Base running aggressiveness??

[tapout8302]

Does baserunning aggresiveness determine how often a player will attempt to steal? Or does the stealing attribute determine that? I always thought the steal attribute just determines how good of a jump you get and aggressiveness determines how frequently they attempt to steal. Am I correct? Thanks in advance

Re: Base running aggressiveness??

Base running aggressiveness should be tied to the runner’s probability of taking an extra base on a ball in play. There used to be a slider in the game for base runner aggressiveness and they took it out which was a huge mistake.

Baserunning aggressiveness affects both steal frequency and frequency of taking an extra base

Seems cloudy to link both to the same rating because they really are two different things.

I agree with you. A while back, there used to be a baserunner ability attribute (or something similar in name), which was more directly tied to a baserunner knowing when he should try, or not try, to take the extra base.

Not sure why it was removed

Was it removed or just renamed? I thought the old baserunning ratings were Baserunning ability and aggressiveness and I thought they just changed the BR ability to Stealing

I went back and double checked--yes, it was renamed, not removed*
