More August Updates - New Reliever Controls & Stamina Display

Blog Post with more detailed discussion of this release, including podcast with conversation over the changes - New Reliever Controls, Stamina Display, and More

Manager Settings Updates

New Reliever Preference Controls

  • Added MR1 Preference Rate and SU1 Preference Rate settings
    • Set how often your manager chooses your primary reliever in each role (up to 70% preference) in situations where a choice is made between the two available relievers
    • Replaces the previous complex system with a clearer probability-based approach
    • Note: Actual usage will still vary based on probability outcomes and player availability

Improved Rest Settings Display

  • Player rest thresholds now show as exact percentages (e.g., "49%") instead of vague status terms (e.g., "Tired")

Player Condition Display Overhaul

New Stamina (Stam) Display

  • Current/Maximum EN is now simply Stamina shown as a percentage
  • 100% = fully rested pitcher
  • Performance penalties begin below 50% Stamina

Seasonal Fatigue/Seafat (SF) is Back

  • Now visible again on team lineup pages
  • Shows as percentage reduction to a player's maximum endurance
  • Higher SF = longer recovery times and reduced maximum stamina
  • Increases based on games played relative to team schedule, and player EN
  • Resting players can reduce or eliminate seasonal fatigue

Note: Fatigue and endurance mechanics remain unchanged, and these are only display changes
