Re: Some math related to the slow baserunning...
You can't edit existing players in the game I don't believe...only newly created ones.
Major leaguers cut the bag at the correct angle which may add an additonal 10 feet or so. Let's say I am wrong and it adds 20 feet.
That make 200 feet one has to run to get a double. Now, let's say slow players run the hundred yard dash in about 12-13 seconds. Fast players in 9.5 - 11 seconds. Doing the math, a slow player would take 8 - 8.5 seconds to make a double. A fast player, on the other hand, should cover 200 feet in 7 seconds or under...and yes, this accounts for starting from a dead stop and bellying out at first.
The videos show fast players (Damon, Jeter, Jones, Payton) taking between 8.5 - 9 seconds to leg out a double, or score from second.
Those are the facts, but let's let the game speak for itself on Wed. Maybe it is corrected in the final version.
