Pitchers with 1-4 endurance should only be used in relief, the can't give you more than 60 pitches per start. When importing a OOTP 8 league the endurance of pitchers is adjusted properly...
So, does that mean that a guy who would've been a 9 in OOTP8 (and would not have ever lasted more than 4-5 innings) can now give you 6, perhaps 7 innings? Basically, on import, a lot of relievers who never would've dreamed of starting will now be able to start? That's pretty awesome news . Thanks for a system that (on paper anyway) looks like a big improvement .
