AI Bullpen Logic

[Cycloniac]

This has been the setup that has worked best for me:

Bullpen Setup
Think of your bullpen in terms of roles (role in brackets), like this:
LRP (low leverage: 2nd worst RP)
LRP (empty)
LRP (empty)

If you have starters/guys with 30+ stamina, make sure they're in an MRP slot, not an LRP slot, so they can be used properly.
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)
MRP (high leverage)

SU (primary setup man/high leverage: best OVR RP)
SU (low leverage: worst OVR RP)

CL (closer)

Great write up here. Will utilize this!

Huge disappointment. It's been an issue for a long time. It's good it is on their radar, but how long has it on there? Not asking you specifically.

Pretty much guarantees I will have yet another year of not being able to enjoy franchise mode in this game. Coming to GamePass was the best thing this series could have done for me. I'd love to play this game more, but it simply cannot satisfy my needs at this point in time, so I'll just stick with OOTP AGAIN. I want to enjoy both. Hopefully SDS can fix this and other legacy issues next year, but I like living so I won't hold my breath.

Will this also include fixing the CGs and Shutouts for starters in simmed games? The logic is from the mid 2000s.

The problem with moving a LR to the middle is if an injury happens or if a starter can’t go 5 innings the cpu always goes with your LR.

So if that’s your 2nd lowest rating guy it’s a problem if it’s a close game or an early injury.

To fix this you lower SP stamina slider to 2 and set manager hook slider to 7 for all simulated games.

I've seen otherwise

As long as you have someone with high stamina, they will use that pitcher.

I'll keep an eye out for that

I actually don’t mind them using the low stamina bullpen guy if they replace the starter. That is the game’s version of an opener. He will go about 2 innings.
