Stealing 2nd, with runner also on 3rd?

Stealing 2nd, with runner also on 3rd

I had 1st & 3rd, my speedster on 1st. I wanted him to steal 2nd to get in scoring position, but my runner at 3rd to stay put.

I hit L1 for both to take a lead. Then I hit L2+O and released. Unfortunately both runners went and I got tagged out at home.

Did the both go because I led both with L1? I was under the impresion from the game manual that L2+O is the command specific ONLY to the runner on 1st. (O runner)

Thoughts?

Use L3 to target a runner (as you do while normal baserunning), and then press L2 while targeting to instruct that runner to steal.

Thank you nomo, I also was looking for the same answer.

Is it possible that you accidentally held onto L2 without still holding onto O? I use Classic Baserunning, and I just hold onto O, and then tap L2 and let go of both when I'm ready to queue up my steal -- this way I don't accidentally send both runners.

This is exactly how I do it. Press O FIRST, then L2...

I think I held L2 and hit O..... that must be my error :o

It literally says how to steal each specific base on the screen under the runner windows.

You'll feel a slight feedback vibration if you've done it correctly.

It says L2+O but when you do it that way they both will go. It should say O+L2.

I've tried that and I had both runners attempt to steal

I do what the commands say under the runner window and it has worked every time.
