Over/Under on Now and Later packs in the 2/4 program (looks like 11, plus a 1955 Mays Finest)

Looks like it may be all Moments. Queue up the complaints.

Read the fine print:
Finish the program to earn 99 OVR Willie Mays in MLB The Show 24, and a diamond version of Willie Mays in MLB The Show 25!

an 85

Can anyone tell me what the moments are? I’m away from my switch for another couple hours, any 2 XBHs in one game moment or 6 or more total bases moments?
-
@MarioMendoza935_XBL oh forsure lol. But I will absolutely take an 85 Mays on day 1 so I’m here for it.
First program I’ve completed in 24 since May of last year

The first few are easy. There is one for Bobby Witt Jr. that might be tricky (get 3 hits with 1 XBH). There's another one with 2 XBH's, another with 3 K's in one inning. So... there will be some hand-wringing...

Nando has 3K in 1 IP on Veteran … Did it on first try
-
Of course, the 2 XBHs in one game just won't go away. Still clear that they didn't listen about getting rid of the Moments only programs

Does anyone even use Mays? IRL one of the best players ever, but in game? His swing is terrible.
I feel like it’s not his swing that messes with most users, it’s his closed stance that hugs the plate
From my experiences using him each year, opponents try to pitch inside to Willie because of what I mentioned above
Sit on the inside pitch and focus on turning on one. Willie is amazing

Yes, but not a lot and typically not competitive players. SDS is allergic to giving pull or extreme pull swings to right-handed batting legends (even if they were in fact pull hitters) and so right-handed legends, particularly ones with closed stances, have typically been underused since the sinker/cutter meta took over as you just jam them inside repeatedly with inside sinkers (see: Andre Dawson being a very sought-after legend in MLB The Show 17 and an afterthought now). Left-handed batting legends that teams shifted on tend to get extreme pull but teams didn’t traditionally do shifts on right-handed hitters until Albert Pujols ~15 years ago, even if they were extreme pull hitters.

the 2 XBH one and the 3 hits with 1XBH with bobby both had me halted for a little but i cleared the rest easily so it balanced out. overall the program wasnt that annoying
-
How disappointing. They release the best Mays card ever and its a month before the new game comes out.
-
The Willie Mays should be as playable as Mookie or Acuna Jr

Thankfully I was able to do this program quickly never finished the one with Yordan Alvarez card
I really hope they allow players to do a repeatable pxp mission for every offline program let me play the game as I want and earn the cards

The Bobby Witt one was definitely the trickiest. The others weren't too bad, really. The pitching one was actually easy. On the Witt one, be patient at the plate. Also, don't forget bunting. I bunted the last hit I needed.

@beatlesnews_PSN there are 2 in the current Ranked Season, and there were 2 in the last.
I don't play ranked, so I guess that leaves me out of those. I really hate that the game pushes you out of certain things if you don't play online (or showdowns, which I can't stand).

I used the HOF Mays and I liked it. I haven't used the new one enough yet, but it seems OK.
