Computer stealing bases in 6.03

I'm probably imagining it. But has anybody else noticed that the computer teams tend to steal far less under 6.03 than under previous patches / versions.

Before I applied 6.03, it seemed that every time an opposing runner got on 1st with good stealing ratings, he'd have a go. Thus, a pitchout became a regular pitch for me (I play almost all of my games).

But now it seems that they rarely take off. This is much better, as I think it reflects the IRL situation where a manager / pitcher usually has very little idea if a runner is going or not on a particular pitch.

Maybe it's the same, but it seems to me like it's been tweaked.

Remember that in v6, stealing frequency changes with era settings, too, so you can always set it to very low or whatever that lowest setting is.

I think it's a good thing that it would be less now. I had 5 guys in 20 years in my last league that stole over 1000 bases on the Normal setting. You tell me of a time in MLB when 5 guys in 20 years stole 1000 bases! And that was on Normal??

Good.
