I have no idea why this would happen to you often and not to me. I blow a save now and then, and sometimes when my pitcher's confidence is down I'll blow 2 or 3 in a 5 or 6 game span. But I save the vast majority of chances I get.

I've played at least 10 games in the past 3 days and I've given up 1 run in the 9th inning (and some were close games). So there's no way you have no control over this happening one way or another. So it apparently happens to you so much because 1) You're sliders are impacting it (I play on default sliders). 2) Your difficulty is somehow causing it (I play on All Star or HOF for everything). 3) User Error. You just forget how to pitch. Maybe you just get rattled lol

At this point, you should probably just stop playing the game. You are way too emotionally vested, IMO. I don't think there's any way you could allow your self to enjoy the game.

I agree...PAD, you need to take a step back, my friend. Too good of a game not to enjoy.

Perhaps you need to open your mind to the fact that this is a forum where people post about their video game experiences without being insulted or told to stop playing a game just because you don't experience what many others do. And I play on HoF difficulty with a few slider adjustments.

Ok.

Honestly I don't think thaSLAB meant to insult or tell you what to do... it's just that the way you frame all these "issues" make you appear more paranoiac than you probably really are.... For people like the developers who *know* for a fact what you suspect do not exist, it does appear that it is that tendency of people like yours that simply reinforces incorrect assumptions.

This is not to say some of issues you have risen are totally irrelevant in different contexts... just that so long as you keep attributing the cause of the issues to non-existing mechanisms (like late-inning, situational whatever), things will not improve at all for you. Engineers cannot "fix" things that do not exist.

I made a bug report for the postseason pitcher stamina issue. If everyone could upvote this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

And again, that does not mean it's correct or isn't an issue. It's clearly an issue.

If you think it's appropriate for a pitcher to require 9 days of rest in the playoffs, then simply don't upvote.

Move down to All Star or Veteran and you will be less frustrated.

It's not a bug and it's not changing don't want you guys to waste your time.

So you are happy with the fact that a pitcher can go 7-8 days without pitching and still be unable to pitch again?

There's no remotely plausible or logical explanation for this, I really hope you guys at least have a discussion about it.

I don't know if you saw my other post about this, but maybe they do it this way to simulate pitcher fatigue for the whole season. This could be a good way of doing it. Just because your pitcher doesn't start with full stamina doesn't mean he can't be effective.

That's the only logical explanation I can think of, and I kind of like it.

Except that still doesnt make sense. The game is supposed to be realistic. 1 team in the last 5 years willingly started more that 4 pitchers in the playoffs. STL, SF and Cincy all did it in 2012. Cueto got hurt in his first start and Cincy had to go with a 5th guy. Same for STL and Jaime Garcia. SF went with 5 because Timmy sucked. That is 3 of 40 teams since 20 teams that used more than 4 starting pitchers.

And sure it would be fine if after 5 days the pitcher had say 75% of his energy back. But he doesnt. Its not even half at times. Your pitcher would be out of energy by the 3rd or 4th and then you are pitching at a disadvantage.

Now i havent went and looked at how many inning those guys were pitching for the teams that never used more than 4. But ill damn sure take the time if i have to.

I can't say I have any stamina issues honestly. It could be down to pitching style; I use meter and pretty much never go into the red for pitch strength, never pitch over 100 pitches, and my starter is always ready to go for his next start.

Yeah I'm sorry SCEA but if that's working as intended, it's just a poor decision on your parts.

Especially the fact that a pitcher only recoups stamina on game days, so "off days" don't count.

Im pretty sure they still get stamina back on off days. Its just really low.

They should get the same amount of stamina back on an off-day as they would on a game day when they're just not pitching. That doesn't make any sense.

And taking 7-8 or more days to get back your full stamina when it usually only takes 4 days during the regular season? Say I'm playing a game on tuesday, on the pitcher select screen my guy who is scheduled to pitch wednesday is usually always back to full already. Suddenly during the postseason everybody recovers at half-speed, the part of the year when the rotation always gets shorter? That's just bad.

I'm in the ALCS at the moment and I didn't see any issue. I did, however, notice that with the pitcher auto-rotation option enabled, the rotation is not the same as last year where if you won a series in 3 games, i.e, 3 starters, the first game of the next series would list the fourth guy as the starter while the CPU had their ace scheduled to pitch; one would have to manually choose the ace or fiddle with the rotation.

# 160 BrianU @ 05/16/15 07:26 PM

On the upside it makes playing with historic rosters better. 1910's stamina ftw!
