Walks should count as hits or total bases
Walks or HBP, unless it's a Reach Base moment, should restart the at bat.
Get 2 XBH when in 4 at bats, the pitcher throws 1 pitch in the zone. That is freaking nonsense. We should not be punished for being patient, but we are because a walk does nothing.

The moments are great. Its baseball history

Moments are trash in the past,present and future. Moments do nothing but waste you're time. Short challenges with long load times,faceing platinum Glovers in the field making highlight reel plays, using dudes who should be power hitters that can hit a fly ball to save the planet or how you can need one more hit etc to finish a moment for the pitcher to walk/HBP to fail it. Prime example have tried 20+ times hitting a HR with a guy whos got 93 power iv hit 3 warning track shots not deep barely warning track. Walked twice hbp and base one balls. 7 times with a bases clearling double/triples and the rest have been a popout to shallow outfield or soft ground ball to a infielder
Not joking, this game is like 75% moments lol. If they got rid of them there would only be conquest, events and ranked seasons lol
Sounds like somebody has never hit circle in the DD menu?
-
Yeah, a few things.
Moments where you have to get xbh’s on top of hits, the randomness sucks. Perfect perfect single or at someone.
Far too often there ball to strike ratio is 2:1.
Fielding is absurd.
-
I'm not a fan of 3 hits in a game just because of the randomness involved, but otherwise they're not too bad. They're short and give decent rewards, so why get rid of them? As of right now I'm completed every moment currently in the game that you can access. I haven't reached the player program moments for the new daily program, but I don't think it's possible to get to them yet.

3 hits including a HR can walk off a cliff IMO.

Been playing the show for 5 years and other similar ball games for longer if thats the case id be a god by now brother
Then you should be able to do the moments lmao they aren't that hard. Some of them I'll get stuck on for like 20 minutes, but eventually I'll beat them and move on. They aren't that difficult. They're like rookie or veteran difficulty.
Being able to do them doesn't make them fun or entertaining.

I remember back in ‘17, only way to unlock the 99 griffey you had to hit 3HRs in an online game with his 92. Then people would IBB you every game
I'm not sure anyone got that done without boosting it lol

I have a like/hate relationship with Moments, meaning that I like the rewards you get from them, but I hate hate HATE doing them.
Isn't it just lovely when you need to tally bases, but it doesn't count if you walk, get hit, or reach on an error? Or when you have to hit a home run, but it's on veteran or higher and the player you have to do it with has trash contact against the pitcher? And when you want to reset the game and start over, you can't because it's part of a 3-game set?
Just like @JEEZY-E_PSN said, they're a punishment. I wouldn't hate them as much if they weren't so frustrating.

The Griffey thing sucked, but otherwise 17 had the best progression. Most programs were a combination of light stat grinding, in game missions, and exchanges. There were programs that required you to play 9 inning games with you DD squad. Plus you had My Career so that every hit, stolen base, strikeouts, etc. by any player counted for something.
Moments would be fine if they constituted far less of the offline experience, but as is they're no less of a chore than 18s immortal grinds.

I feel like moments are actually doable without spending huge amounts of $, compared to MLB 18. As much as I liked 18, I hated having to exchange all those souvenirs.
-
So far this year's moments have been really easy compared to the last two years.

Walks, HBP, and reaching on errors will never count because total bases is an actual baseball stat that doesn't factor in those things. It may suck in this game but they shouldn't count towards total bases
-
The souvenirs were great actually. I've never spent a dime beyond the actual game and the souvenir exchanges were the easiest part of those programs. All you had to do us buy a pack of hats or whatever, exchang what you needed and sell the rest. If anything it was a super easy way to make money.
-
Love this thread! Said it once, i'll say it again...they are the bane of my existence and I hate them all with every fiber of my being. Zero fun sir! Give me more stat based requirements like the april POTM missions. I'll do those all day, at least I'm playing an actual game. Moments can take a long walk off a short cliff.

Niether are solos in madden or 2k. You do the grind for the cards, not necessarily for the fun, but you still do them because you want the card. It was much worse before moments when you had to get stats with cards and you had to spend hours upon hours playing vs the CPU grinding stats for one card that will hit at most 5 times in a game. I think that the moments are the best solution for mlb to do "solo grinding" for cards.
-
I don't know if any of you remember what it was like before moments, when you had to play a whole game against CPU trying to get stats with just one player

I love the idea of moments. To me, reliving and playing big moments throughout history and the season could be very fun. Unfortunately SDS has it screwed up because they mess with the sliders to make them more difficult. It has become frustrating rather than fun.

While I agree, SDS also shouldn’t have up the sliders every pitcher is 50/50 ball and strike..of course until boss showdowns where they dot everything.
