Having the same issue on switch. Worst part was it was only the second Manager convo I had in a full year since getting called up. May only be an issue with closers though.

It's now the second year where clutch was given increased inportance, and yet the setup for RTTS hasn't changed to match the importance of the stat. For at least the break archetype, Pitching clutch DOES NOT INCREASE FROM BRONZE TO DIAMOND. One would think that with the increased importance of pitching clutch that the game would adjust to align it more with H/9 growth, but no. It still doesn't change between bronze and diamond at all.

I think it should go up by 5 between each tier, and items with batting clutch should also affect pitching clutch to align it more with H/9 since they now function the same just in different situations. CAPs aren't used in DD anymore, so there's literally no reason as to why it shouldn't be boosted other than they just didn't think to change it.

Theoretically, so many of those bigger names COULD be included, but I'd hope that this program is a bunch of fresh faces that've never even gotten a whiff of a diamond card up to this point. Given the year he's had, Chris Martin could easily be an exception, but I think that those big names might be best suited possibly as captains for such a program, or for BR, where those kind of cards would normally show up, like the Reds Franco or Phils Diekman that we've seen this year.

I know there are some devs lurking around here, so I'll post this here in the hopes that someone from SDS reads this and steals this idea. I had the idea for a program dedicated to the best non-closer relievers from this year, guys like Ian Hamilton, Tyler Holton, Hoby Milner, Tim Mayza, Jeff Hoffman, Justin Topa, Kevin Ginkel, and more. A lot of relievers that aren't closers would never get better cards normally, since the only way they could really get one is through Monthly Awards or in the playoffs because these guys don't ever have big games or weeks. This would also help people who want to run team-specific lineups since there's very rarely enough good relievers to fill all those spots. Y'all could even call it something cheesy like "Sweet Relief" or whatever you feel like, I really don't care what y'all do with it from here, I'd just like to see some of these great relievers from this year get some love in The Show.
