3 moments them the missions. Exchanges, beat the reds, 5 xbh with reds, 10 hits with 2nd basemen. Load up your team and jump into events. It shouldn't take too long
I’ll try that if the moments continue to suck

When stealing the base, hit the steal button as soon as the catcher starts getting set.

Thats what I did too. You can even play the Reds on AS and get 8 points as well, so that's 33 program stars out of 50 without the moments. thats leaves just 3 of the eaiser moments. That stolen base one was IMPOSSIBLE. I tried it, but I never did it.

It's the smartest way. The hits part of the missions will just naturally happen.

These moments are donkey balls. I’ve played them so many times trying to hit a freaking homer I dont even want to use the card anymore. Like I’m tired of seeing it and don’t even want it on my squad. Whoever thought of this should have icy hot put on his balls. What’s next inside the park homer with Grandal. F U BP
True story. I lost an event game last event on a Yasmani Inside the Park homer

screw this game

I did the online stats for 20 points, beat the Reds for 8, exchanges for 5. So i only had to do 3 of them, which i used directional for.
Now trying to get 8 hits online. He is trash, one of the worst cards i have ever used. Up to 4 hits now, was batting .080 before i got 2 little infield hits with him. He must have the worst swing in the game. It is the biggest disappointment of the year for me that my favorite Reds player since Barry Larkin retired has one of the worst cards in the game.

Ya. That card is horrible. I would rather do those Moments with a copper player that has a good swing and more speed. Not sure what they are thinking asking for home runs from a card that doesn't hit many and stolen bases from a card that doesn't steal many. I do not want the card and do not need the stars, so I am just going to ignore that one.

Wasnt that tough honestly. Use Power swing and start bat location low to elevate for HRs. If you need a SB, stop at 1B on a gapper. Stealing is easy. Just wait for move home and move stick right quickly. No need to anticipate. Just be quick. I hit a lot of HRs in this. Also hit quite a few with a 3-2 Count. So be patient.

I sure am glad I got PS Plus last week. I was able to do exactly what you said and it was much easier than those 2 ridiculous moments. These Brandon Phillips moments were giving me flashbacks to the Jackie Robinson moments. I was able to complete those , but it was hell with no PS Plus back then.

And then the CPU slide steps and picks off when they want you to steal...I’m probably not gonna finish them
Just sux the fun out of it all together. I finished every one except the home run ones. At this point I might as well strap a straight jacket on and bang my head against concrete. Might be more enjoyable
For the Home Runs I use directional and hold thumb stick up and in to pull to left field the moment where you need 5 hits in 3 games 4 of my hits were HR. That is how I hit all the HR.
-
I would just try an be patient and use power swing. Eventually they will throw a hanging breaking ball that you can hit out
-
I made it through the moments last night. What a [censored] for so many reasons. The 1 steal 1 HR was the worst. Multiple times I hit a HR in the 1st AB just to have a Joey Votto on the bases in front of me every other AB. Finally I got smart hit my HR then with Votto on 1B I bunted hoping they would go for the lead runner and they sure did, I steal 2nd and done.

This guy always has to comment lol. Not you personally bro, just some guy that says “heck I did it first try. I don’t see what the problem is.” Lol

I can hit the homer just not steal a base. It’s annoying because he doesn’t have speed or power and those are most of the moments. Not just hits lol
Try taking one step off for the leadoff, and then go immediately when he starts his windup (you have to get a perfect jump) took me 3 trys but if i can do it anyone can.
Whats annoying is his team mates will swing at balls and strikeout. Thats very frustrating

I did that but they picked me off. It's better taking a chance I guess though!

Again, if they want to advertise his multi-dimensional power and speed when he was in his prime with moments to get home runs and stolen bases, actually make the card attributes reflect he had 30-30 power and speed.

Yup, this was a big fail, its a 2011 card and they want a 2007 moment. Should have been SS card or Prime

Yeah this BP card is underwhelming knowing it's the last time they'll have him in DD. He's one of the few 2B to ever post a 30-30 season yet in the past few years they haven't given him a 30-30 type of card.
