Bugs Noticed during Playoffs
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 7:27 pm
So, I just completed my first Puresim season. And although I quick simm'd the regular season, I decided to watch the world series (although simulated, not managed). I noticed these issues (btw, I'm running v1.63):
1) When switch hitters are batting against right handed pitchers, it indicates they are batting right handed. I don't know if they really are because the opposing pitcher's information shows what they are pitching against left handed batters as if it knows the batter is batting left handed. The issue doesn't exist when the pitcher is left handed and the batter is a switch hitter - it indicates they are batting right handed.
2) None of my starting pitchers got any rest during the playoffs. After 5 games I noticed that all 5 of my starting pitchers were "Completely Exhausted (0%)". I would expect my last pitcher to be very tired, but not my pitchers who had been resting for 4 or 5 days. This didn't seem to be a problem during the regular season.
3) In game 7 of my world series, instead of starting a completely exhausted pitcher from my starting rotation (see problem above), I made Bob Welch my game 7 starter (he was in the bullpen), he was only "Very Tired" (26%). And this was his line at completion of the game:
IP: 9 H:18 R: 24 ER: 24 BB: 14 K:3 HR: 4
Now, I understand that a little patience is necessary, but I'm thinking the bullpen could have assisted him a bit here. Maybe because of issue #2, all of the relief pitchers were also tired, so the computer AI left him in the game. Any ideas?
Oh, and the opposing team's pitchers were also completely exhausted, however, Danning Darwin (being completely exhausted) pitched this game:
IP: 3.2 H: 0 ER: 0 BB: 3 K: 0
As you can see the computer AI pulled him even though he had a no hitter through 3.2 innings.
Is anyone else recognized these issues? Are they known bugs? And is there an estimated time for having them resolved?
Thanks.
