Dashboarding and Stat Missions are a Frustrating Combination

[Bridge Piece_XBL]

I know this has been discussed plenty, and I’ve brought it up before, but dashboarding continues to make stat-based missions, particularly home runs, incredibly frustrating.

I’m a busy adult with two kids who works 50-60 hours a week. MLB The Show is what I enjoy in my limited free time, and it’s always nice to finish the MP program.

I entered today needing 11 more home runs to reach 50 and complete the program. Easy enough, right?

Nope. Try closer to 17, because people keep quitting before the ball lands. And that’s not counting the 15 or so times it’s also happened in Events this program.

I brought up the idea of server-side stat tracking a few months ago. Maybe there’s a way to register a home run once the game determines it’s gone, even if the opponent disconnects before it lands? I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but something along those lines would be great.

I know it’s not SDS’s fault that some people can’t handle losing, but it’s frustrating having to repeatedly load into games to earn stats you’ve already earned.

Hopefully there’s a solution down the road. I just want the home runs I actually hit to count - so I don’t need to stay up until 1am finishing missions that should have been done hours earlier.
