There is a way to not trigger the energy and confidence issues using the quick menu. You have to do it this specific way or it won't work:


Note that warm up pitcher must be on.


1. Set your pitcher you want to come in to stretch and toss. They will have to stretch and toss for a few batters or over the half inning break. Their warm up status will be no more than 50 percent no matter how long it takes.

2. When you want them to come it. Set the bullpen pitcher to warm up.

3. Immediately, and I do mean immediately, do a mound visit. Don't pitch a single pitch or anything with the current pitcher.

4. Change your pitcher to the one in the bullpen during the mound visit.

5. They will come in at 75 percent warmed up, 100 percent energy (or no change if they weren't 100 percent prior to the game) and the same confidence they had.

6. Complete your 8 warm up pitches.


Your reliever will come into the game at the same energy they had without losing any.


You could have them stretch and toss for 3 innings then bring them in like the above and there is no energy loss.


You can argue it is not pure sim but it eliminates this bug. This trick has worked since MLB 20 when the bug became present.
