The CPU's Use of Relief Pitchers

Yep.

...and I agree with everything in this thread.
I truly wish that SCEA would add manager tendencies to either the team or directly to each manager somehow.....so that we could adjust the way the CPU uses it's pitchers. I would love it if it could be more fine tuned than just manager hook(slider)....to be able to weight whether it be a pull for fatigue or for getting hit around...and with RP....to be more or less reliant on L/R matchup or just best available RP.
...and as RC and others have brought up....I would love to see some pitchers be "unavailable" due to too much usage in the past couple of days.

That would be so cool.. I go to bring in Rivera and a pop up comes up saying He is too tired since he has been used too much...

Maybe they can make starters come in if a game goes into extras.

I was one of those guys that RC was talking about LOL

V2PMPES - in the roster vault

all pitchers have their stamina & pitch type's edited for realism. IF you want to take this further in ensuring that the CPU will handle the pitchers better take your sliders and add 3 to manager hook and take reliever and starter stamina down 3.

your welcome

I know the human player can do that. Not sure if the cpu does it though.

That would be cool to see or teams using position players in the rare occasion.

That's something I've never tried. Anybody out there actually use a position player in a blowout? How bad was it using them?

I have. They only have a fb and a changeup and are way more effective than they should be.
