Stuck in a moment… and you can’t get out of it?
-
ARRRRGH! Hilton Smith (The Negro Leagues). Pitch 3 perfect innings. Ugh! I'm falling asleep on my 5th try. I lost one round because of a comebacker, and I didn't pick it up in time to throw to 1B. Then I thought to myself...if I would have thrown to 3B instead, that would have been an error and not giving up an error is not on the list. But, then I thought again...the game probably wouldn't count it as an error, even though it would be.

Hank Thompson's (The Negro Leagues) second moment. Get two extra base hits. He faces Bob Drake a right hander. Thompson has 89 CON R (pretty good), 70 POW R (again, not bad), and 81 speed. You would think with these attributes that getting an XBH would be routine. They are in Old Cominsky (I think), so there is plenty of room in the outfield. Drake has 63 K/9, 55 CTRL, 65 VEL, and 60 BRK. Again, with those numbers Thompson should be raking the ball. Why oh why am I stuck on this one? It's even on Rookie! Man...
Oh - and not giving us a way to restart the moment when we know we won't be able to complete it is bogus. We can only quit, and go back to a menu that says continue or restart instead of just restarting the moment.

This is just one of the little annoyances that made these moments such a slog. That and having to listen to that stupid intro music before being able to skip on quickly to the moment is another that stuck in my craw. There was one of those moments with Dihigo that I honestly thought I’d NEVER finish!!! What a slog

Ayeeeeee...I haven't done his yet. I'm just now beginning Buck O'Neil. Since I hit well with his other card, I hope this one goes well.

Best of luck to you - might need a sixer of those monsters if it takes as long for you as it did for me haha let’s hope not

Thompson took me about an hour and a half. Waaaaaayyyy too long for a 90 card that is a Free Agent and not usable in TA.

It literally took me forever to get that one. I mean, weeks to get it. I would log in, immediately go to it and try it 5 times. After that, I gave up.
Eventually got it, but it will live in infamy for me.

Reflecting back on this moment, I swear it took more time to finish than all the others combined. Or so it felt like it.

@capardo_XBL @fubar2k7_PSN I am so glad I’m not alone on this one!

The Joe Carter Wiggly Wonders HR Moment.
Dude has warning track power, plus I wanted the Phillies to win that WS anyway.
Went to Directional after about 15 tries with Zone. -

The ironic thing is. First game I played him the guy hit 2 homeruns.

That’s how it always is ain’t it man!? I had the same problem with one of those infernal Clemente moments. If I need 3 singles I hit 3 triples but when I need two extra base hits then all I can do is hit singles!

No joke. It took me 61 tries to hit a homerun with Duke Snider. I only needed a hit with Luis Arraez for hit number 200 and in one at bat I hit a homerun.

There was one of those moments with Dihigo that I honestly thought I’d NEVER finish!!! What a slog
I finally finished Storylines. Dihigo was one of the easier ones for me. I guess I got lucky.

I’m glad to hear that! Congratulations for getting that one checked off the list….that’s a biggie!

Joe Carter weekly wonders moment….
It’s moments like these that I simply don’t understand SDS thinking. First, they give us a Carter card that is hard to get the “job done” with 90 power. Then, they throw a pitcher out there with a 77 homer rating.
My first attempt was a 2-0 fastball perfect/perfect fly ball to the warning track. I’m sorry, perfect/perfect in moments should satisfy that moment (imo). 5 more tries later, I’m done.
Do you want me to “celebrate” the moment or not? At this point, if I were to get it, I’m more frustrated than excited. make it more straightforward. I still have to “play baseball” and swing at strikes, work the count, etc. that’s enough difficulty for this kind of moment.
It’s stuff like this that I just don’t understand what they are thinking.

I’ll add this: SDS has done “something” to Moments. Starting with Great Race program, I am rarely, if ever, getting ANY of the moments in ANY of the subsequent programs on the first couple of tries.
Every one seems to be 5+ tries to get them. Hitting, pitching, baserunning. Doesn’t matter.
Could be me….

I don't think it's you. They've tweaked things a bit.

I think this might be my first post in here. I completed the "Extreme" divisional series moment on the second try. I thought "oh, the rest of these will be a piece of cake". I breezed through the first two, then came upon "Tally 2 extra-base hits with Hicks". Simple. On about my 5th try, I thought "wait... this is way more difficult than it should be". Well, it is. The SP is Jordan Montgomery, Supercharged. So, I might actually wait on this one. I can't hit anything hard off him.
Edit - I did get it done. Just kept restarting until I got a double in the first AB. It took me wayyyyy to many tries though. I'm not good.
