Check your Era settings and check your league complete game totals. I get anywhere from 36 to 45 saves in a year from the top closers with pitcher endurance set to normal and use relievers set to often. With this setting, I get very high complete game numbers compared to current MLB. For example in the NL my 2004 CG = 237 real NL 2004 CG =71, so 237-71=166/16teams=10.4. If you assume that 80% of CG are wins then there are 8 to 9 saves/team not made because of complete games.

I like CG's so I'm happy with the 36 to 45 totals I'm getting.
