CPU bullpen with UR6.5+


ehhh

Recommended Posts

I just got the UR6.5+ update to work two days ago and simmed a season with the Yanks to play the post season. I never saw the following problem with 6.5 standard or any previous updates.

In the ALDS I played the A's and Kirk Sarloos pitched in all three games and had an ERA over 18.00. The CPU would not take him out, no matter how bad I was hammering him. In Game 2 I was losing 7-2, Sarloos came in in the 6th and gave up a single, a 2-run HR to Sheff, then walked the bases loaded then Cano hit a bases-clearing double to tie the game. Still, Sarloos came back out to pitch the 7th and 8th innings and I ended up winning 11-8. By the end of the 6th inning he couldn't throw a breaking pitch for a strike, so I'd just wait for my 2-0 or 3-1 fastball and tee off.

I figured this was a one time thing, but then the exact same situation happened with David Riske and Boston in the ALCS. Again, Boston blew a lead because they wouldn't take Riske out despite him giving up two 2-run homers in the same inning and having two pitchers fully warmed up in the bullpen. I beat Boston 4-2 to move on to the World Series, but the series at least would have gone 7 games and I probably would have lost if they had proper bullpen management.

Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any recommondations for a fix?

I never heard of this issue and I don't think that it has to do with the rosters. I'm sure the issue comes from somewhere within the MVP engine...

The CPU has a bad habit of leaving pitchers in too long. I used to see starters left in the game until the 8th or 9th inning even when they were at 40 - 35% and had givin up several runs. I moved the sliders to 30 CPU pitcher fatigue and this helps some.

how do you see CPU pitcher's stamina %?

A way to avoid this is to adjust the CPU pitcher fatigue rate and bullpen fatigue rate.. I put it at 30 so they don't throw more than 2-3 innings. But Saarloos is a starter they have as a long man.. it's really annoying the way the CPU optimizes rosters.

I've seen them carry 9 starters on a major league roster before and then on their AA and A rosters it's all major league relievers in the rotation.

on that note..is there an easier way to set up pitchers and rosters after a fantasy draft..i had to go and hand-put everyone in last night...all call-ups and send downs to get it right...and every type of lineup (DH and no DH)...there has to be an easier way to do this..anybody know?
