niceonedave Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Has anyone ever managed this? If so what do you have to do? I was messing about and put the level to Rookie and altered all the sliders to make it rediculously easy, just to try and steal home. But I still can't do it. If its a wild pitch it doesn't get ruled a steal, but when its not a wild pitch then the catcher just dives at me and I can do nothing. Should I try a certain type of slide to get by him? Or does anyone have any other tips? This is about the only thing I have to do to get all the 'In-Game' bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassub Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I've done it only twice before. I took a huge leadoff from first and third (2 baserunners), and they tried to pick me off at first, but I ran home. The other time it was the same situation, but they tried a pitch out to a RHB so it went away from 3rd and I was able to come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyMcM93 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I've only accomplished this feet once. It was mostly luck. I had Scott Podsednik on third and Tadahito Iguchi at first. I took a big lead with Iguchi and Podsednik. I acidentally hit the all runners advance button and it was a pitchout. Podsenik slid in and was called safe. It was a pure fluke, but i stole home.

hitting_help? Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've done it a few times and without a pitchout. I created a player with 99 speed, pulled the base stealing slider all the way up to +50 on rookie, but... I also managed to do it with Joe Morgan and I think some others whose speed was around 90ish. Plus I use keyboard so I can't control leadoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 That's not really considering 'stealing home'. Actually IT IS considered stealing home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils6889 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 a couple of times the pitcher tried to pick me off at 3rd and i tried to retreat, but by some glitch my runner magically appeared like an inch away from home plate waiting for me to send him home.

tywiggins Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think the best way to do it is to have runners at first and third. It might make it a little easier if there are 2 outs also. (I actually only consider doing it if there are 2 outs) Have the runner on first steal, and the runner on third stay close to third. If the catcher throws to second, you need to have the runner on third go home. It helps if the play at 2nd base is close, so the fielder has to apply a tag.

jhath Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 yup ive done it that way twice... works but the situation is pretty rare that you can afford the possibility of the guy goin to 2nd getting out.. and it does gotta be close enough for a tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitting_help? Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hmm... I did it with just a guy on third and nothing else, and no pitchout. Lucky I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hmm... I did it with just a guy on third and nothing else, and no pitchout. Lucky I guess. Before, you said you did it with a guy on 99 speed with speed sliders at +50 and on rookie mode. I wouldn't exactly call that lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
