- Go to League -> League Setup -> Engine Setup
- Click Edit Era
- Set Stealing Bases to either Seldom or Not Often
- Change the Name of the Era
The Stealing Bases field is now blank and can not be changed. If it was set to anything other than Seldom or Not Often when changing the Era Name it seems to work as normal. It doesn't matter which Era you edit, it happens with all of them. It doesn't seem to matter what other values you change, it is a Stealing Bases specific thing. If you set Stealing Bases to normal, then change the name, you can then set Stealing Bases to whatever value you want.
Do NOT save the changes if you decide to test this at home without first making a backup or you Eras.dat file in your Data folder.
Between this and the bug with
negative creation modifiers for stealing, it seems this game
really doesn't want to let you reduce the number of stolen bases.
