For this to be implemented, the slider settings would have to be made so they are no longer relative to the average value for that situation. I'd be in favor of this then.

The thing I've seen is that these sliders do make a difference. I saw some real stupid things going on, went and changed the sliders and they stopped. I'm talking about pitchers staying in after 2 walks up by one in the ninth, or a player trying to steal third with 2 outs in the 9th of a tie game. It certainly appears that these sliders make a difference in the game.
If it is relative then the relativity is off. My changes aren't drastic, and I constantly come with equal stats as the other teams. My move down from the managers longer hook in close late games is just like 2 notches, yet my team continues to have normal complete games, my bullpen notches up appropriate appearances. The only thing is I don't blow a lot of games becaus emy idiot manager lets him walk the bases loaded before getting someone up in the pen.
My team is a little skewed for various reasons, but I win over 100 for 29 straight years now. My worst record, 101 wins or so, was the year my manager retired and I got a new one. I didn't bother setting the sliders that year, and it cost me quite a few games with an all-star team... how many would it have cost a mediocre or even pretty good team?
Just as more info on this, not to argue the point here. I'd enjoy hearing from Markus on this so I can try and make some sense out of these moronic managers.
