Pitcher Fatigue Slider- which way makes pitcher tire sooner?
 

Default is 50, do I move it to 55 or 45 to make pitchers fatigue a little faster? Thanks.

Moving it to the right makes the pitcher fatigue faster, moving it to the left makes the pitcher fatigue slower.

So if you maxed up to 100 pitchers would fatigue super fast.. if you lowered it to 0 they wouldnt fatigue at all.

Since it sounds like you want to have them fatigue just a little faster I would go with 55 to get your desired result.

neither way changes pitch count if thats what you mean, the fatigue slider effects the impact of your pitch count on your pitch effectiveness. so if its 0 then your pitches wont get any weaker as you get closer to your pitch cap. where as 100 would make it so you pitcher starts to lose effectiveness quickly.

Interesting. My games are routinely under 100 pitches each team and the bullpen is being under-utilized. If I bump fatigue to 55, from 50, will the CPU go to the bullpen when the pitcher becomes less effective due to fatigue or will it stick it out to whatever the PC is, for example 110? I am thinking fatigued earlier = less effective earlier = more runs = bullpen called upon. Make sense?

Advice: take pitches, take pitches, and keep taking pitches... It's all about PITCH COUNT.

I have fatigue at 45 and have found it to be perfect...

Well, the difference of 75 vs. 45 is really BIG. Sometimes - even when I work the count really high - the other teams pitcher would simply pitch, and pitch, and pitch and pitch @ 45. Bumping it to 75 (65 or 70 is also ok) is an unbelievable difference. There I realized the first time that the fatigue matters to the CPU. At 45 or 50 the CPU never pulled pitcher's because of their count, always only when they were rattled.

One problem, though...and it's a HUGE problem:

There is no separate slider for user and cpu. I had requested this at the official 2K forums for the last couple years, but to no avail.

you can do what you did (bumping it to 75), but beware that you will see extra base hits, most notably homeruns, start getting jacked out at alarming rates by about the 5th and 6th innings.

this is just a game flaw we'll have to live with. If we could separate those two sliders out for both user AND cpu, this game would be great... But we can't.

i tend to bump the pitcher fatigue slider to 55 or 60 at times.. again, i like to play games in a quick manner a lot, so obviously it set at 45 or 50 the cpu wont get to the pen much..
