As I suggested previously, the game probably needs to cutoff the 80's-1999 and make a new era setting because other things like stolen bases have changed a lot as well. I agree the game needs some tweaking, but you must also agree it is not broken or there is some kind of bug at play.

That is completely 100% wrong. yes the game has the modern area being 1981? i think and that is the real start of the modern closer, however look at how closers were used back then and how many saves they got. Closers got 20s in saves with a few in the 30s, until the late 80s when I think Dennis Eckersley really became the prototype of the modern closer. Bullpen use is much different than it was in the 80s. there was no such thing as a setup man in the 80s. There were starters and there were guys who wernt starters.
I have looked at the numbers from the 80s though, and they pretty much match up exactly with the ones I get. So if your goal is to recreate 80s pitching then 6.5 does it perfectly. Unfortunatly I and others want to recreate current bullpen use in which case 6.5 is horrible at. Hey if the game is great for you good for you, but for me this problem has taken a whole lot of enjoyment from the game, and really disapoints me because I like the new features in the expansion but I find myself not playing it much and I just feel like I wasted that money. Its only 10 bucks but still.
