    How do you slide head first?

    I rented this game 2 days ago and I have to say I am having a blast with it. A few issues yes, but the pitching and batting are fantastic. And the no tag glitch really seems to only happen when I throw it too hard offline, so I think it's my fault most of the time anyway (even though with a really fast animation the tag could still be made).

    But I CAN'T STEAL A BASE!!! I take huge leads with fast runners and still can't make it, even when I slide.

    I thought I saw somewhere that someone said it is a must to slide head first. But Blockbuster of course gives me no manual. So how do you slide head first? And does it help stealing?

    I'm pretty close to deciding to pick this game up, it's just so much fun and such great presentation. But the stealing thing is getting to me.

    PS2 version: you press up on the left analog stick while pressing X.

        Great. Thanks for the quick response. Kerry Robinson is on first right now and I paused the game to see if anyone had the answer yet, so I'll go try it right now.

                        Yep, up and A on the XBox. Make sure you are pushing up on the stick, though, and not the D-pad. I did that a few times and finally realized what I was doing wrong when I tried the stick.

                        ....and don't leave us hanging- did Kerry Robinson get hosed at 2nd or what? LOL

                            Also, when you go to steal, use the d-pad to start your runner not the r trigger!
