I wasn't aware that changing up your delivery speed actually did something.

Nice tips.

Nailed CPU Bourn on a Slide Step - it works, people just have to give it a chance:

Throw wasn't even that great either - a good throw has him out by plenty.

Really excellent post! Thanks for sharing. I've played the Show for years in all modes and this is one area of the game I haven't used enough to my advantage. Didn't realize how powerful a tool in can be.

PICKOFF ATTEMPTS

L2+Double Tap is the casual move.

L2+Hold is the Deceptive move

L2+Tap is the Quick move

I played a guy today who kept taking a two-step lead at first base, but no matter what pitchout move I did, I just couldn't pick him off. His baserunners were above-average, but not 90+ speed demons. Here is one example where I just couldn't seem to get him out:

What was I doing wrong here to not be able to pick him off?

The pitcher in this play was Jack McDowell, who has a decent throwing arm with 70 strength. Is that just too low to ever be able to pick someone off?

Okay, I use offline franchise exclusively. In wondering if I found an exploit. If you watch the base runner he will be going through various motions and at one point he will get out of the athletic position and kind of stand up straight. I deliver the pitch when he stands up straight and he never seems to run. I've been doing it a few games now and haven't had anyone run on me with his strategy. Anyone else stumbled across this? To be honest, I hope it's not the case because that would be a cheap exploit, which in not into but I found it interesting at the very least. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
