        Yea, a little. I hope this isn't an issue, I really want to like WSB again.
        be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter.

            Triggercut: that sounds better, can you tell me if there is a slider that could also help with this (increase catchers throwing), also is it possible to edit the attributes of your players, one could then increase the throwing ability of the catcher, hopefully that won't be neccessary

                I have been thrown out multiple times myself. At least twice last night when the AI was punishing me and strking me out 18 times...

                    I can steal pretty easily on the Pro level. When I moved up to All-Star it got a little tougher I guess because the pitches are faster or the AI is better.

                    Just recently though, I've been tweaking the sliders a bit to make it more difficult because I'm starting to win pretty regularly. I've been playing with Very Fast pitch speed on the All-Star level, and now I'm only able to steal with guys like Jimmy Rollins. I'd recommend using the Very Fast pitch speed once you've gotten good enough at the game to do so. That should limit your base stealing to a reasonable amount.

                        is there a slider for stealing? because i dont want to have to make batting hard to make the game realistic

                        The dynasty will return

                            There's a slider for CPU Basestealing, but I don't think it has to do with how easy or hard it is to steal. I think it's just how often the CPU tries to steal on you. You may just have to deal with stealing being a bit easy until you're good enough to play at the harder levels.

                                I've continued to play and evaluate the stealing problem moving the level up to Legends and increasing the pitch speed to very fast. Bottom line, stealing is simply too easy. Even if you see an occasional throw out at second, very slow runners steal successfully far too often. There is no workaround other than limiting yourself to only stealing with legitimate base stealers. Unfortunately, even by limiting yourself, you know that a fast runner will steal 2nd everytime. To me, this is simply unacceptable considering this was a problem with the game last year.

                                Overall, the game looks great, sounds great, and plays great. Still, how could this problem not be addressed. When will companies learn that games can have all the bells and whistles in the world, but when it comes to baseball games gameplay is what matters most.
