Pitchers at 100% a day early. Pitchers only needing 4 days rest.

[austin101123]

Both in stats only and regular online league, pitchers are ready on just 4 days rest. This happening since August 10th 2025. (or for the stats only league a few days ago since we were in the offseason)


I believe an acceleration of rest on relievers is also happening, but it's hard to say definitively by just looking at it.

You mention it started for you Aug 10 which coincides with the beta release of the current patch. I'm not sure from your post if you think this is patch related? FWIW my game is fully patched and I am not having the issue you describe.

What are your league settings for pitcher rotation size and stamina?

My league is..
League Settings>Stats & AI..
"typical starting rotation size" 5 ( With the screenshot I'm wondering if this setting got changed to 4?)
"Pitcher stamina" Low (If RP are recovering faster too I'd look at this)

Perhaps something glitched when you patched and these settings changed?

Only places I can think of to check. Hopefully it is of some help.

A commish has said it all looks normal, and I haven't changed anything nor would I be able to. I can't check it myself directly to confirm because league settings are not available to regular GMs. This is in both leagues of mine which have completely different commish/simmers too and one is stats only. Of note is they both started at least a few years ago and we import to the new OOTP each year.


If there was a patch Aug 10 or 1-2 days before then I do think the bug would've been introduced there. Other users in my leagues have the same thing, so it's not just my game only.


I forgot to mention in the original post there is also a second bug. When doing "always start highest rested" the expected behavior is to pitch the highest man in the rotation at 100%, but now it will go in strict order regardless. When there were off days, I had guys going on 6 or even 7 days of rest before starting again when they should've pitched after just 4 or 5 days.

My league has been imported from version to version since v4 (2002). My imported league (solo, not online) doesn't have the issue with the current patch. Take that FWIW.

Only other suggestion I would have would be the commish file a ticket and submit the league files for the developer to look at. Good luck.

Nothing in the patch would have impacted the general stamina settings. But it's possible that coincided with something on the commish's end where a strategy setting changed for them? I would double-check what they have set as the league's default rotation size, stamina, and pitcher duration settings. If the stamina is on high, or the duration settings is too much above 1, then pitchers could recover earlier.

Have your commish check the settings unders Stats and AI in the league settings.

Our online had the same issue with rest and it was a result of the game handling settings different from when the league was first setup. For modern day, pitcher stamina has to be Very Low and you need to check the starting and relief pitcher stat modifiers.

The best way to know roughly what they should be is to create a historical save with the season you are modeling (or just use a default save with 2025 if you want current day), advance to opening day (stat modifiers are calculated on opening day) and see what the settings are.

Our league was setup for 2016. I had to do this to reset our league to match. I believe you can let the autocalc do its thing from there. In our case, stamina was not set to Very Low.
