Picking off runners and cheese
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL I don’t have a problem with stealing in general, but people being cheesy on the basepaths will be an auto quit in the event for me.

What do you mean rounding 3rd to advance from 1st to 2nd? That's not cheesy that's good base running. If you mean the guys who are good at running through pickles it's not that hard to not get caught off guard and simply throw it home. And don't fall for their stuff

Hes talking about how they start running as soon as the pitcher releases the ball and when they notice its a pitchout: they stop mid steal, as the catcher throws the ball to the second baseman, and run back to first base. Then they try to run back to second; if you have your second baseman throw back to first.
In past versions of the game, you could stop running and retreat back with ease. Either last year, or two years ago, SDS programmed it that the runner would "trip" once the stopped the steal. Its still "overpowered" though.

Some of you guys probably already know - but I did not know you could try to steal, and if the other player pitches out, you can retreat in time to almost never get caught.
Usually, I pitch out and then the other player tries to get in a pickle - and thats easy to deal with....just learn how to handle pickles
But what do you do with the guy that retreats super quick - it makes your pitch out useless. Do you try to throw behind him? How do you see quick enough that hes retreating? If you cancel catcher throw then try to throw behind, its too late.
Stealing is so broken, you just cannot win. Like, even if you pitch out at the right time and you're perfect at pickle plays - you're still screwed!
If they keep doing it; I'll eventually start throwing to first base, instead of second base, and try to catch them coming back.

@Rhyno1986_XBL Basically anything you would never see in a real baseball game. Rounding third and scoring from second on a ground ball to an infielder, intentionally getting in a pickle etc.

Lol yeah except you've actually seen that in real baseball. In fact there is a highlight of Javier Baiez getting in a pickle going to FIRST and the runner scoring from second. Just the other day there was a successful delayed steal of home where they intentionally slowed up so the runner going home would score. So guess you don't watch that much baseball huh
-
Well, you can’t run back to home in this game, so that’s a pretty dumb example. An anomaly here and there in real baseball is a lot different than D bags doing this regularly in this game. Play your games. I’ll just quit out and play someone who isn’t a douche.

I've tried to do it and I can't, idk how some people do it everytime
-
@GoozeFn_PSN exactly! The game is meant for me to enjoy and have fun. If I’m not having fun and enjoying the opponent I’m matched up with, I quit that game and try again.
-
I guess the answer is throw behind them.
SO now...even though I guessed right and pitched out...and their runner should be 100 percent dead...I have to play the 50-50 guessing game of what base to throw to???
And if I throw to first and he doesnt retreat...whelp...free steal for him.
How is stealing this easy and broken? Ill say all day that there are too many home runs in this game...but fix that, dont just make stealing free...
