How to Steal a Base in Major League Baseball From 2K Sports for the PS2

Stealing bases in 2K Sports' "Major League Baseball" for PlayStation 2 gives you the opportunity to move runners into scoring position. You can cue the base runner to automatically steal a base when the pitch is thrown, or you can take full control, time the pitcher's delivery and try to steal the base yourself. Both methods can be completed using simple button commands.

Instructions

- 1
  Get a runner on base. You can steal any base on the diamond.
- 2
  Press "L1" to increase your runner's lead off of the base. Press "R1" to move the runner back closer to the base. If you get off too far from the base, the pitcher will likely attempt to pick off the runner.
- 3
  Hold the "square" button (the button on the left side of the right pad) and move the left joystick in the direction of the base you want to steal. This button combination cues the runner to steal as soon as the pitcher begins his motion. To cue a runner to steal second base, hold "square" and move the left joystick up.
- 4
  Press the left joystick in the direction of the base you want to steal. This method lets you choose the time of the steal. You might get a better jump using this method as opposed to cuing up a steal. For example, move the joystick left when you want a runner at second base to start running toward third base. When using this method, try not to start too early. You will get picked off by the pitcher if you leave well before the pitch is thrown.
