@raesONE- He can do what I said and won’t have to remap his controller. Changing to one button will allow him to use either R1 or R2 to either dive or jump depending on the situation. I verified it when I played a game.
I'm aware, but since he said he can't use R1 for one reason or another, I wondered if maybe he can't use R2 for the same reason. So I offered an alternative.
I figured when he said it was the one he couldn’t use that he was okay with R2. He can’t change it to anything on the face of the controller without eliminating all the bases he has to throw too. Maybe they have an auto jump and dive that I forgot about but not auto fielding?

One of the directional buttons would be an option

It's not a big deal. Like @raesONE-_PSN stated; timing is a factor. I wasnt that great at robbing then when I had use of both hands.
-
It’s the imaginary 4th arrow for timing.
Tbh I’ve robbed maybe 2 all year. It’s tough.
I did have a guy I was playing catch it in his glove then it popped out over the board for a HR.

@lewisnadasurf1_PSN In my franchise I had it bounce off Outman’s shoulder and over the wall. At first I thought it hit his head like the Canseco blunder from the 90s but it was his shoulder.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X
I wish you well on your current fight and full recovery for you. Sounds like a horrible injury, but I am glad you have a brave and determined approach to this!My injury was no where close to yours, but I find it striking how much of my physical ability I took for granted in my youthful, healthier years. My distal bicep tendon literally ripped off my elbow radius bone in an auto accident a few years ago. The nerves that run down from the elbow to the wrist/hand are very sensitive. So, my left thumb (pci control) does not always move where, and when, I want it to. I still get this weird tingling in my hand at times and it's very irritating. However, even though I have some issues moving left PCI accurately, I still do better with Zone hitting than using Timing or Directional.

@xElRojo44x_MLBTS I have no words to cover what our friend @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN is going through other than god bless and hope all goes well. I can sympathize with your pain. I had carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery over the years and it’ll hit me at the wrong time right during a game and 🤬 does it suck.

Start sprinting towards the wall where the indicator is and then hit the jump/dive button (R1 if I recall correctly) when you get to the wall. Timing is key; jump too early and you won't have enough hangtime to make the catch, jump too late and the ball will already be over the fence.
Dang. So the one button that I CANT press. Lol. Thanks though.
Don't mean to pry, but how come you can't press R1?
Also, you could remap buttons in the PS settings under accessibility. That would save you spending on a new controller with back paddles. Just remap R1 to a button you don't need/use. Just be mindful that this change will carry over to every other game as well, so if you don't want that you'll need to toggle it on/off as you go.No you can pry. I forgot you were on 'sabbatical' most of the year.
Back in June I had neck surgery (fusion) and when the Dr pealed back one of the old (2003) fushions, to replace it, I had a Spinal Cord Infarction. Pretty much a stroke that affected my arms and legs.
Through MONTHS of rehab, that's still ongoing, I regained full movement in my left side. My right leg us about 90% and my right arm, minus my hand, is at 80%. My right hand is at 40-50%.
I can only use one hand to play right now.
Now you're scaring me a little. I had a C3-C6 fusion last year. Other than the cool train track looking x-rays, it's sucked a whole lot. It's why I can't feel my thumb and my neck muscles always feel overused. On the positive side, the numbness that runs in a line from my neck to thumb goes over the best vein in my arm to draw blood from.

@BxnnyMxn_ I’ve robbed maybe three home runs in 10 years of playing this game. I’ve got full use of both my hands and I can’t even cover the whole strike zone.

Ahh a kindred spirit lol
I can stand there on a short fence and I always just invariably watch it fly over by an inch. The one time I ever robbed a hr was with Michael Harris and it was a bullet where I was still trying to catch up to the ball when I reached the fence and he literally ran up the fence and caught it over his shoulder it was truly a thing of beauty but it had absolutely zero to do with me lol I was just mashing buttons hoping it would make me run faster and happened to get there at the precise moment. Couldn’t do it again in a hundred years

Well you mashed the right one at the right time. My count is also at one. Two years ago, I think. Difference was, I knew the right button. Just took the first couple years to figure it out what it was. Now I'm just using my disability as an excuse. Dam you thumb!
-
I've robbed 2 earlier on in the game but haven't robbed any since
-
I robbed a HR with Eric Davis in 19 but I cannot recall any since then. A few leaping catches that may not have left the yard along the way however.
-
I've had more robberies diving for sinking liners than HR larceny, personally...probably because for some reason I'm terrible at timing the leap against the wall

I just had an EMG yesterday, the doctor is trying to figure out if nerve damage is causing me a very intense lower back pain. I wish I was more careful with my body when I was still an athlete and didn’t play through so many injuries.
Can’t even imagine what Freezeoff have gone through, I really hope you get back to 100% very soon @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN
