Back To Board

Please clarify what you are talking about.
This string started off talking about 2 different things..

1. Starting a pitcher in back to back games
2. Using a relief pitcher to start a game.

The first item listed is apparently a new glitch in the game or database which
is not deducting enough BFA from a reliever who started a game. This happened to me 2x and I reported the problem to Mike and it is
being correct. Also, even though my RP were available the next game because their BFA didn't go down, I did not choose to use those relievers.

The second item is not a glitch or a "cheat" at all. You can use pitcher on your roster to start a game. If that pitcher happens to be a relief pitcher, then he
will suffer a degradation in ability during the simulation of the game (which is what should happen in real baseball and is stated in the rules)
However, if a reliever starts a game that actually started some games in real life, whether that be 1 game started or 15, he will not suffer a penalty and will be given a boost in BFA to
the levels of a regular starter. This is no glitch and it is used in the game and in real life. There are plenty of relievers that get a spot start on occasion. They
should be able to do the same in the simulation.
