Andre Dawson Team affinity moment is a pain
-
Idk what it is about this moment but it is a pain in the [censored], it's on rookie mode and you need 3 Xtra base hits and idk if I'm just being over confident because it's on rookie mode but I swear when I get on the ball with him it's either a hard hit single or a fly out or line out
-
How about 5he Killebrew hit 1 home run. I've been walked 8 times in 4 games. 8! I had no idea Ohtani's control was this bad.

I mean i'm just watching ohtani throw balls. I could be watching a movie or playing another moment but i just can't walk away from this moment.
Update he's walked me another 6 times.

What I find the most annoying is this is considered “rookie” to SDS. I don’t need to play rookie, but if your gunna call it rookie and it be the easiest setting in the game..... a kid should be able to do it and enjoy it while he does.
I can make WS and finish showdowns 0-15 at a pretty good % but I sat there for 20 minutes before the game gave me 8 total bases with Vlad. This is 20 minutes of not striking out once and making solid contact 4/5 at bats every single game for 20+ games until I finally manage two doubles and a dinger. Imagine some kid trying to do this or even a person who’s eyes are bad, maybe just a bit slow, 90 moments could take MONTHS with how random it plays.
We should be able to choose difficulties and be rewarded for what we do it on. They shouldn’t force good players to play on low difficulties and even worse low players to play on faulty difficulties they pass off as rookie.

Dawson rakes, so actually didnt take too long, however that Vlad moment sucks. His power is vs RHP and you need a HR vs Matz a LH Sinker pitcher. I swear SDS doesn't think about that type of stuff. Its doable, but takes q long time.

I kinda disagree with you. I think SDS knows exactly what they are doing and their intent is to frustrate you and make it take longer. You end up swinging at pitches out of the zone because you rarely get a strike let alone a strike you can drive for an XBH or HR. I think its all part of the plan really.
-
The moments on rookie always give me trouble. It's the timing that throws you off. When you're so used to veteran/all star in these moments the one on rookie can really offset your groove.
My advice is to sit back a bit longer on pitches and power swing.

What about when you go like 25-30 with bichette with 24 singles when you need 3 XBH. What's the move?!

Don't get me started on that Moment! Couldn't pick up the ball out of Otani's hand worth a [censored]. Finally got a HR after 20+ attempts. I was so frustrated.

are you power swinging? I think the bigger PCI on normal swings leads to more line drives/singles.
-
I feel like when you have a Rookie size PCI you tend not to square up as good because the PCI is so large we tend to not move the icon as much and therefore hit it off center. All star is the best balance between lining up pitches against the PCI icon IMO.

I'm just giving you [censored]. Lol. I got it done eventually normal swinging. These moments are just random and that's the issue most people are having.

Yeah an easy moment made difficult, because Ohtani owns me. I finally beat him in al west Showdown after a dozen tries. Finally never have to play division Showdowns ever again
-
I did it, finally a homerun with Killebrew , that only took 40 some odd trys lol.
-
So I figured out something for hitting homeruns when needed when you just can't seem to get the power needed.
- Power swing. If you need XBH, power swing with guys like Dawson who don't have 100+ power stats.
- Switch to retro for your hitting view. Dead serious. Don't know what it is but I seem to pick up those lower pitches better and crush them.
-
It is honestly easier for me to accomplish moments on all star. I think it is the pitch speeds that cause most of the issues. Also the fact that the computer really gives you maybe 1-2 pitches per at bat to swing at.

I did that one in my 1st attempt. I struggled with the T Hunter HR, and Pujols 3XBH ones so far.

Good advice, for sure, but IMO nobody wants to work the count on rookie.
This is the part of this game that is driving me away to other games.
