Knowing when a base is being stolen.

Re: Knowing when a base is being stolen.

Ya know, I wish there was an on/off option to have your catcher auto-throw on steal attempts, sorta like you can decide to warm up pitchers or just let them be automatically warmed.

That could be tough in regards if you would like cpu's decision on not straight forward situations. There are times where you don't want to throw through.

I hate when a player tries to steal 3rd because half the time I just instinctively throw the ball the 2nd anyway...

lol same. I was so glad when they added throw cancelling.

Re: Knowing when a base is being stolen.

This is one of my biggest gripes with gameplay on The Show. Sometimes I have sound on. Sometimes I do not. Either way, unless I'm listening to the crowd, there's no way to know. They need an option for a visual indicator or probably more appropriately controller feedback. Especially for, and I had never thought of this until reading that reply further up, those who are deaf.

In PYS they used a quick screen flash on the first base side to give you an indicator, that worked pretty well.

I think this would do the trick. An option to turn this on/off would be great I think.

If Vasgersian doesn't tell me in time, I'll have no idea the runner is moving. Very annoying. I agree, some kind of indicator on the screen or a controller rumble would be a big help.

If you have your yells coming out of you dual shock, you will hear the players on the field say Runner!!! real loud, from the speaker on the DS4.

Re: Knowing when a base is being stolen.

The trouble with the rumble is that in a tense situation, the controller is already vibrating.

So, It would be tough to figure out if it was a runner attempting to steal, or your 3-1 count with the go-ahead runner at first.

A visual clue, or some sort of tell, if the runner windows are off, would be a welcome addition.

Re: Knowing when a base is being stolen.

In real life a catcher doesn't wait for someone on the field to tell him a runner is trying to steal a base, seems rather silly that there is no on-screen indicator.
