OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - BZ 1807: Pickoff Attempts Result in Outs Far Too Often

I don't typically try the pickoffs at third, but I have noticed the high success of pickoff attempts at second base. In fact, I will occasionally "abuse" this unintentionally to get out of a jam. I'm not saying I'll keep throwing over to 2B over and over until I get a guy out, but I probably try picking off people at 2B more than a real life team would because I know I have a higher chance of success.

Glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this. I noticed it in OOTP 2007/8 too. Probably needs to be looked at.
