Four to Six Man Rotations

[ncbravesfan]

With the Angels announcing that they are going to a six-man rotation, it would be nice if you could have the option to go with 4, 5 or 6 man rotations - to keep it more realistic.

This is one of the features they need to add to Franchise mode, especially 4-man playoff rotations.

Re: Four to Six Man Rotations

I don't really understand how they haven't had this feature. It was in baseball games in the 90s.

Re: Four to Six Man Rotations

This last playoff I set all the teams to a 4 man rotation. Didn't have a problem getting through the 7 game series.

You can roll with 4 without any problem. But it would be nice to have the option for 6.

Yeah the 4 man rotation is easy, you just leave the 5th spot empty and it will automatically treat it like a 4 man rotation.

You used to be able to manually do a 6 man rotation, but now with morale being a thing it's a lot harder.

Speaking of postseason situations....

Why can't we get a starter up in the bullpen to warm up and put them in the game? Bumgarner in game 7 a few years ago and Verlander, Kershaw, etc last year prove this is a common occurrence we should be able to implement as well.

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.

Re: Four to Six Man Rotations

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.
