I like the program, Sammy's gonna be my RF when it's done.
That said, this hitting a homer off of Grant Anderson moment can eat expired ice cream.

If you’re gonna have an 8 TB mission against a pitcher who is allergic to the strike zone, walks should count

I knew as soon as I started this it’d be a problem
95 ovr versus 65 ovr and he’s pumping gas
-
6 TB is a pain,but doable without a homer, this isn't gonna be fun, though I did get a double and 2 homers in the 3 hit one so maybe it won't be.
-
There better be more missions added that help lead to the 100 stars needed for Sosa because there's no way I'm able to do the 8 total bases moment. SDS tried this last year doing 8 total bases and because of all the complaints they lowered it to 6
-
@sbchamps17_NSW it took me like 10 tries but I got it done. I suggest if you don’t hit a HR on first at bat restart it.

That's the problem I have, I barely did the HR moments for him and those took me a very long time

All CPU pitchers are allergic to strikes this year.

As did I but Abel is the greatest P I ever faced so no chance for me
-
The 8 TB moment took me far fewer tries than hitting a homer off of Grant Anderson.
Funny how that works out.
-
I really dig the program overall.
It is essentially a month-long Moments reward path, but the concept is refreshing having us replicate Sosa's notable swings from that historic summer.
These games no matter how they're programmed are still going to require the same basics of hitting the baseball and throwing the baseball. This program isn't reinventing the wheel for Show diehards, but it is structured well enough to feel at least a little special and unique compared to the usual grind which I appreciate.

@GoldenGamingKM_PSN you’re right some of you maybe but others are not. Some of the people on here “discussing” have been on other threads “discussing” how the product is stale and want new things….
Ok, who p!ssed in this guy's cornflakes? Raise your hand. Lol jk, I get what you're saying.

@GoldenGamingKM_PSN said in Sammy Sosa:
@Sarge1387_PSN Yeah, it's a bit strange with the pitching on these moments. I basically have to get lucky with a pitch middle-in in order to knock one out. Sammy is a hit machine but I'll be damned if that sweet spot window ain't as small a gnat with his swing (his vision doesn't help either).
Tell me about it. And when I do get a strike...it so high and so close to being a ball that my keen eye works against me and they get the call. When I do make good contact its just a p!ss missile liner
@squishiesgirl_MLBTS said in Sammy Sosa:
@Sarge1387_PSN yes...so annoying...it's like you're forced to swing at bad pitches just so you can hit something
Don't get me started on this lol, I try so hard to line up my PCI on the edges cause that's all I see
-
Yay....back to back 8 total bases on veteran difficulty.
With the bizarre CPU pitching you're guaranteed 1 walk in what will be mostly 4 ABs so now you've got 3 ABs..... but wait....
In your 3 ABs you'll get 1 maybe 2 good pitches per AB so you've got 6 pitches at best to get 8 total bases......but wait......
Out of those maybe 6 good pitches to hit you'll Perfect/Perfect right at someone at least once so now you've got 2 ABs and 4 pitches to get 8 total bases. ..... Yay.
I get it , I don't have to them but programs are completed in 2 hrs and conquest maps are few and far between. Fix the stupid pitching already.
-
@Ledfoot_19_PSN I miraculously got it on the second try. He threw two meatballs down the middle of the plate. It might not be bad for us this time. Plus they added summer packs. Very coool
-
I got the first 8 TB moment in 3 at bats. Today's took me longer, but I completed it in an unlikely way: HR, single, triple on a missed OF dive. I'll take it.
-
I tried it but it's not happening for me so either they add more missions or I'll never get the card, like I said before they did this last year people complained and they lowered it to 6 total bases
-
8 total base mission today for Sosa has a pitcher with no fastball lol

Yeah this one hurts.the one against Abel wasn't too bad,did it in 10-15ABs, but this one ...
Sinker and changeup that look exactly the same coming in,and he throws them toward the bottom so you'll think golf swing for launch angle but nope, under the zone often way under and you chop it foul or at an infielder, I don't fault SDS for this,he pitches this way in real life, I do fault them for not picking someone else to pitch this.
and it's actually a double fault,cause I also faced Alvarado in this moment,you know, the guy currently banned from MLB for ped use. -
I haven't attempted the 8 TB Moment yet, but when I do, it will be an automatic restart if I don't get a homerun in the first plate appearance.
