Re: How not to manage a pitcher

What do you have pitcher fatigue set at? What were his original PC PCap?
59-74 seems low for a starter.

Was it the CPU that kept him in? How was he pitching? Was this in the franchise mode? Was the bullpen worn down?

I don't think there was nearly enough said.

Fatigue is set at whatever the All-star default is. That was his original PCap, don't know why it was so low.

CPU kept him in and he was actually pitching well..throwing mostly strikes.

It was in franchise mode and I'm not sure what there bullpen was looking like.

I wrote about this a good month ago. I noticed the CPU would routinely leave its starter in with 0 energy for 3, 4 or 5 extra innings as long as he wasn't getting hit. And with no change in his effectiveness other than the speed of his pitches dropped down several MPH when pitching on 0 energy. A huge flaw in the programming AI for sure. BTW this was with Quick games (not Franchise) and a CPU bullpen at 100% energy.

Re: How not to manage a pitcher

This is closely enough related that I don't want to start a fresh thread.

I'm doing a franchise with PHI and Halladay took the mound for his 7th start of the year. After a couple of innings I noticed that "are you gonna do a mound visit" graphic come up and I thought hey, what's going on? I looked at the PC/AP and it said that he only had like 35 AP. I've never seen that before. He didn't miss any days of rest or anything. I had to pull him after 3 because I was deathly afraid he'd get hurt.

Has anyone else seen this or have any idea why it happened?

So you guys do realize that since the patch, the P-PCap updates throughout the game, right? It's not giving you the total they started with, but what they actually have left.

That total can be affected by how many pitches a guy threw in his last start, too. I'm assuming it can also be affected by a nagging injury status.

I think it's definitely influenced by a guy's last start and by injuries. I love that, especially the first par. In Halliday's last start I had to lean on him for a complete game because my whole bullpen was gassed. Now I know he's gonna have a tougher time next start as a result.

I do this all the time for fun and they never get injured. In MVP they'd immediately throw out an elbow or something.
