Perfect steals?

This definitely should be fixed, although it does make grinding out diamond dynasty games vs computer easier.

You also can tell it's a glitch because most of the time the slow motion animation fails to occur when sliding into second base. It is actually one of the reasons I don't mind the glitch.

Sorry guys! 😣 It needs to be fixed ASAP. I'm really hoping they've seen this.

Noiziv, thanks for the tip! It's helped me tremendously.

This was definitely patched in the update, wasn't mentioned in any of the update notes specifically, but doing this now seems to guarantee an awful jump (unless I just got bad luck with a small sample size), now the only way I can try to steal is tapping L2 and hoping for the best, and there are close plays at second with Billy Hamilton running with one of the better jumps you can get from that.

I concur, this is fixed. It seems to behave just like when you simply tap L2 once now - it's dependent on a dice roll based on the runner's stealing ability rating.

You can still do the user-timed press/release steal too - but you actually have to time it yourself now.

Just came back to this thread to let everyone know that I noticed it was fixed as well! Glad that they listened and were able to fix it.

Did they fix the timing when you just press L2? The only reason this became such a big thing was because of how bad jumps were in the first place.
