Knowing that the game reflects real life isn't the issue. The issue is the poster wants to know the exact mathematical formula the game uses so he can make decisions based on that.

Example: if my 5th starter has an overall "50" rating and the game employs a "minus 10 percent effectiveness for each time through the order" penalty, then the third time through the order, they are a 40 rated pitcher. So if I have a reliever rated 45, it would be good move to pull the SP at that point. But, if the game does not employ a built-in penalty, then I would be better off leaving in the SP until he reaches "tired" status.

So what manager IRL knows the exact penalty of leaving in a pitcher? The game strives to simulate real life not to be a mathematical problem to be solved. Of course that is just MHO.
