Double Steal WAY too easy

SpaceMonkey13 · 04-27-2004, 12:55 AM

I noticed this in OOTP3, and it appears to still be a problem in v6. Runners on 1st & 2nd, no matter how fast, go ahead and double-steal. Success rate must be around 95%. I figured it would be fixed by now (I didn't own v4 or v5), but I began noticing it again in v6 so I forced a test (intentionally walking guys to set up the double-steal). I was successful 8 times (3 of those by a '2' basestealer) until I was finally thrown out.

It depends on how good the lead runner is. The 2nd runner will always make it. I've been thrown out at 3rd a few times, so I'm not sure if there is much of a problem.

3 of those lead runners were '2' baserunners. Try it. Play a game managing both teams. Continually walk guys to get into 1st & 2nd situations and then send them. There's a problem.

i've played tons of games and most of the time they get caught. i had vince coleman and one game he got caught at 3rd twice on double steal attempts. it depends on the catcher's arm rating.
