How Do You Steal 1 Player?

[indycolts727]

I can't for the life of me figure this out. I'll have a man on 1st and 3rd and I want to steal with just the guy on first. I've tried pointing L-stick left and holding down L2 until the pitcher moves - both runners steal. I've tried pointing L-stick left and then pressing L2 once the pitcher moves - nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

You "pre-load" the steal by pointing the left stick to 1st base (to the right) and pressing and releasing L2 before the pitcher delivers his pitch.

Point the left analog stick to the right and press L2, and the runner on first will steal.

Or you can hold L2 and release it when you want for a manual jump

This is the weirdest thing for me. I cannot get this to work on ps4. The runner on 3rd always runs. But never had this problem on ps3. Weird just weird.

So if you just press l2 with the direction the runner will steal once the pitch is pitched?

start by letting us know which base running style you use

its probably the default one where you use the left thumb stick point it towards first base then hit L2. the problem is, the guy on 3rd will start to steal EVEN if you never pointed the left thumb stick to the 3rd base.

That's exactly the problem I'm having. I had two 1st-and-third situations last night and I even paused the game to check the controls. First time I held LS towards 1b and held down L2, releasing it once the pitcher started his motion: both runners went. Second time I held LS towards 1b and pressed-and-released L2 once pitcher started motion - neither runner went. I just can't get it to work right. Using DEFAULT controls by the way.
