1st time The Show player: how do I steal base with a single runner

Very simple and to the point - once you get it you should have NO issues:

Left analog points to the runner you want to control based upon the location in the bases window. The face buttons are always the same base you want to send them to: square is third base, triangle is second., etc.

Just point and queue. If that guy on first rounded second and you want him to go back, you should've pointed to him with the LS (up makes sense here since he was near the top of the diamond) and press triangle.

That's an early steal, To Queue up a steal you still press L2 while pointing with the left stick.

I was never at any point referring to stealing a base. His question also asked about running the bases.

Ok I'm probably just slow but let me get this straight...CLASSIC BASERUNNING.

If I have runners on 1st and 3rd and want to steal second, I hit O for the runner and UP with the LS and it'll que the steal? Or is it vice versa? SCEA really needs to fix this issue, it's ********. Any other baseball game I've played has never had an issue with this.

There isn't an issue. It's called customization.

If you want to steal on your own, you need to trigger it as close the the pitcher's movement to home as possible.

For those of us that want to just focus on hitting, or let ratings determine the jump, we can queue the steal.

Am I wrong or aren't the control schemes written in the game menus. Both in and out of game? Did you check there???

I'm not talking about stealing in general, I'm talkin SPECIFICALLY when you have runners on 1st and 3rd. Unless I'm an idiot, if you do it how the manual explains, you're gonna send the runner from third EVERY time and blow your chance to score. Its annoying, especially when I have Ichiro on first and want to put two players in scoring position.

point with the left stick towards first and press L2 to send only the runner on first base. runner on third will stay

but you have to hold the left stick in that direction while pressing L2. dont release it until you have pressed L2

Ok...does that que or pre-load the steal or do I do that when I want to send the runner?

I don't use Classic. I use the other one. I think it's called "New" but don't quote me on it.

L2 steals all
L1 leads all
R1 retreats all (shortens lead)
L stick right +L2 steals runner on first (queued steal if done pre-delivery).
L stick right + L1 leads runner on first
L stick right + R1 retreats runner on first (shortens lead)

All written with batting from behind the catcher as the perspective.

it will queue the runner to go when the pitcher starts his delivery. should get a confirmation by the controller vibrating when you input it
