for cpu teams seem a little inflated heading towards ASB. I’m dead last but average just under 3 walks drawn per game, which is about average in real MLB this year. I went to see how the league wide totals compared to real life and it seems like there’s just a lot of walks being drawn in dimmed games. Has anyone else noticed this?

Please tell me your ways to walking…I literally play each game trying to walk and i can barely get a walk per game
