They’ve nerfed the power on the Lowe and the Carpenter moments. Those guys haven’t gotten anywhere close to a homer. Lazy fly ball after lazy fly ball.
Thanks for the heads up, will skip those
The other one I couldn’t get was 3 K’s with Swanson. He doesn’t throw hard enough to strike anyone out.

Twenty moments for the 98 program. 20!!! JFC…
When have you ever heard someone say they look forward to moments?
It is probably the most tolerated yet least enjoyable thing they’ve ever put in the game. But no one likes doing them.
Five moments per program, tops. Make everything else a PXP mission. But this is ridiculous the way it is now. HFS. Give us a break…
Maybe if the cpu would throw strikes (just a few would be great) but no we just sit there watching the pitcher throw ball after ball, i know i sound like a broken record but the cpu pitching is just atrocious, add in the trying to pick off runners with 76 speed and its no wonder people are just sick to death of moments.

You can skip 7 of them if you do the set 3 exchange, and collect Tops now collection

Exactly. I had the pitcher throw over twice at a guy with 55 speed and 44 steal. Come on, now. This whole requirement is worse than a poke in the eye.
Whenever they release a new program, first thing I check is how many moments do I have to suffer through? And like you said, with the pitching? Absolutely brutal.

They released 58 moments today. I should have timed myself when I started because I’d love to know how long this is going to take…

I'm through the August moments, 2 moments left in the 98 program excluding the Mike Piazza extra base hit and Mark McGwire 2 home run game.
-
Yeah, the Topps Now for August aren’t bad at all. About 90 minutes for me in those. (The Mauricio moment took most of my time there. 15 tries ). About 2 hours on the Monthly Awards. They’ve been a pain. And I’ve skipped several of those.

Bounce the split,I got an immaculate inning on that one,they couldn't stop swinging at it

To me this amount of time commitment is excessive. You shouldn’t have to spend that much time on moments. An hour tops, then you should be playing BR, RS, Events, or Conquest/CPU. Who wants to spend this much time plus on this mind-numbing game mode?

I can definitely see that side of it. Honestly, I view it as a great way to get a bunch of cards to complete Set 4 collection. I think I’ve gotten 25+ cards tonight.

Yup now up to 100 cards in set 4, including Trout who i absent-mindedly locked in last night, no matter it's not like i was selling him.

Funny how Moments are. I threw that splitter low, lower, lowest. They consistently would not swing at it for me. Or it was weak contact. Which is no good for that particular moment.

I don't hate Moments.
I don't like getting stuck on them.
I see many don't, but none of you came up with a replacement for Moments.......

As others have pointed out , 20+ moments in a program is too many. Half that, at best.
By all means, please make them way more straightforward. Turn down the sliders (behind the hood) so that we can experience the moment as intended. When we are taking 20+ times to finish them, something is off. If I play regular baseball and work counts and take pitches and only swing at strikes, I should finish a moment in a couple of tries max. And program a moment so that perfect/perfect satisfies the requirement. Or is at least a hit
For those that say that’s not real baseball, well I counter with that these moments aren’t either. They are typically past events that DID happen. So, set me up in a scenario where it WILL happen. No dotting corners or gold glove fielders or anything along those lines.
Finally, put the team out there exactly as it was in the moment. If SDS doesn’t have the guys rights, make up the player. “BP pitcher”, for example is already in the game.
Let me experience the moment as it happened. Not 20 times later where I’m frustrated and don’t remember why I’m even doing this or the relevance of the moment.
Thanks for reading.

Kinda find it intriguing that you guys can’t stand moments but are completely ok playing cpu on rookie… against the same sh*t pitcher….at the same elevated stadium…hitting homer after homer overr and overrrr again.
Atleast with moments you’re using new guys at mostly different locations

I don’t play cpu. I play conquest because I have to, but I don’t play nine inning games against the cpu. If I ever finish all the moments and showdowns and conquest maps, I play ranked. Playing ranked is all I really want to play, but I don’t get to play that mode that much, because in order to field a competitive team for that mode, I have to complete 58 moments and 10 conquest maps and 10 showdowns.
I’m glad you like moments, though. SDS should rest easy knowing at least one user enjoys them.

Please don’t read this and think I’m being snarky. Just trying to give you my perspective….
“Playing CPU on rookie….hitting homer after homer….” = success and is fun!
Doing the August Monthly Awards Lowe Moment over 20 times before getting it (or skipping it) = Failure, frustration and is definitely not fun!!!
For me, it’s as simple as that.

And while playing against the CPU you're at least earning PXP, so that 30 minutes or so isn't just nothing. As opposed to a frustrating moment where it's just to get some points for the Program, and that's it, no PXP.

I have said this for years. Has there ever been a moment where you actually feel like you are in the “moment” and really recreating it? No, we all tolerate them and slog thru the extreme monotony thrilled it’s complete then it’s rinse and repeat
