    Granted, I usually only play enough Event to grab one or two of the rewards, i.e. flashback & the first new one, but I gotta say they are a total SS. It is nothing but HR derby. There is nowhere to pitch anyone without giving up bomb after bomb. I suck at hitting and still hitting multiple HRs a game.

    I get the "Moonshot" event being like that because you're facing common pitchers but I'd venture to say this event is just as bad using relatively high end pitchers.

    I give SDS credit when due but compared to Event games in 16', 17', they have taken a giant step back in regards to competitive online play

    The thing I don't like about events now is you'll go on a run where it's soo easy. Then you'll get 20 games in a row against world series try hards. The matchmaking is super inconsistent

    I find in Ranked that I win roughly 40 - 50% of my games. In Events it is 20 - 33%. Seems almost everyone I play is a guru at hitting and usually pitching as well.

    I do Events after I have all Conquests, Ranked and Battle Royale done, and only if it helps me in the latest programs. I usually try to get to 5 wins, if possible.

    I wish good luck for all of you that you match up with me in Events. I'm just trying to get PXP for the latest program.

    Events are just harder now with a huge reward for 12 wins and huge amount of stubs from that card versus previously when events got you like 30-40k tops. Gonna be a lot more goon teams going for that 12 game reward.

    I really hate this new addition, I used to play events casually when I did not have the desire to sweat it in Ranked, now it’s just sweaty games back to back, especially after you go 6-0

    Agree with everyone -- spot on insights. I loathe events and almost get PTSD when I enter it. The minute I'm down by a couple of runs, I just quit. There's no point wasting my time trying to finish it. It's really not very fun at all. I used to try and get all the new cards, but now I do what some of the posters here said -- just try and get the Flashback and maybe one more. If I try to get to 10 wins, it's usually two-three nights if I'm lucky. Beyond that is just a waste of time. I'd rather play almost any of the other games, online or against the CPU than Events.

    Honestly the second I go down 1-0 I quit, unless I've already seen the other guy pitch and feel I can score 2 runs with a fairly high certainty (which is rare)

    Yes Ive quit games where I would have won. But it still saves a LOT of time.
    On the reverse side, I went for Escobar/Dumper and only twice did I have a lead and end up losing in 25 wins

    The 12 win streak reward is great for the top 5% of players, but kinda ruined Events for the rest of us

    I’m so annoyed, whenever I play ranked I am always the road team and I hate it, now in this event I am always the home team against guys with 5x flawless, WS icons and Top 50 icons. Give me a break SDS šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
