Hello. I haven't been back due to no internet. I've recently became very good at pickoffs. Are any of you good at picking off runners?

No, I never even try haha. Since you say you've gotten good with it, is there anything that will make you realize the AI is about to steal?

Yeah, the runner takes a noticeably larger lead.

And the runner is shuffling his feet quickly most of the time he wants to steal. Gil does this all of the time, but he doesn't steal.

I haven't noticed that during season mode. Fast players take larger leads, in general. Have you noticed this in season mode?

For me, I find that I do a little better if I hold the ball a little longer than usual, but it could be my imagination.
