Problems with stealing

InRepair · 05-07-2005, 02:52 AM

Boy. I'm not sure anyone even reads this forum anymore. Well, just in case:

I was recently replaying OOTP5 and doing so with a 1908 season. I can't remember if it's just years from the Dead Ball Era, or if this happened in the more modern decades, but at least in this league, the computer is practically helpless against a double-steal from 1st and 2nd to 2nd and 3rd. It always works, regardless of how good the lead runner is. Is there any way at all to adjust this? I'm trying to sort of work around it by putting the my offense under computer control, but this leads to a second problem: while playing this way, it's impossible to make a roster change while at-bat, and the computer doesn't always do this appropriately.

Any ideas?

Things posted here get read but there will be no additional updates or patches to v5. Future versions make correct or contain solutions to issues in this version however.

I'm not asking for a patch. I was just curious if there was anyone out there who experienced this and, if so, what he did to deal with it.

Seems to me that the game doesn't hold runners in that situation. I know when the game tries double steals on me they don't work very often since I hold the runners. I have seen the same thing in OOTP6.

Well don't leave your stuff lying around.
