Problems With Base Stealing

[rows24]

I play with Yankees all the time. When i hit up on the Logitech directional pad to steal 2nd the runner always gets thrown out. Its like he leaves 4 seconds after you hit the button. Does anyone else have this probelm?

I do - I get thrown out 97.3493329 % of the time

That's because of the Steal Delay. Theres not enough time for the runner to begin running after you have told him to get his 2 ;eads before the pitcher throws his pitch. Go to the sliders and adjust the Human Steal Delay. I think it's -1 thru -50 for less delay. If it's not try +1 thru +50

Test it out first with the 50 first and then adjust it to something good. Or if you want it preset then use the Pro Sliders Download or the All-Star Sliders found in the forum.

A negative steal delay value means less delay (i.e. the runner takes off quicker), while a postive steal delay value means more delay. What you want to do is start making the steal value more and more negative until you get a realistic number of stolen bases.

Yeah stolen bases are kinda ridiculous this year. I built my team based on speed and it didnt mean squat. I set my steal delay to -7 that is not too bad, but it still doesnt seem quite right. I got thrown out on a 75mph curveball w/ a guy w/ 90+ speed. Im probably going to set it at -10. I really dont like to change the sliders i feel it is cheating in a way, but its pretty much impossible to steal the way they are now.

I get stolen bases like crazy. One game I had 7 attempted stolen bases, and I only got thrown out twice. I don't know why it's ridiculous for anyone else.

I can also catch the CPU stealing most of the time unless I hold the button too long and the throw goes off line. I had to bring up one of my AAA catchers because my other 2 got hurt, and even he is 3/4 on throwing runners out.
