I can't remember where I read it -- maybe The Book -- but to come our on top with stealing, you have to be very efficient, and I'm not seeing that efficiency anywhere in our league.

I've pretty much given up trying to steal by changing my team strategy, but wanted to check in here. Is our league a bit atypical? Is there any point to stealing in OOTP? Does it give you any advantage in sims?

I'm in an online league, so my concerns are how stealing is reflected in sims... it's been a while since I played out a game.

I entered this issue into the bug report DB. Hopefully, Markus will have a chance to look at it for OOTP15.
