Speedster in My Player?

[sportsboxx]

Has anyone done a my player as a contact & basestealer type of player? I was just curious if my player will allow you to hit leadoff if your a leadoff type hitter. In my other my player I am a slugger and moved into the 3rd spot on the dodgers in the 2nd season so i wanted to try something different.

I think it would be a lot more fun to do this if the base stealing/running mechanics worked better in this year's game. Let us know how this works out for you.

I haven't gotten to where I can select my lineup spot, but I hit 5th against righties and leadoff against lefties in my second season in the majors. I have ratings around 85 contact and 80 power with 85 speed and 80 acceleration. I have the sliders for base running speed turned up a bit, but I can still only steal against pitchers with slow deliveries. After the first month, I have 9 steals so far and was thrown out once.

I don't know how anyone steals in this game. I always get picked off I can never guess right. FUASFHIASN, it's so frustrating.

I still love the game though.

Three step lead.

Only steal against pitchers with hitches or pauses in their deliveries. You'll need to up the Human runner speed. It's a necessary evil if you want to steal bags.

Also, until you get your player to 82-85 speed, I wouldn't even think about trying to steal.
