What BostonBoy said.

Looking at April 10 but we are on the roster 24-7. Pushing for earlier.

Glad I found this thread and this roster it's exactly what I've been looking for. Couple questions....how does the lowered reliever stamina affect pitch counts? Like what's a realistic number to expect from a reliever with 10 stamina. And how does the lowered vision for hitters affect strikeouts? Did you lower them to make strikeouts numbers more realistic?

So the lower stamina doesn’t seem affect relievers negatively. Just makes those guys mainly 1 IP guys like in real life. Those guys are good for 20-25 pitches max.

Our vision ratings paired with K/9 ratings were specifically curated for The Show’s sim engine. In game you’ll also see inflated strikeouts, which is intentional.

You’ll see some teams K 15-18 times in a game occasionally, just like IRL.

What about for pitchers who are meant to pitch like 2-3 innings, for example the Yankees have Loasiaga who they have set to pitch 2-3 innings max, then take a day off, and then Luke Weaver as long relief pitchers, I would have said Clayton Beater too but he got optioned to AAA for Tanner Tully.

Appreciate the reply, I'll have to find a Narvaez CAP then, I like to have my Yankees filled with their top prospects from all the sites rather than some guys who are journeyman like a Tanner Tully.

Thanks, -Jason

No problem I love the questions!

We have Middle Relief guys usually in the 20-40 range!

Loasiaga has 12 stamina for us, but you can bump that to fit your role for him. Caleb Ferguson, and Ian Hamilton have 35-40 Stamina.

Cody Morris has 55

Do these high stamina make it difficult for CPU to rotate pitchers? This has been a legacy issue for stamina over 30.

CPU bullpen management will always be an issue. Not sure if there is anything we can do about it.

This does seem to help In-Game management be better as those guys will mostly throw one inning.
