I’ve hated moments since the introduction of them. The only ones I do is if I absolutely have to in order to get a specific player I want. So glad the daily moment program is gone and now they’re just for XP.

I think many people are tired of the same formula with moments and just want to see something new introduced. It would be nice to see something different like say “Collect X amount of hits with Y player’s LS card in your lineup.”
That way you can continue playing the mode of your choice, earning PXP, program XP etc. while working towards the Topps Now cards.
They had that couple years ago not sure what edition it was

Nothing like needing 5 TB with a contact hitter...only getting 4 ABs a game...and getting plunked in one of the AB's every attempt! Oh and lets put a guy with 80 speed on first every at bat so the pitcher feels the need to throw over 2-3 times and pitchout every AB.
Moments aren't that bad...I just don't think they take the time to think "Is this a good moment to do" Not to mention they don't change the gameplay in any way. You can player lock my guy, player lock the pitcher so all he does is pitch to me. That's the other bad thing....Player lock. Nothing like being told to not give up a hit and then not be able to control your defense. Idiotic.

I think if they combined Moment with Challenge of the week type play it might make it better. Perhaps little flags, designated zones or something that indicated a single,double, or triple around on the field. (HR's would be obvious)
Maybe a lefty pull hitter and designated zones scattered in right field. This would also get people to work on timing the pitch? I dunno just somthin that popped in my head while reading thread. I haven't thought it out in depth just more of a brainstorming thing.
But agree with get rid of the uncontrollable teammates thing. And pitching in moments needs work as well, CPU pitching in general across the board really! Nothing like those moments where you need 5 total bases and you have 3 or 4 in the 9th to only have pitcher bean you!

Playing these moments is the most mind numbing boring gaming experience of my life. Please, for gods sake, find another avenue to earn these topps now cards. It’s bad enough I have to play conquest but at least that’s a 3 inning real game of baseball. I do that begrudgingly also.
And to think that people consider this content and they look forward to new moments dropping every week or two. If there's anything I never have to do in this game again it would be play moments and play conquest oh my God it is a nightmare to just beat the [censored] out of the computer non-stop. So boring.

I find they were pretty easy except the hit a HR ones lol got walked and pitched around by Sandy like 15-20 AB it
took lol -

Yeah, it's almost like people are individuals and have different opinions and different ideas about what is enjoyable. Weird.
Look at it this way, for the most part they de-emphasized Moments a lot this year. Daily moments appear to be no longer required for anything and can be skipped. There are enough ways to gain XP in the main program that you can skip all of the those program moments. So there are a lot less moments that seem required this year.

I do not enjoy playing moments but its better than what we had before it, and what most of the anti-moments people claim to want back

Moments aren’t baseball. They are busy work with a baseball skin.

Except no Conquest is mandatory, it’s just extra XP.

Honestly too, this year’s repeatable conquest takes so little time for 5 packs.

If you want some excitement (and dangerously high blood pressure) there's always showdown. I swear they made it harder this year and I don't like it.

In the end, does it really matter what they do? Y’all are just gonna complain regardless.

I will play a 9 inning RS game over conquest any day.

Well played sir. From now on whenever I do joyless moments I’ll think of this.

100% agree. I HATE moments. I am not doing monthly rewards programs this year since all the moments are most likely now mandatory to complete it. I am not even sure why the Topps Now cards are sellable. Anyone doing the monthly reward program all the way through has to do those moments anyway and will get them for free (if free means doing all the Topps Now moments). It doesn't even make sense either, SDS should want us buying collections with stubs or at least that to be a choice.

I still wish you could choose the difficulty for moments. playing on Rookie is a coinflip for me. Either first pitch challenge done, or 3 hours of suffering
The pitch speeds are not Rookie once they move the sliders. Not even close. More like All-Star.
