Why would they do this? One random postseason program doesn’t require moments, but the others do?! Probably because they planned it weeks ago because it’s retro. Maybe the 2026 WS program will have options. -

Haha.
I doubt they even think about it at this stage.I got all 15 moments done (including the Cornerstone), but a few of those HR ones took far longer than they should given the attributes of the cards (Springer and Mazeroski mainly).
Anyway, hope you all get them done quicker than i.

Yeah, but we're giggling, knowing the Padres may never win a World Series, so who's zooming who? Aretha Franklin asked that once....

I did not agree with your comment, until I did the Mazeroski 'nerf bat' HR Moment. 🤪Absolutely infuriating.

I think it’s the ballpark I am spending way too much time on it now

The Maz moment took me a few tries, I was dreading it especially after reading about it here and after how long the Freeman moment took. That one was the annoying one for me.

I'm always amazed at good players who apparently have more problems with these than I do. I realize you can occasionally stumble on one and have it give you problems, but the retro WS ones went pretty fast for me (under 30 mins - probably closer to 20). Maz took me the longest. He has a quick swing and I kept hitting foul balls.
Maybe I had a lucky run or the game just took it easy on me because I had not played for month.

My issue with Moments is a bit different than the usual complaints. Making the vast majority of these objectives "hit a home run" sends the wrong message about what actually wins baseball games.
The primary goal at the plate should be making solid contact. The current Home Run-only format feels like another instance of SDS forcing a "three true outcomes" sabermetrics approach down our throats.
Here is my suggestion to mix up the objectives so they reflect a more complete game of baseball. A balanced set of Moments could look like this:
3 Home Run moments: Keep the long ball for the power hitters. 3 On-Base moments: Reward putting the ball in play, making solid contact, and situational hitting. 4 Pitching and Baserunning moments: Add variety with stolen base challenges or pitching sequences.I know my personal playing experience doesn't dictate game design, but anytime I actually tried to hit a home run in real life, I either popped up or committed the ultimate baseball sin: striking out. Striking out is the only truly wasted out in the sport. The game should reward smart hitting and small ball just as much as the home run trot.
