High Speed, High Steal = fine
High Speed, Low Steal = fine
Low Speed, Low Steal = fine
Low Speed, High Steal = train wreck

I've resorted to fixing them before they get drafted.
I think this is wrong...unless Markus changed something drastic in X, which would be unlike him. Steal is correlated to SB success rate, Speed to the number of times the runner gets a jump. So a high speed, low steals rating combination would be the train wreck.

A player who didn't steal often, yet was successful often would be modeled as a low speed, high steal ratings kind of guy. You can find them in OOTP, and they perform just like that--few attempts, high success rate.
