One area that REALLY needs to be changed regarding bullpen AI is the use of closers. They aren't used enough. The reason for this is they only seem to come in when it is a clear save situation. I don't know how many times I've played a series in franchise where I've never had to face some of the top closers in baseball. That rarely happens in real life. Managers find a way to get these guys an inning or two every few games.

The big situation that sticks out is when a home team is in a tie game late or in extra innings. The AI will not use its closer unless all other pitchers have been exhausted. The logic is waiting for a save situation that never comes because the home team is always batting last. In real life the home team uses its top closer in the top of the 9th of a tie game. It's a big area that needs to be fixed.
