dabanara Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 ok so i take about 4 steps, then hold the button and release it when the pitcher throws but i'm always thrown out by a mile, or if i try to take off a bit early, i always get picked off. i only even attempt with fast runners, but i can't buy a steal. any tips on stealing or is my frustration what everyone else is experiencing? the only time actually got a SB was when my guy was picked off and somehow still was called safe. on the flipside, the CPU has a 100% steal rate on me. my throw is always late, not even close.

packersfan Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, this is a problem...for some lame reason I'll take off and the pitcher will hold the ball and then pick me off!!! Lame.

Bsktblking25 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 yea i agree man. it's very frustrating. i've only thrown out 1 cpu batter out of 7 or 8. I have an Indians franchise and Grady Sizemore leads the league with 24 SBs. However, I got caught stealing 16 times. Not very efficient haha. Sometimes i just hope the pitcher has a slow release or the catcher throws it off-line.

electro_cute Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 1. wait for a good count. don't steal on 0-0. try to guess when the pitcher will throw a breaking ball, a changeup or a curveball. something slow and down. 2. take 3 steps and hold. 3. as soon as you see him going in the windup release and then dive at the end of the play. i steal around 70%, but i always use fast guys like ellsbury.

gobluen07 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah stealing is a problem I've seen ichiro get caught way to many times the only time I can get one is if the catche makes a bad throw. You can't really turn the baserunner speed up too high or you will beat out routine ground balls.
