Highest Rested Starter

[bwiese3908]

Anyone else seeing this? Playing a historical save and the "always start highest rested starter" is not working. It completely messes up playoffs as the AI just goes down the list and never uses the highest rested starter. Huge buzzkill for playoffs especially.

Can you please show their fatigue?

May or may not be the issue, but --

It'll skip a player at 99%,

if you ask the AI to set up strategy, it'll often times adjust the hook starter slider for your best starters. If it adjusts it a single notch to the right, I think they'll end up at around 98% or 99% and be skipped.

Very annoying.

Would be neat if I could just specify to go from the top of the list and start anyone after 5 days rest (or 4 days in your case? I think) or at some % (like, say, 95%).

It'll skip a player at 100% if he's pitched any at all in the past 5 days and another 100% starter lower in the rotation hasn't. You can see this a lot after All-Star games when one of your top starters might have throw 25 pitches in the ASG.
