Ok, really this is about one strategy, but it's the one (I think) most people use: attempting a SB. Right now, if I want to set that high for a fast player I have to have him ignore every other strategy (you have to choose "Override Team Strategy..."). I may not want to do that for hit & runs or baserunning. Wishful thinking is a way to change only the player's propensity to steal without overriding all strategies. Give him the green light, in other words, and there's no way I can do that without screwing my other team settings cause I've got 6 players ignoring my coach.
NOTE: I would say that if you change any other factor you should have to override the coach's strategy. But giving the green light to a player, or red as the case may be, shouldn't require me adjusting how often he bunts for sacrifice or shifts at his position

Re: Personal vs Team Strategies
Oh, it was more of a general OOTP feature/complaint. Nothing the GB can do about it I don't guess. If there's an option it would be nice, but I've never seen it. It doesn't bother you that you can change none of a player's strategy, or ALL of it?

Re: Personal vs Team Strategies
I change all of my players' strategies and Override team strategy for every single one. Some people put in 7 day lineups, I set strategies and let it roll.

Re: Personal vs Team Strategies
Would keeping the areas you don't want overriding the team strategy as neutral help address this? I mean, unless my manager has extreme strategies I feel compelled to preserve, excepting the one I want to override, I would keep most settings in the middle.

Re: Personal vs Team Strategies
That's my thought. I can see that a GM is "overriding team settings" for all the things that are on that screen...except stealing/SB and that's the one we should be able to change by itself. Going against my team manager on how much a player should attempt a SB ought not require me to also set that player's "sac bunt" or "bunt for hit" or anything else.
