Comes out to one pickoff every 5.26 games.
For comparison, IRL 2023 season there have been 149 pickoffs in 1077 games up to this point in the season... That's one pickoff every 7.22 games. If that pace keeps up for the remainder of this IRL season that will be 336 pickoffs....... Seeing 130 more in an OOTP season is a gigantic up tick and absolutely needs to be looked at.
And for what it's worth, I bet my stats are far worse than KRSW's, though I haven't tracked them outside of the random screen shots over the last week or two.
