Historical leagues and AI teams

Gerry58 · 06-05-2007, 10:29 AM

I started an historical league (year 2004) using Lahman database and i'm loving the game. What i find odd is the way the AI sometime manages the other teams. For example, i see the Cardinals using Isringhausen non as a closer but as a set-up man or the Braves still using Smoltz as a closer and not as a starter. How do you feel about it? Is there a way to 'force' the AI manager to stick to the historical way the players were used? Or all of this doesn't bother you at all?

Thanks, Gerry

If you are using the yearly modifiers, then they should switch between SP and RP when they change, but only when it is obvious to the AI that he was a closer.

Sometimes the AI will not use the historical if it thinks that said player is a better closer than what was used historically.
