Four to Six Man Rotations

You can.

You need to press L1/R1 to tab from relievers screen to starters screen.

I really hope they have addressed the CPU putting short relievers in the starting rotation due to injuries while having a spot starter sitting in the minors.

That just annoys me to no end. IDK why it does, but it just does.

It took me YEARS to stumble upon this! I was always so frustrated that the CPU can do it, but I couldn't.

I used to do 4-man rotations all the time, to maximize stats, getting guys 40 starts. Then I'd have one RP who I'd put in when I needed a long man, and he'd end up getting 8+ innings every week too. When playing with NL rules especially, it adds another layer of strategy and challenge to work with.

I recently had a 4-game series where the CPU started game 1 with a short reliever. I knocked him out in the first inning, and absolutely wore out their staff in that game. Led to some hilarity the other three games, and probably a world record for pitching changes.

a few things

4 man is easy to do just don't put anything in the 5th slot

for a 6 man you can do it manually anyway it's easy

and finally that Angels 6 man won't last long, they are full of Injury prone guys and by May they will be back to 5 man, Yankees tried this with tanaka and it failed after about 2 weeks as soon as the first injury happened.
