New Cards or Steal Settings?

PostWed Apr 29, 2015 10:10 am

Would you guys rather have batches of new cards, or the ability to set different team settings for stealing 2b, 3b, and home?
My vote is steal settings by a mile. Any thoughts?

If there's overwhelming support, it's possible we get a few extra drop-down menus, right?

I didn't see an option to create a poll.

Being new, I was surprised there was no option to have different settings for stealing 3rd or home. I rather not have as many runners trying to steal 3rd as they do 2nd.

They have now given us several sets of new cards. I have sufficient reason to believe they will add more.
Better steal control even if given the priority probably never going to happen.

So this sorta feels like a choice between a new kitten and a unicorn. A unicorn might be more exciting. But the kitten exists. But if I have to choose going with the choice that is possible. Taking the kitten. ;) New cards

You can't offer up pipe dreams as an alternative to kittens, it's Unicorns. And Unicorns fart rainbows, so I still hate cats. :mrgreen:

See, I would quit playing strat and never visit the boards again but then where else could I learn something like this.
I mean who knew? This may just be the most educational site on the internet.

How about fixing some of the steal ratings on the cards. I am a bit confused by some of them. For example:

RICKEY HENDERSON (1983) stealing-(AAA) *2-7,10/- (20-16) Comment - seems pretty good, like an AAA should be.
PETE BROWNING (1887) stealing-(AAA) *2-7/- (15-6) Comment - good at getting a lead, but that success rate
can't possibly be worth AAA rating
HURLEY MCNAIR (NeL) stealing-(B) *2-9/10,11 (15-9) Comment - Wow, looks better than AAA Browning

I find several AA and AAA ratings that don't seem to be very good at stealing bases. It seems like a big project to clean up, but I would rather have more accurate stealing ratings thank controls.
