    Has anyone found a way to make the CPU Manager manage a bullpen better?

    This is really my only gripe with this game - the CPU AI still cannot manage a bullpen effectively. Ive been in several games where a relief pitcher has been left in for 3+ innings, despite either a high pitch count or giving up a lot of runs. Its unrealistic and I just think its kind of annoying to see relief pitchers pitch 2 innings or more when they normally wouldnt.

    I upped the pitcher fatigue to 60 but thats only helped really with the starting pitchers. Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this?

          I said in my first post that they get left in regardless of how many runs they've given up.

              Lowering the stamina attributes of relievers might work, but that'd be a lot of work. I may test it out later tonight or tomorrow to see if it changes anything. One thing that I was suprised to see was the cpu brought in a left to face a lefty then took him out after the AB when there was a righty up. It seems hit or miss, sometimes the cpu will bring in a new reliever each inning, and sometimes the cpu will leave a reliever in for 3+ innings.

                  Perhaps some of this is a CPU manager making a reliever "take one for the team". As in: if they're down a bunch one guy eats a bunch of innings so the rest of the bullpen doesn't get used in a game that's already lost. But I see this in My Player too. My guy is a RP and if I come in in the 7th, I always finish out the game and NEVER am I taken out for the closer, even if my team is up 2-0 going into the opponents final at bat.

                      Its stranged because I have seen this too. Some Managers have taken their guys out after an inning or so, or even a batter.

                      Idk, I just wish it was better.
