Battists, I truly appreciate this level of customer service and of attention to detail among all of these many threads. I feel truly rewarded for the faith and hope and time I've put on here, along with many others on these forums, when I know you're trying to fix this "game" -- more like HOBBY, AVOCATION, LOVE, DREAM WORLD.
This test looks very close to solving the problem. There are no obvious mistakes. To really nitpick on tweaks, you might want to look at how closers and middle relievers are coded or rated. There are some very good closers who truly are not the best closer and go to the minors, but I would definitely have them on my roster in place of another middle reliever. Look at the example of Boston AAA Closer Rob Murphy at 12-10-9 and compare him to the MLB MR. It's a very minor judgment call -- and a definite fix to the previous problem -- but perhaps a closer should be considered as another middle reliever if he is the #2 best closer instead of going to the minors.
It's also a close call for the Cleveland minors close rated at 15-16-2. I can see where the horrible control of 2 might not make the cut, but there's also another minor league MR at 10-15-8, pretty darn good.
Key question: Why are the MLB rosters only displaying 9 pitchers? On a 25-man roster, shouldn't there be 11-13 pitchers? You usually do not have a backup for every single positional player, often a utility infielder and outfielder to cover multiple spots. Without cutting the pitching roster at 9, all of these minor leaguers mentioned above would have made the cut.
All in all, you've definitely solved the problem noted in the previous patch. The problems I had in multiple new season starts were horrible 1-1-1 players making the majors and 10-10-10 in the minors. No longer in evidence with what you supplied.
Again, thank you for allowing my voice to be heard. I really was on the fence about abandoning this new version. Now I'll hang in there much more patiently.
