Help Needed - 3rd Base Runners Auto Stealing Home

[RobertArmstrong78]

Hi All,

can someone help me with a problem ?

Sometimes when I have a runner on third he will try to steal home seemingly without me pressing any of the shoulder buttons.

does anyone else have the same problem ?

Hmmm...this issue was raised by a few guys last year. I've never seen it, but out of curiosity I tried to replicate it by playing 3 games and putting a runner on 3rd at all times....still didn't see it. I have to believe its a real issue though because there were several guys taling about it last year.

The only thing that was ever mentioned as a possible cause was overly sensitive shoulder buttons....

Never seen it in over 60 games. You would think if it was an issue I'd have seen it by now. Also there is a bugs thread this should be in......

My guy stole home once when I didn't do anything, the catcher just threw to the pitcher like nothin was going on, I stole home and got a run, but it was like it never happened was wierd.

that happens on all bases.
i see it on runners on first.
i thought it was cool that th manager sent the runner.
but now i see its a glitch ol

My nephew used to have this problem quite a bit. We finally figured out that it would happen when he had a lefty batter and was guess pitching for something outside. Apparently he wasn't pressing B well enough, long enough, or something enough, and he was ultimately selecting the runner on third accidentally when pushing the left thumbstick to the left. Then when he would attempt to swing with a contact swing by pressing X, he was in effect sending the runner home unknowingly. Check your guess pitch selection mechanics and make sure you are not doing the same thing he was. He never wanted to admit that's what was happening, it's always more inviting for a kid to blame it on the game rather than to admit they were actually doing something to cause the problem, but we pretty much concluded that was what the problem was. It doesn't happen anymore, so I'm guessing that was it. Hope that helps.

i did this last year a few times when i was learning to use guess pitch. i would guess left side and press x to do a warmup swing and it would send my runner home because i was still holding left on the stick. when i stopped using guess pitch, i stopped having this problem.
