So Dykstra is projected to steal 141 bases in your sim but only stole 37 as a 23 year old in '86? Did he have less opportunities to steal in real life or could he have racked up these sim numbers if he tried (or his manager let him)?

I don't know if any sims do this but to me it seems the stolen base logic should consider how often the runner has already stolen in the season and consider this in its ratings. Kind of like a pitcher tired rating or a part time player overuse effect but for runners over the sim season. You steal too often, you become tired on the base paths and you just can't steal.

The game has no limit to stealing bases. I can attempt to steal with him every single time he's on base.

Something is fundamentally broken with the stolen base logic. It makes no sense.
