Re: Suggestion for making Spring Training more useful
They unfortunately have still yet to turn any attention to spring training. Many of us play this mode, have usefulness for it when developing a franchise and care about it. However we are left hanging at this point, I hope this is the last spring training we have these issues. Most glaring, the cpu management of its players is atrocious, Miggy will play every game in full and leave the human player nearly wasting his/her time competing against the opposition who is not nearly playing by the same rules. The cpu uses multiple starting pitchers in the same game no matter the prestige of the pitcher. For example Verlander will come in relief of Scherzer or vice-versa, which again is ridiculous. We are trying to develop our rosters or view our prospects or even prospects from around the league, while the cpu is playing their 25 man roster for the whole month nearly.
Worst of all things is, some of us tweak that injury slider up to try authenticating some of the season scenarios we could face. In doing so, the cpu poor, stupid management of it's team leaves alot of star players at risk of facing DL time. For example, 1st day of Spring Training I just simmed hours ago, saw only one injury (injury slider at 8). It was a Shin Broken on Torii Hunter, and it appeared to have happened in the 9th inning on his 4th at bat, while running the bases. He simply should NOT have been in the game, nor should have Miggy, Austin Jackson, Jose Iglesias, all playing 100 percent of the very first game of SPRING TRAINING. We are unfortunately not being attended to yet in this mode, I can only hope this is the last year it happens.
I just hope the mode is at least not bugged this way anymore, if it had features such as player development, physical conditioning and arm fatigue (physical training tools), etc. That would become magnificent. If we have A and B games, that is something very special, but we at least need the mode to be halfway useful. There are plenty of us who actually care about it.
