CPU Pitcher staying in the game too long

[DueceDiggla]

The CPU always leaves their starting pitcher in until at least the 8th. Whether they're pitching good or not, its always the same. I've tried adjusting some sliders, but I can't seem to find good numbers to get them to make realistic subs. Can you guys give me some ideas. Thanks.

Of course this would vary according to how patient of a hitter you are (I swing at everything) : I need like 20 cpu pitcher fatigue in order for the CPU to get taken out early...

Re: CPU Pitcher staying in the game too long

It kind of sucks that I have to do this, but when the CPU is leaving a pitcher in for way too long, I just switch control to the CPU team and make the pitching change myself. It works as long as you make the substitutions realistically. The CPU AI seems to base its decision too much on how the pitcher is pitching and not enough on stamina.

Can you change Team Tendencies using MVPEdit? Pull Pitcher can be set to either 0, 1, or 2. Does this make a difference?

Isn't that kinda how baseball in real life works? You make the decision on how he's pitching.. checking now and then how he's feeling towards the later innings?

I haven't had too much problem.. its usually not too hard to chase a pitcher out if you can hit him a bit, i've been on the other side too, where he is got me 2 runs or less and won't come out...

The first game of my owner mode. I am playing as the Braves vs Marlins with Beckett pitching. I playing on All Star using Pared slider with a couple of modifications. I have my pitcher fatigue at plus 2 or 3 and the CPU pitcher fatigue at minus 2 or 3. I hit up Beckett for 4 runs and either 6 or 7 inn. at 70-85 pitches, if you are taking pitches. Smoltz threw 71/3 at 70-80 pitches
