No?
If this is legitimately as broken as you say it is, wouldn't you implement some limitations on it. Maybe limit how many times a game you use it. Or limit it to practical situations where it would be used in real life, or something.
Saying that it's broken and that it is a way to beat the game, yet willingly entering said cheat code every time it is remotely possible to do so is kind of talking out of both sides of your mouth. I guess I'm a little confused with how you say that it's a bad thing, but then you also have 300+ steals 40 games into the season. It's like saying steroids are bad while there's a syringe in your arm at the same time.

Whether I exploit a cheat code or not does nothing to take away from the fact that it exists. The reason I still use it is that I have been playing this sim for 6 years with gradual SB increases but just in the last two have come to fully understand and exploit it to the fullest, partially to demonstrate how big of an issue it is. Without those screen shots, this would and probably still is being dismissed.
I would LOVE to make stealing / run & hit, take pitch decisions with the "real" potential outcomes.
And, if I were to start a new sim, I would probably turn off all baserunning decisions and never use them again because there is no way to make real strategic decisions with real percentages with the way it is. Take my boy Dardin in my screen shot. He's a 30 runner with 70 steal rating. He's awesome at run & hit - steal at 85-90% clip. And with 30 running, they never pitch out against him. How do you call a run & hit on 3-2 count with 1 out knowing this, though in real world you might want to with contact hitter with high DP potential?
I can make house rules (and I would if I started a new sim and chose to manage baserunning) but again, that isn't the point.
