<blockquote>quote:<hr /> I always assumed that the speed rating was separate from a players ability to steal bases (in OOTP). Meaning the speed rating was instead the players ability to go from 1st to 3rd, 2nd to home, etc. (basically his skill/speed running the bases).

And that the steal rating was the main or only factor when it came to that players ability to steal bases successfully. For example his ability to get a good jump on the pitcher.

<hr /></blockquote>That's what I always assumed. Generally, I have rarely even attempted to steal unless the runner had an A or a B steal rating and circumstances were at least fairly inviting. Then, I almost always do.
