moonshot moments
-
i breeze through every one until Gibson , its like hes batting while wearing a pair of underwear thats 4 sizes too small because he can barely get it out of the infield , twice he dies on the warning track and thats it
-
I tried for over an hour on Thome but couldn't get it but Babe Ruth Lefty vs Lefty I got on the 1st pitch
-
Mantle. I can't hit with him. In any year, any Show. It's unreal. Finally got a phat Fastball.
The Big Mac vs. Randy Extreme took about 20 retries, with lotsa flailing at Splitters, lol. -
I struggled with Mantle. Finally hit an inside-the-parker...
-
Yup this Mantle card has pool noodle power
-
God awful moment. We have 60 different versions of some mediocre players but we have literally 1 Mantle card in the entire game and it’s mid August. This dump of a stadium is impossible to hit a home run in and right center has a fence that a toddler could leap over, anytime I hit a ball there it’s a ground rule double. This moment is a perfect encapsulation of how this game as a whole was this year. End rant.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW i literally took him yard first pitch only because i got a hanging breaking ballletter high, gibson took me a easy half hour 45 minutes , he would hit the ball and a loud crack of the bat and it would land mid field
-
@samguenther1987_PSN im with you there , ive never been able to get any card of him to produce consistently , but his mission i was able to get relatively fast
-
I did all the moments except for the Thome one, the Gibson one and of course definitely not touching the extreme one so I'm currently working on the missions but not in any hurry to get it done but as for the seasons awards program I'm 2 points short of completing that one

That is unfortunately by design. Mantle, Musial, Gehrig, Aaron all don't have 99 cards yet. Add in more recent legend players like McGwire and Randy Johnson and probably others.
They purposely hold these type of cards back. It is their hope that introducing these players later in the cycle will keep players engaged or even get players to come back. They may be bosses in future seasons or the reward for some special program. While that tactic does not work on all of us it probably works well enough that they keep doing it every year
-
I think SDS missed a fun opportunity with these moments. Each one’s description had the estimated length of the home run.
Would have been nice when we got the home run animation that it actually traveled as far as in the description. I mean, imagine the thrill of seeing a ball almost go out of Yankee stadium.
Woulda been a fun addition, IMO.
-
So update, I somehow managed to do the extreme moment on the 4th attempt. Don't know how I did it but definitely happy that I did
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Congrats! got the Yordan 99 just now myself after taking break with 80 stars. Changed pitching from classic to pulse and played like was a dance rhythm game, persona dancing all night, and made a beat with my voice to get timing down for good on pitches. Hope everyone can finish it too
-
I personally gave up on completing the moments of glory program because I just can't do it, I literally tried every moment but couldn't get it done, I managed to get up to 65 points so I'm happy with that

Which ones can't you complete?
-
The 3 hits with 1 homerun, 7 total bases, hit 2 HRs, win a game against Percival, 6 total bases, 2 XBHs, 8 total bases. Just not that good of a hitter to do them

Yes I’m out for the ones where u have to do a lot
-
Yeah, Mantle was the worst for me. All others were easy most had 110+ power, Mantle is in the 80's.
-
I actually have only done the Rooker moment so far. 47 tries. Too many perfect perfect singles and groundouts. He loves hitting the ball on the ground. Also one robbed HR. Biggest complaint is the amount of pitches that were thrown directly down the plate that I had a good swing on that were strikes or foul balls
-
Haven't done this one yet. Still working on yordon Cycle moments. I will say this program of moments feels super inconsistent.
Idk how I got three attempts with nothing but pop outs and a strike out then on the 4-5th attempt smack 2 home runs back to back perfect perfects.......
I made a MIRACULOUS improvement from this moment, everyone! That's the only way to interpret this, right?
