    2 Base stealing questions

    Are people here having sucess stealing bases without having to take a huge lead and relying on an inaccurate throw by the AI? With excellent base stealers I am dead in the water all the time, the only way I steal the base is if the catcher makes a poor throw. If anybody here is having success what is your base running speed at?

    On the flip side, anybody have success throwing out the AI? Are you just using the right stick to throw them out? Did you adjust the throw out slider at all?

    Thanks

    as for the base stealing, you cant run on the first pitch, and youhave to wait until you face a pitcher with a very deliberate delivery. i bet your running on the first pitch, which is a mistake because the cpu will throw fastballs most of the time to try and get ahead in the count. also, try doing a quick game against king felix. see how long it takes him to get the ball to the plate? just like in real baseball, some pitchers are easy to steal against, and some are impossible to steal against. stealing was done amazingly well this year. (p.s. to get the steal home achievement, i used jose reyes to steal against felix)

      As stated earlier, you can not steal if the pitcher throws a fastball. I have yet to steal a base even with players with 96 or above speed. You usually can get a steal with a quick baserunner if you wait until you think the pitcher will throw a slider, curve or change. Same way with defending a steal. Usually you can throw out a runner if you throw a fastball, but you have to have a really quick reaction with your throw.

        Thank you guys, as long as its challenging and not a glitch ill keep working at it

        How about throwing out the AI? I sthere another way to do this other than using the right stick? Everytime I use the Right stick the catcher throws from his knees.

          to throw out the ai, i just let the meter get all the way to the top of the red. it usually works. i throw out 75% of baserunners.
