S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

The problem isn't really with them getting tired but recovery. At 5 I had Orion Kerkering throw 20+ pitches and get tired and 3 days later he still wasn't 100%. That was with Stamina at 5. I bumped it up to 6.

Yeah, we do it more so for the recovery than anything else

I started over because I was doing some games custom entry. But decided I'm going to do every pitch of my Dodgers franchise and then do maybe the Nationals or Royals and do custom entry to get through multiple seasons.

Here is the boxscore. Outman came in to pinch hit and go in on defense and he injured his foot and is out for 2 weeks. Dodgers have called up Kim who started the year in AAA to give him regular at bats. We will move Edman to CF and put Kim at 2B and he might win the spot and force us to make a decision on Outman when he returns next week.

Playing every pitch with Dixon's roster. Really loving the work, JW! Definitely raising stamina to 6 is needed. I didn't raise SP yet but I will. What about simulated games for close to realistic CGs and RP use?

Finished the first series vs Giants using fan graphs for their lineup. What a joy to play!

Game one: W 2-1.
Game two: L 4-3
Game three: W 5-4


Game three I was down 4-2 bottom 9. Your roster helped impact this game. Their closer got the game two save, but was in the 20s for pitch count. I hit a one out pinch hit single with Fraley. Two run wall scraper HR by Candelario. Then Elly hits the back to back HR to nearly straight center to walk it off with his first homerun of the season.

The one thing I wish the cpu would do is a mound visit to raise their confidence. Also, just my opinion but no way he's being left out to pitch to Elly either. I'm going to start raising the hook to 10 like last year once the SP is removed. I kinda feel like I was nearly handed that win and I hate that feeling. But I'm not taking back the walk off homerun after Elly struggled most of the series lol

Hey Bryan, I noticed earlier you mentioned you were raising SP and RP stamina to 6 for Hum and Cpu, but in looking at the first page it shows these values at 5 for the user while the Cpu does have these changes, just was seeing if you had just forgot to change the user side? or did you decide to leave them at default..

The reason I am asking is I downloaded the fidelity rosters and seen that it was recommended to raise these 2 sliders, and also just to make sure I had all the latest slider updates

For Fidelity roster, stamina at 6 for both. Default 5 seemed fine with the live roster.

Thanks for catching that. I fixed it.
