Stealing 2nd

[basebalfan3000]

How the heck do you steal second when there is a runner on third?I tried doing it how i used to in 15 the show but it won't work on 16 the show.

Point at the runner on first with the left stick, and hit L2. That should make just him steal.

With default settings, push L stick towards first and while holding it in that direction, press L2 until it vibrates, then release both.

As others posted, but I find that when I do this the runner at 3rd will attempt to steal home at times. Can be frustrating when playing a tight game online.

I have the same problem. Doing exactly as you guys are saying which is exactly how I did in the past couple of years.

I'm thinking that this may not have been a problem at launch because I'm 25 games into my franchise and I only just started experiencing it at game 23 or 24. Now I steal a lot and I can't say for sure that I've not stolen 2nd with runners on 1st and third, but I feel like I've probably done it and it worked fine.

Is vibrating absolutely necessary. Through brief trial and error, I've abandoned waiting for it to vibrate. I need to revisit it, but there is definitely a difference between:

Holding/Vibrating/Releasing L2 vs Simply tapping L2

I might be mistaken, but I no longer wait for the vibration (at least I don't think I wait). Holding/vibrating/releasing L2 seems to always cause all baserunners to steal.

The following youtube video definitely helped.
