Someone who throws a 70 mph fastball could still throw a change-up. It isn't necessarily just about the speed of the pitch that matters. It's the grip, etc., which also results in a different sort of break than a fastball.
As for knuckleball pitchers, my game still produces them. I played a game in which I deliberately went looking for them. However, the AI doesn't really understand that they're a different sort of beast. I usually play with settings that let the minor league managers set lineups and handle promotions/demotions. However, when I do that, they rarely promote the knuckleballer above A ball, and they keep turning them into relievers, even though they are effective starters and have high endurance ratings.
