Discovering a card
-
I saw Wainwright was discovered in less than 30 minutes. Just how? I understand people boosting with hitters but pitching just takes time. I’m probably completely out of the loop with how people cheat this game. Also if you do cheat/boost to discover a card how can you even feel like you accomplished anything?
-
Took me like 20 minutes to do the moments. I beat STL but I went all out and won 22-0. I could've bunted the entire game and won 1-0 and did it 5 minutes if I wanted to. It's not that hard honestly.
-
I don't think it's cheating at all. They just complete the moments ASAP and then start a vs CPU game and bunt or strike out on purpose after scoring a few runs, then pitch it out. Some even IBB a runner to set up a DP to make things even faster. People are resourceful.
Remember this though; discovering a card does absolutely nothing. Yeah it will show you username. Woopti-f-ing-doo.

You can hit and pitch 9 innings in 5 min? Naa that's not happening man, sorry. It's at least 15 min to get through 9 inn on All Star

I understand discovering means nothing I was just curious in all honesty. I can’t see how it was done in under 30 minutes unless you matched up online and your opponent let you get 10 straight strikeouts and quit immediately after.
I also will echo there is no way your doing all the moments then a CPU game in under 30 minutes. Playing a 9 inning game in 5 minutes is impossible. There’s 5 minutes worth of the CPU fouling balls off in most games lol.

I managed to
Unlocked Joe Nathan in the dailies
Complete the evolution program
Get him to parallel 1 - 1/1In just under 60 minutes.
It can be done. But it was intense

I think you can honestly. But at the end of the day, who cares really?

The moments for this took 20 mins or so
I got the 10 strike outs in ranked in about 15 mins
So it would have been 35 mins. But I continued the ranked game.
I had started the program at about 7:20pm UKT so had already missed the boat
-
Moments + 1 win in the event starting Flaherty. The win could take 1 min as people quit out if you go up a couple runs. I f’d up and started Gallegos thinking it was just a Cardinal win, hit a 2R bomb in the 1st (rage quit followed) but then realized I needed a SP.

I suppose yes this is doable with a rage quit. Is there a moment than can be skipped then? I can’t remember if you have to do them all. There was a 10 SO and a 7 inning one on there that would chew some time but I could see it if you would be able to skip the 7 inning moment.

We’re you playing ranked in Spring Training? If you were taking serious at bats and not bunting all while getting 10 SO in a higher level against someone also taking serious ABs means you basically had 10 SO in a row all while you hit the first pitch or two every AB to do it in 15 minutes, No?

Yes - I did the exchange, event win and then skipped 1 moment. Skipped the 3 innings, no hit one as just never needed to try it.

Was playing AS, i had Gibson on the mound. I literally only pitched 10/11 balls first 4 innings i was lucky the guy was swing happy.
In that time i wasn't playing properly but then hit a HR with Mookie and a couple of others in the 3rd, so decided to keep playing as i need the 10 dubs.
He quit in the 5th after deliberately hitting about 6 batters in a row.

Well done, that’s super fast and nice job pitching!

If someone guessed Wainwright from the clues, maybe they started a CPU game vs. the cardinals about 30 minutes before the program was scheduled to drop and then they were set up to be ahead of the curve almost immediately.
-
I guess I have the world's worst luck. I can't tell you the last time I played an inning in RS that lasted less than 5 minutes. Between people watching every single cutscene (whatever you want to call those) and pausing every 5 seconds.. Then dealing with constant R2 pressing. Games are lasting 45+ minutes each time.
-
To be fair, pitching moments tend to be one-and-done, and there weren’t too many long ones. I ended up getting lucky starting a cardinals pitcher in br and the guy quit after one batter, which made it a lot easier.

Get 1 run real fast in the first inning and then bunt every single at bat. Make sure you don't give up a run. I was maybe understating the 5 minutes. Maybe up 10 ten minutes so I can see how someone could discover the card in 30 minutes.
I ran through the moments on the first attempt on each, so it really didn't take me that long for that part of this player program.

Took me around the same time - that was an easy card to obtain

I’m still going to call BS on getting this card in under 30 minutes real time unless one of two things that have been mentioned happened.
You guessed right and played a CPU game and paused it with one out to go and waited for the content to drop and finished the game. Or you get lucky with a guy quitting right away online.
In 30 minutes realtime I don’t think you guys are factoring in load times (which I understand are much faster but still take time), matching up with an online opponent, not having that opponent screw around at all, also the CPU fouls a ton of balls off. Those all seem like little things but do add up.
I believe 35-40 minutes sure and under the absolute perfect scenario maybe under 30 is possible but don’t act like it’s no problem. I might be mistaken but to get to 50 you had to do all but two moments, the exchange then either one online mission and beat the CPU in 9 innings or skip the CPU and do both online missions.
I’ll give you 20 minutes to beat moments and 10 minutes to beat a CPU game now you’re at 30 minutes and still need to get online. I’m not seeing it without the two scenarios I first said happening.
