Home Run Robbing

@saintleo14_psn said in Home Run Robbing:
Has anyone actually robbed a HR this year? I used to rob them often last year. Now, even with Diamond fielders, I haven't robbed a single one. I was so excited when they announced that players would have a wider range of motion in robbing HR's.
So far, haven't seen it at all.
Have you faired any better?
ive robbed three in the last week. none before then
-
I’ve robbed a homer twice this year and one was with common fielding Trey Mancini.
-
I have 2 online and got robbed once online. Robbed on showdown 300+ times.
-
I have robbed one, wish I could do it like the CPU in moments or conquest, lol.
-
Ive gotten one maybe two, but ive also had the ball go over not close to the arrows and have had the top arrow go green way too soon and im starting to come down when ball goes over.
also never have been able to climb the wall only jump, think you need to do it on the run, but either ball flies so quick youre not close to the wall yet or it flies so slow that you stand there with enough time to read the paper and make a sandwich first. -
Only 1.
Question
The 3 arrows, do you jump on the 3rd arrow when its highlighted, or is it the (invisible) 4th arrow? Such as 1,2,3 then jump on 4?
I think its the jump on 4 bit, but tbh its so [censored] hard i have no idea.
-
I finally got one recently, it was my first and I’ve had the same experience as you...the last two years I’ve played, I had robbed a fair share of homers, I guess I naturally had the e timing down to at least give myself a chance each time, but the new indicators have completely thrown me off.
I had meant to go in and see if they could be turned off for that very reason. -
Robbed one with Clemente and got the wall climb animation. I swear I feel like I've had like 10 robbed from me though.

i have robbed 2 or 3 this year in RS or events online - i hardly play offline - also i really love high defence OF so i am sure that has a hand in it

To climb the wall you have to be running towards the wall and I hold R1/RB and he will scalle/climb the wall.

Haven’t robbed any that I can recall. I’m not sure I even understand the arrow system. Are you supposed to be at the peak of your jump when it goes full green or is that when your supposed to make your jump? Also it seems like you have to be extremely accurate in lining up with the arrows.

After doing a little research, it would seem that you have jump on the invisible 4th arrow.

Only player that is capable of this for me is the immortal Byron Buxton POTM. Man I love his card, even this many months later!!!
-
I'm not sure on the actual number but have to be hitting close to double digits when combining both robbing and being robbed. I think I have robbed around 5 or 6 and been robbed 4 or 5 times.

I rob about 1 every 1-2 weeks. I have about the same taken from me. It's all about timing. Also, I shift my outfielders to play deep a lot. Note it's almost all online. I never really rob computer hrs though.
-
I had more success with it last year. I’ve robbed prob somewhere between 5-10(in a LOT of games played) and I’m sure I’ve had around the same robbed from me. I’ve missed so many opportunities. I still have no idea how to time it. You’d think once that last arrow turns green you should jump but It doesn’t seem to time it right most of the time.
-
robbed 1. been robbed by CPU in moments more times than i can begin to count.
-
I think I got 2 or 3.
First one I had though was in the moonshot event, I also turned my only triple play of the year so far to end that game to.
-
This was one of my robbed home runs this year. Timed perfectly!
