Stolen Bases

[bmill777]

I take an additional step lead and push back towards first with the L stick while holding down R2, this way any time they pick I get back safely. Has always worked in the past, this year however the baserunner will head back to first half way thru his attempt....anyone else seeing this?

I've had success pressing L2 to steal and then holding L1 until the pitcher makes his move to the plate.

I stole second last night on default HOF with Swanson, who has a 70-something speed rating and a 50-something steal rating. On default All-Star, I was 5-for-5 with Acuńa (including a steal of third) and 2-of-3 with Albies.

Since you're not taking an extra step, the CPU won't automatically throw over. But be warned, if you're using this method and the CPU does throw over, you're dead.

Interesting. So essentially, you’re holding both L2 and L1 and then releasing them both when the pitcher makes his move home?

Press and release L2 to pre-load the steal. Then press and hold L1 until the pitcher makes his move to the plate. So you're only holding L1.

Yep....I finally found my rhythm again with this method. I was having a rough go with Trea Turner but finally got my timing back with this.

Been stealing bases like this for years and we are back at it again. But let me tell you.....the simply pre-load is awful. The Jumps are simply terrible this cycle and if you do not use this method Lowerwolf is talking about your success rate will be brutal. And that is with very good base stealers.

So load the steal up with L2 and then hold L1 until delivery? I thought the runner would jump the second you pressed L1, I’ll have to try this because I’m struggling on the base paths

Holding L1 simply makes him lean towards second
