I have actually executed this before but need to do a better job getting in position. I'll focus more on this. Thanks.
Previous versions of the game had a quick throw where you could depress L2.
I just broke down and bought a PS4 - I like the classic modes where the meter appears where the faster you start the meter the faster the player responds. I think this is somewhat glitchy because I have some plays where pitchers just stand there with the ball then throw to 1st allowing the runner to beat it out. The PS4 is a lot faster than the PS3 version.
I'm rambling now but thanks for your input. It is appreciated.
