With Willie Mays you don't want "aggressive as possible". You want "intelligently aggressive" but there is no setting for that. Ramping up aggressiveness across the board is not realistic. In real life if I want a base runner to be more aggressive that means he should be trying to go from 1st to third on singles with one out more often. He should be trying to score from second on singles with two outs more often. He should be tagging at 2nd to go to third with one out more often. He should try to stretch singles into doubles when there are two outs more often. He should not be going from 1st to third on singles with 2 outs more often. He should not be tagging at 2nd with two outs more often.
I wish I could tell a player to be more aggressive on the base paths without him interpreting that to mean being more aggressive across the board.
