Kinsler 4 XBH Help?
-
I don’t know how this game expects me to get 4 XBH with a player who has only a 72 combined power rating. He isn’t getting that ball anywhere with that.
I’m playing on rookie, at Coors, with Kinsler batting first to get the most ABs possible. And so far this mini season I’ve only gotten one XBH.
Anything else I can do to improve my chances?

Is this one of the mini season things? I can’t remember. If so, you need a HR friendly park, and you need to force the correct pitching matchup.

@JDHalfrack_PSN Yes, it’s the mini seasons goal to unlock Edmonds
-
You have multiple games, correct? Doesn't have to be done in one game...
-
Yeah, use the park “Neighborhood Park”. Face left handed pitchers (if you care about pitching matchups). It definitely will take a handful of games. But it will happen. Then, the Edmonds unlock goal (8 think it’s like 32 bases?) is SUPER easy.

Yeah it’s not a “moment” just let it happen naturally. Put him at leadoff and swing away
More at bats at lead-off. Always do player missions setting them at the top of the order.
May take you 25 games but try not to press during his at bats just keep on playing, you’ll get it
-
It took me longer than I would have liked but I got it done. I think it was 1 HR and 3 doubles.
65/77 power is enough to gap the infielders or send it into the corners. With 80 Speed he should be able to have most of those be doubles -
The Garver thing took me forever then all of a sudden I’d hit 4 straight homers
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN Should I put him on the bench to better guarantee a matchup against lefties?
-
check your opponent’s rotation. You ideally want Kinsler facing a LHP, so, if your opponent has a LHP as their 4th SP in their rotation, choose your 4th SP in your rotation to ensure Kinsler faces a lefty

This would apply in conquest but not miniseasons.

You could try getting him to say parallel 2/3 and then give him a power boost, I use HR Derby park and just normal swing it's a tiny park and the ball flies, anyone can hit a home run even Chandler Simpson.
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN also applies in mini seasons. You can see your mini season opponents starting rotation before entering the game
-
Ah. Hmm. Man I never knew that
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN I didn’t either till this year. On the screen that shows what game you’re on, click into the game then scroll down
-
I don't have any tips, sadly, but i will say it was one of the worst things i've done in this game.
Took me an inordinate amount of time to complete and i vowed never to use the card again. -
I have noticed if the opposing team has your same pitcher all of a sudden you’ll have super stamina. Then sometimes your pitcher (if they have it) will completely drain your stamina to 0
Some glitchy [censored] in miniseasons

@doobiebross66-72_PSN Man I. Never knew that was there lol. Thanks
-
@NotesOfJohn_PSN In my experience the goal to get New Threads Nimmo was so, SO much worse
-
@LadySwampfox_XBL this tip in general helps you to get more favorable ABs with cards in mini seasons like Kinsler
I used this method when needing to get on base with Ibanez. Tried to get as many ABs against righties as possible to help the grind
