Installed the new patch yesterday right before 2018 season. Now 5 games in. Couples of things stand out so far for me. Now I will state I don't understand all the ins and outs and depth that some of you guys do but I have seen and uptick in steals, and double steals. Also injuries have been much more rampant. Anyone seeing similar?

statistical results are 100% controled through your LTM and LT (league totals - and lt modifiers)

if you think it's a wild increase or decrease, make sure to "Auto-caclulate" your league modifiers on opening day the next year...

if you still see similar issues and think something smells funny, post a bug report. you'd probably need data about proportion of what you think is odd and compare to some baseline from modern mlb etc etc... not just "i think this looks high" if you want them to take it seriously.

make sure to think of "Normal" as a wide range of acceptable results. in general +/- 10% is good start.. .something things range a bit less, somethings may range a bit more. stealng is one of the bigger ranges of results (# of attempts that is), even when maintaining LTM that don't change -entire set of them.

changing LTM will shift that range of resutls. regardless, every LTM will have a minimum and maximum results, think of them as dials to callibrate various things, and that they affect each other in logical ways... e.g. high BA with weak power means more singles right? that may increase SB attempts even if you maintain the SAME LTM for stolen base attempts. manipulating HR will affect BABIP, as will BBs... etc etc... if you change one, also consider it's ramification on others, which may cause you to adjust others if you like the current state of them.
