Stop leading off and I'll stop stepping off. The game already gives you one step by default.
Hahah I knew this would be first comment "stop leading off and I won't throw" literally knew this comment was coming. How about you throw 2 or 3 times and if you dont get me then the game goes on. In MLB I dont think it's even allowed for a pitcher to throw 30 straight times to first base cause the player took a 1 step leadoff extra. If you cant throw me out on the first 20 attempts then fuhk off and play the game.
It's players like you that make online games unbearable. You guys that sit there with their 99 speed CAP on 1st base and just think I'm going to be fine with you taking an extra step especially with that speed. I can step off 30 times or throw over 30 but you still feel obligated to take another step. What does that say about you?
I was actually "threatened" with being reported earlier because of this exact situation. Lol Pathetic.

Its realistic for a super speedy guy to take an extra step leadoff it's what they do. It's not realistic to throw to that base 30 times.
It's pretty realistic for pitchers to keep speedy guys close. Because in real life if pitchers throw over a couple times, the runner doesn't just take the same lead everytime, He'll stay a little closer to the bag if he knows the pitcher is watching.
Yes but if that speedy guy can take 1 extra step and still avoid being thrown out at 1st then its something the pitcher has to deal with and perhaps do a pitch out or a quick pitch. Not throw 20 more times.

Except that doesn't happen in real life, it's a fact that a runner will stay closer to the bag if he knows the pitcher is watching. He doesn't take the same lead every single time,
You wanted to bring the real life argument into this, well that's real life, they don't take the same lead every single solitary time if a pitcher throws over.

Do what a real major league pitcher would do and do a pitch out and gun him out stealing.

It's already hard enough to throw strikes on the corners, now you want me to waste a pitch hoping that that was the time you decided to steal? Gtfoh!
The real question is, why do you feel obligated to take the extra step with a fast guy? If he was big and slow you wouldn't take it would you? So why does speed lead you to an extra lead?
I can throw over 100 times and never get you out. So the game is already in the runner's favor. So just sit there and take the extra bag with your speed if you do hit it in the gap.
What SDS needs to do is take away the extra lead all together.

Hey bud, I've got all day. You keep leading off, I keep stepping off. I'm not going to risk an error or pitcher stamina by trying to pick you off, because you know as well as I do a pick off usually isn't successful.
You think you're entitled to an extra lead? I'll step off.
-
The problem isn’t pickoff attempts, it’s how often players with a high steal rating get bad jumps.
-
The way you make it sound, it’s as if you truly believe you’re entitled to that extra-step. What a terrible argument you’ve tried to make btw. How about worrying about advancing your runner by getting a hit with the guy at the plate? Not cheesing your way to swiping an easy bag because of that giant lead. Pick-off cheese?? Lol smh.

What SDS needs to do is change the way lead offs are done. We have some analog/pressure inputs, it's past time they're put to use. Hopefully next-gen will see a change.

If a known speedster kept taking too big of a lead when I pitched on college I would throw over majority of the time. Nearly impossible to pick someone off in this game unless they are actually committed to stealing prior to throwing over. Problem is in this game you can snap throw as soon as they take a step or vary your move.
That said stealing is what it should be as long as they allow quick pitching with balks off.

I can't stand your thought process in this and I wish you nothing but failure in this regard. If you don't want the whole sequence of pick offs, just don't take the extra step. Basically you're saying let me get to second base for free if you don't get me after 2 attempts. And when a guy doesn't give it to you (which is 100% normal and understandable) you come over here crying about it. You're the problem, not him.

Love playing that game. I’ll step off as many times as you take a lead. Or I’ll just hold the ball for different amount of times with the pitcher. Love that game even more. Then there is also the slide step. So many options to pick from!!!
-
OP playing the way you do is lame. I’ll just step off all day against Cheesers like you.
-
I bet this guy tries to score from second on a routine grounder because he hopes you arent paying attention too.
He seems like that guy.

No, what’s realistic is the runner wouldn’t be taking that much of a lead after a couple throws. Your argument is absolutely terrible, and I hope you get picked off and thrown over at all game and every game.

Every year, month, week, someone comes on here to post about how they are entitled to take as big a lead and steal as many bases as they want. And every year, month, week, the community informs them that they are not.

This same guy wants to do this but complains about knuckleball cheese.
Is he the pot or kettle?

Just wants the world to revolve around him. “I never do anything wrong, but everyone is against me”
-
He thinks that just because he got someone fast on base that he’s entitled to steal the next one. Incredible.

I have Rickey & anger gunned all the time!
