How To Stop AI From Changing Pitcher Too Soon?

Eugene Church · 07-14-2019, 07:34 PM

Lately the AI is taking a starting pitcher out when he is having a really good game and there is no reason to do it.

It will remove the starter for a pinch hitter as early as the fifth inning... for instance, it's a 0-0 game... the pitcher has allowed only 2 hits with no walks... I could understand it in the seventh, eighth or ninth, if there is a runner in scoring position, but not the fifth.

It has been happening regularly.

I play 1950 baseball and the pitchers should go deep in the game when they are pitching a strong game... complete games are routine in this era.

What should the game settings be to insure this?

Listed below is a screenshot of the current game settings. (see General Strategic Tendencies)

stamina = very high
pinch hit for pitchers = very rarely
use of relievers = rarely
use of closers = very rarely
hook starters and relievers as low as you can
