Patience with Struggling Pitchers (Lots, Some, or Little)
Patience with Tired Pitchers (Lots, Some, or Little)
Starting Pitcher Strategy (Skip when possible, Skip 5th starter, never skip)
Bullpen Strategy (Reserve Closer and Setup men for mostly meaningful sitations, or Use Long and Middle relievers sparingly)
Only PH for pitchers in the X inning or later
Only PH for batters in the X inning or later
Only bring in a PH if the guy on the bench is (Much Better, Moderately Better, Somewhat Better, At all Better) than the guy currently batting
Stolen Base Attempts (Ultra Aggressive, Aggressive, Moderate, Conservative, Ultra Conservative).
I'm not sure how I'll set up the Bullpen prefs, but it will be based on whether the person selects use Long & Middle guys sparingly, or save Closer and setup men for key situations. The theory being you either save your good RP for the crucial spots and use your Middle and Long relievers more liberally, or you stretch your better relievers thin and risk not having them around in the 9th inning or for tomorrow.
I think the rest of these are more or less straightforward. The Stolen base thing wouldn't set all the things to ultra aggressive or ultra conservative, (like Stealing home would probably be conservative no matter what you pick), but that would be the prevailing theme.
If there is a choice in the advanced screens that isn't covered by these choices, I will pick what I think most people would want and go with that. For example, if you used the Regular mode then the choice for:
"If it is a save situation in the 9th inning or later" would probably be Bring in the closer except if its a ShutOut.
Any thoughts? Not much is coded yet besides some high level stuff, so let me know what you think so I can make changes earlier rather than later.
Regular and Advanced Mode

I started putting together the pages to have Regular and Advanced mode for Game Control. I might have it ready by tomorrow. But here are the 8 choices you'll have in Regular mode (what you see know would be considered advanced mode).Patience with Struggling Pitchers (Lots, Some, or Little)
Patience with Tired Pitchers (Lots, Some, or Little)
Starting Pitcher Strategy (Skip when possible, Skip 5th starter, never skip)
Bullpen Strategy (Reserve Closer and Setup men for mostly meaningful sitations, or Use Long and Middle relievers sparingly)

How will these work, will you only be able to set overall preferences in Regular mode and not tinker with them a little bit? Or would you be able set them in Regular mode, then switch to advanced and tweak them?

Is a "Reset to Defaults" button going to be included?How will these work, will you only be able to set overall preferences in Regular mode and not tinker with them a little bit? Or would you be able set them in Regular mode, then switch to advanced and tweak them?

If you go from Regular to Advanced mode, you can then tinker with your settings a bit. But if you want to go from Advanced mode back to Regular, you will lose some of the settings you made in Advanced. I don't think a lot of people will go this route.

Yes, I will add a reset to defaults button on both screens.If you go from Regular to Advanced mode, you can then tinker with your settings a bit. But if you want to go from Advanced mode back to Regular, you will lose some of the settings you made in Advanced. I don't think a lot of people will go this route.
