Brawls....

Last game of the regular season and a team going to the playoffs has a brawl costing a star bat 8 games??? How can I scale down those from happening. The suspensions are happening way too often.

That might be just bad luck on your part. I rarely see brawls in my game. I just view any suspensions that take place as part of baseball.

I've said this before in other threads, but to be happy with suspensions on you have to accept what the computer gives you as a representation of things that could happen in real life. But people don't "believe" in it when it happens so the response practically every time is "should I reduce the suspension?" The fault isn't in the game's simulation of things, its in the fact that people don't want to accept it as a facet of the simulation any time it bites them.

I use a workaround: Since MLB rarely suspends player from the postseason, I disable suspensions for the playoffs to keep teams from losing star players. MLB might throw them out of a game, but I don't think they would suspend them during the playoffs. I don't think players would fight or brawl in the postseason, knowing they would be suspended.

Maybe MLB players are smarter than OOTPB players.
