[Brad K]

I'm surprised. Played some games. AI on for other teams attempt 8 SBs. All attempts were on 0-0 count. None of the attempts were broken H&Rs. Not a single batter swung.

I set my team to AI offensive control and edited my manager for the second highest levet of H&R attempts (He's already set for no steal attempts.).No H&Rs were attempted. This is in 10 games. I have several good H&R players with contact and avoid K ratings a 15 or more on a 20 scale.

It appears that in OOTP history the H&R was not yet invented in 1965. Since nothing made the release notes about starting runners then I assume it's the same in 25 as in 23 (I don't move my saves to never versions, where they start is where they stay.)
