    Can Anyone Pick-Off a Runner?

    I have tried many times to pick-off a runner at first but so far can't do it. I myself have been picked off many times. I have made a snap throw from the catcher and caught a runner off guard but never a pick-off from the pitcher.

    Has anyone done it?

        I've done it a few times.Watch there lead and if it is to big throw it over, you will catch them every once in awhile

          DING!!!!

          I've noticed the same thing with The Show 2007. In The Show 2006, you COULD do it...especially if after throwing over once or twice, you made a hurried snap throw to the bag the third time.

          In this game, it aint happening...I've NEVER got one guy at first...it's MVP 2005 all over again....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

            I have actually picked a few guys off in MVP 2005, but in most games it is a rare or impossible task.

              i do that but still haven't been able to get one. The cpu however, seems to get me too many times, even though i'm pounding the 'get back' button. It's as if the button is not responding whatsoever and i get picked off!

              are you playing ps2 or ps3? I'm on ps3 btw.

                  I have done it a couple of times in this game. Wait for the commentator to make a comment about watching the runner over at first; that usually means he's going to run on you.

                  Life is a sport, so play hard!

                    In The Show 06 you could pick off a CPU runnner fairly easily. I've done it a dozen or so times. Sounds like they tweaked it in 07 to make it tougher, which probably wasn't necessary. And it does sound like they over-tweaked pickoffs to the point where they're almost non-existent - like the hit-by-pitch thing.

                      Honestly, I have not even tried to do it.

                        Also try to catch them napping with a quick throw over to first

                          I think that's the point... it doesn't work

                            I just picked off Willy Taveras. It can be done.

                              The way you do it is have a catcher with an awesome arm. I convert people's positions all the time (Guerrero as a defensive sub, its fun), nonetheless, you need to throw a pitch and the snap throw gets them sometimes. From a pitcher's point, no I can never pick the guy off. I'll have a snap throw over and then the next pitch, Chad Tracy steals second
