Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

That (imo) is the key.
For those of you that are witnessing steals,are you using default sliders or are you using custom sliders.

FWIW, pre-patch I was using my own custom sliders based off All-Star mode, and I saw maybe 2-3 steals every 10 games or so. Not that frequent, obviously, but I wasn't seeing ZERO steals like most people. I didn't move the steal or hit-and-run sliders (are there such things?), so I guess technically those were set on default.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

I noticed that too. My first game post-patch, got 2 steals against me, one by Daric Barton and one by erm.. someone. I'm also using custom sliders. That 2 steal was actually the FIRST 2 steals against me ever under 2k8, of course they were safe both of the time 'casue I wasn't paying attention with their lack of steal. I'd be like what's the screen doing as it changes around and next thing i know the runner is headin' toward 2B. So by the time i press the button.. he's already there

only played 2 games post-patch so i can't say if they're doing it more or just that one lucky game.

Im going to try this out tonight . Ive heard this mentioned a few times recently. Ill post back if I notice anything as Ive played atleast 100 games and the CPU has not attempted 5 steals total on me total.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

I haven't played a game since the patch actually. But I believe the CPU is 0/3 against me because I do full power and luckily it isn't a bad throw.

PLATINUM PATCH...

I'm using custom sliders...That's probably why I rarely ever see a CPU steal. It sucks because I think this game plays like crap on any default difficulty.

Doesn't Dan use custom sliders as well?
I knew he tried allstar default,but from the sounds of his post I was under the impression he went back to custom sliders.

Dan.....clear this one up..lol

I've only seen 1 steal in all the games I have played,and it was using default sliders.
Like you,I have just started using a version of custom sliders with "steal 2nd" at default. It's only been a couple of games,but so far no steals.
I'm going to play more and check it out though....who knows at this point..lol

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

had two steal attempts with custom sliders while playing against the pirates post patch.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

Pre patch - 10+ games and 0 steals.

Post patch - 5 games and three steals.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

I must say...you guys that are getting the steals are lucky.
So far,I've played 6 games and still no steals.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

Didn't someone mention that if you left the steals slider alone you would see steals.... but you could alter all the other sliders to your heart's content?

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

Had two in the same game from LAD. First one caught me nappin, second one I threw the pitch in the dirt.

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

I just finished spending around 20 hours or so getting my rosters worked out. I have tweaked my sliders till I'm pretty happy with the overall gameplay(I now have walks for AI and myself, swinging S.O.s by the computer and sufficient foul balls) but this steal thing is still troubling me. I have seen some steals by the A.I. since the patch, I upped steal 2nd to 100 and 3rd to 78, but still not enough attempts. With sett. that high they should try everytime they set foot on a bag. Does anyone know(as was mentioned here earlier) if setting the A.I steal settings to default helps or not? Also has anyone tried upping the A.I. baserunning aggression slider? I'll try it, but I figure A.I. will just try to stretch hits. Wow, if 2k would fix this and tighten up the online play(plus a roster download and fix the remaining framerate problems) I would really enjoy this game.LoL

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

If anyone has tried this the input would be appreciated

Re: Since PATCH UPDATE......AI Steals

I'd like to know what the default steal sliders are for All-Star or Pro, as I don't want to reset all my other custom sliders. Big thanks to anyone who can answer this!

BTW, never seen a steal attempt by the AI pre or post update, just 3-2 two out movement. However, I believe I raised the steal sliders before I even played a game after reading in the impressions thread that CPU wasn't running...
