Interesting, so you feel a 50% steal rate is acceptable? I am not knowledgeable on baseball, I just enjoy playing this game (never got to play ball when I was a kid, more than a few times anyway). I like base stealing but all the cannon arms are pretty intimidating, I often just drop some or all of my best stealers as I feel they'll still fail a lot.
When I came back to the game I had forgotten a lot and was tinkering quite a bit with settings. I found setting a 20-16 stealer to Steal More still resulted in a surprisingly high amount of fails. So, if even they can't pull it off, I feel like the setting is suboptimal. Do you agree or have you found a use for it? I also find that using Normal against teams with -4 or -5 arms leads to quite a bit of fails. But perhaps I'm overly risk averse here? What do you consider the bare minimum success rate to be worthwhile? Also, I assume in a pitcher park a higher fail rate is more acceptable as runs are harder to come by.
