Is Picking Off The Computer Even Possible?

I've never even seen a computer base runner take a lead, and I've never even come close to picking someone off. Is it even possible?

Nope. I played an entire season in my franchise and never even had the CPU slide back into first. He always was in standing up. The run game needs a serious overhaul.

Re: Is Picking Off The Computer Even Possible?

I've picked the cpu off once. When I threw over he didn't react and when he tried I tagged him out. Only time I've done it.

The cat and mouse of the run game is sadly missing from this game.

I never even risk a pick off, I learned my lesson that there's a good chance it is going into the stands.

Exactly where I am on this too. Don't even bother.

To lower the stealing chance I'll do a slide step with my pitcher occasionally, but I usually just throw a heater on the second pitch which is where they usually start running.

Not sure why they can't fix this with an update.
