Perfect steal, every time

[JoeCoolMan24]

Maybe this is something that has always been in the game and I am late to discovering it, but there seems to be a glitch of sorts that allows for a perfectly timed steal, every single time. Pretty much the ONLY way you can get caught stealing is to be picked off, but since it's a perfect jump, you don't have to take any lead off steps, so they rarely throw over.

You just tap R2, it will vibrate. And as very instances the pitcher twitches, your guy takes off for 2nd. I figured this out during my base-stealing training, and I haven't been caught stealing since.

So this doesn't bother anyone else? Alrighty then, I guess I'll just steal my 200 bases a year with 100% success and pretend like it's not broken.

File a report in the Bugs/Glitches thread, if you haven't already.

And if it's really a bother, you can just not use it. It's not like that's the only way to steal a base

I don't want to file a report until I see its not just my game doing this.

Yea I noticed this too...I think i read it in a few other places that pickoffs are way too prevalent too...the cpu even gets picked off. Stealing is a major part of the game so I hope this gets fixed in a patch

Pick offs have been pretty high. It was much more of a problem when I first got the game in RttS. My CPU teammates were getting picked off often.

Since I started my franchise, it's been less of a problem, but it still happens in higher rates than the past MLB the show titles. I have even picked off the CPU about 2-3 times already, which is already 2 times more than I did last year.

Definitely not 100% for me, I've played a lot of Cubs-Pirates matchups during the course of gameplay testing and I've been gunned by Russell Martin with Emilio Bonifacio attempting to steal 2nd several times. I've also successfully stolen off Yadier Molina, so it does go both ways.

None of my stolen bases have come with an extra leadoff. More often than not I get picked off as soon as I try to take that extra step.

I think he was talking about in RTTS mode, but I could be mistaken
