Every single time a pitcher goes to pick my player off, no matter what I press, my player stands stationary as he gives up a free out. I am at the point where all I can do is hope they don't go for a pickoff. I notice it right away, I push the left thumbstick back to the bag, nothing happens. Someone suggested constantly holding the stick back toward the base but that doesn't work either.
I can't seem to get stealing to work either. I've tried turning on autobaserunning but it apparently does not work in RTTS. I am playing on beginner. This is extremely frustrating. I have been shown the tutorials for batting, pitching, and fielding multiple times for some reason, but not for baserunning. It basically breaks the game for me, and then I have my in game coach chew me out for being completely worthless at stealing. If anyone has any help I would appreciate it.
