I too have seen with my 20-year free agent set up a little hesitancy for the AI to promote younger / better prospects, though it is not too bad.

Before the v26 patch that addressed this, it was a...

I've been working on an 8 team league starting in the 1800s with minors and reserve era financials.

As someone who has messed around alot with stolen bases, I can tell you that this occurs (at least in older versions) only with players with very high (75-80) steal ratings. I look at it as the...

If you run & hit with anything below 65 steal rating, they will suck and it won't be worth it. Baseball analytics showed long ago that low success rates cost runs, so I almost never run & hit with...

And this is why game issues like this persist season after season. This one goes back to at least version 19 and most likely a lot longer than that.

Not exaggerated. Screenshot is in current season. Widdows stole 200+ last year. I don't pad stats by stealing 3rd with 2 outs, never steal home, etc.

My opinion is that OOTP should forget about the major league rule and make all players fulfill their 4 or 5 minor professional seasons before Rule 5 eligibility.
