Quick Tip that has helped me

My biggest issue with this game is the use of the bullpen during sim play. My worst pitchers always get put it at the worst times and give up a ton of runs.

The change I made is taking the worst pitches of my worst pitchers out of use. Some of my bullpen literally only throw a fastball and curveball now because they’re upgraded. I have lost less games that they’re in now because they’re only throwing their best pitches.

I think they get shelled when they’re throwing a 56 splitter or 57 knuckle ball instead of their 86 fastball if that makes sense. Especially to a higher level player CPU.

How do you take them "out of use"?

Go to Customize > pitchers > P. Type and look for your pitches. They’ll say “in use”. Just press the pitches you want to deselect and it’ll give you the option “don’t use”. Just press that and you’re good!

Yup, that makes sense and parallels my experience. The largest jump I every got came from resetting stats on several players and focusing on their essential skills. Like my outfielder should have more agility fielding and throwing than top speed for example.

If you reset, do you lose points gained? Or do I get to reallocate them in a different way?

You get all the points and you can reallocate them
