On the manager settings for closer ... what is the difference between maximize and regular? ... does that mean for maximize that the closer will ONLY come in in closer situation ... but with regular a closer MAY come in in non closer settings? :?:

Not really.

With maximize HAL will be more likely to pull the current pitcher and insert the closer in closer situations even if the curent pitcher isn't tired.

With the regular setting HAL will allow the current, untired pitcher to attempt to finish the game more often even if it is a closer situation.
