“I can’t beat _____ Moment/Showdown so the game is broken. Come on SDS”

Classic SDS defender post. I’m not looking for excuses, I’m looking for fun gameplay.
These moments are not on rookie or veteran. That is my entire point.
Clemente with almost max contact to both sides reveals the problems with the hitting in the game.

I HATE showdown. That being said, I knocked it out first try last night. Got 16/20 to start the final boss. Got it with like 15 outs left. Knocked out the whole Clemente program last night. If I can do it you can do it. I am not too good of a hitter, but am elite at pitching. It's funny, on another social media platform people were paying people to complete the program for them lol. Sad.

Unless you’re a top top player I’d probably beat you and I don’t like showdown because it’s random af. Haven’t done one since first inning until this one. Knocked it out first try but it’s not fun to good good out all over the place. I did enjoy the historic team builds though.
With that said I’d rather see people struggling come on here and post to vent their frustrations than someone come post something demeaning random people who are struggling.

Few things on this board bring me more joy then seeing higher level players complain about a moment that I was able to complete with minimal effort. I always think, "This person would probably destroy me online, but at least I'm better than them in at least one aspect of the game" and it gives me a confidence boost that makes me try even harder to improve.

There is a difference between venting your frustrations and seeking guidance, and flat out trashing the game/acting like there is some conspiracy against them. Fact of the matter this is a video game, and not all is going to be peachy and SDS honestly makes these missions/moments/events easy enough as it is, it's tiring to see people cry that they can't finish things in one try.

Never actually did a showdown for xp. Can you get the 35kish reward more than once?

Showdown is optional in most cases. If your an offline player then it’s a requirement.
That being said shouldn’t it provide a challenge. I just remember old sega games and arcade games that made it so easy in the first few rounds. Then a boss would show up and it’d be a quarter dump trying to find tendencies to beat said boss. It was challenging. It was rigged. Part of that experience made me resilient when playing games. Yes showdown can be a sweaty mess with odds appearing to be stacked against you. But over time I’ve learned of ways to build my team through showdown and pick proper perks.
The 5th inning program I bunted a lot and took speed guys and took perks that would enhance that play style. I also stacked my team with guys that could hit righties very well. If I know who the final boss is, that’s how I construct my team.

I don't know which one you're talking about, but I got it done on the first try, making no outs, using one hand, while watching a movie and eating popcorn, blindfolded.

God i love these posts.
The game isnt broken, you just need to get better. Plain and simple.
The game most certainly is broken. I love the get better posts.
*Baserunning is completely broken
*inconsistent results with same swings
*Balls going over wall but then teleporting in fielders glove
*Timing windows being inconsistentAnd that is just four off the top of my head. Yes the game is broken. Doesn't mean the game is not enjoyable because it most certainly is that.

How can you be better than the cpu god defense though?
by making better hits and stop blaming a game for your shortcomings or lack of talent / eye / patience at the dish etc.

You guys are so mean

i literally had a guy in an events game message me and ask me if i wanted to stat boost and we both throw fastballs down the middle.....really?

I look forward to being matched up with these guys, because as soon as they figure out you're not gonna cooperate they almost always quit and give you a free win.

I never comment on the individual threads because I don’t want to make the OP upset, but every moment is too easy if you are decent at the game. I just chuckle every time I see people complaining about hitting moments.

You’re the same guy who would complain all the time last year. Now you make comments like that? Odd.

For me, it is not a question of whether the moment is “too hard” and I need to “get better” in order to complete it.
I’ll complete the moments I need to. My issue is that it is not that much fun. Especially if you actually want to “get better” at the game, mindlessly grinding repetitive moments until you get a pitch to hit or the stars to align or whatever, has the exact opposite effect.
If I want to get better, I will do bp on legend or something.
You guys commenting in defense of moments/showdown slider tweaked “not the difficulty it says it is” gameplay, are missing the point entirely.

+1000XP for your second paragraph
It’s the implementation of the modern ‘keep them coming back’ strategy of game publishing (ie rewards based on certain tasks completed) done in a very counterproductive and unengaging way. If it was just pure uncompromised baseball in the moments and showdowns they would be over way too quickly for most people. So they are compromised in ways that the devs can control.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, sir.

Yeah..because my " lack of skills" with a hitter that has diamond contact over 100 on both sides of the plate hits a perfect perfect line drive down the first base line, only to get snagged 3 or 4 feet in the air, over the first basemens head with no defensive rating hire than 60. Yeah....my lack of skills.
