    Just made a post in the DD section of this detailing my experiences getting picked off 4 times in 1 game lol

    And I have to be honest here, I was up 1 run in the 9th inning of an online game. My opponent got his first 2 guys on. After striking out the next hitter, I proceeded to pick off BOTH of his runners on consecutive attempts to win the game.

    Did I do anything wrong? No. Should that be part of the game? Probably not.

    @NatsChampions19 said in Runner at 2nd Pickoff:

    Are we going to discuss the fact that being almost automatically picked off when taking a one step lead is not even remotely realistic? Guys take leads all the time in the real sport and are not routinely picked off. I could understand being picked off most of the time with a 2-step lead, but 1 step, especially at 2B? Yet another flawed feature that needs to be fixed.

    Pickoff only usually works if the hitting team has taken an extra step AND pressed L2 to tell their player to steal. A step alone isn't usually enough to lead to a pickoff. When that is done, yes the pickoff rate might be unrealistic, although I would argue that the success rate on steals is also unrealistic if a runner has 1 extra step. And the implications of trying to counteract it via slidestep (significant increase in PCI size, chance of meatballs) is unrealistic. So in my opinion, they sort of offset. And it is why you see players pick off/step off so much if someone takes an extra step.

    I've been picked off 2B several times without initiating a steal. All I did was take a step.

    in 19 you could not pick anyone off, In 20 it is easy to pick people off. It usually takes more than one throw over to pick someone off.

    2 years ago, the developers had said in a pre launch stream that you already start with an extra step. If you take another, it's on you to risk being picked.

    How are people successfully doing this? I step off the mound every single time someone takes the extra step because I have thrown over 100s of times in the last couple years and have never once gotten anyone out? How is this done?

    2nd base is easy to pickoff just have your SS hold at 2nd

    I wish there was a quick menu or adjustment to do this. Because now if your opponent sees this they might just try and slap it through that huge void instead.
