Relief Pitcher Logic Needs Patch

[JDL375]

I'm having issues with RP's as well.

When I sim, the CPU uses Aroldis Chapman in non-save situations and removes him when it is a save situation and uses Betances instead. I have Chapman listed as the closer, in the closer spot, and Betances in a SU slot and listed as a RP.

Also, when playing against the CPU, the other team will use a non-CP RP for the first 2 outs of the 9th and THEN instert their closer to record the 3rd out of the 9th. I can't recall very many situations where the CPU will actually use the closer to START the 9th in a save situation.

OP, I get what you are saying. But relief pitching is changing as we speak. It seems every month a manager is trying something new. I think asking a video game to simulate real life is hard enough, but to expect it to simulate real life relief pitching in its current state is near impossible.

Would be great if next year they add a manager hook for relievers as well as starters. I used to love how in "High Heat" series on the PC they had individual team manager sliders for different situations(ex. base steal aggressiveness) so the managers could have individual styles.
