This 3 hits and 1 XBH Andre Dawson Moment is killing me
-
What sucks is I've been KILLING it with this card in the multi-game Moments and pretty much every other Moment I've done. That Padres lefty walks me more often than not and then they bring in a righty who throws 102 mph. It's maddening!
... and what makes this worse!? SDS' horrible simple mathematics skills where they can't make the exchange worth 6 points instead of 5, making the exchange essentially USELESS!

Look, you get a free diamond out of it after not much effort. Could be worse, remember the 2 doubles in a game Daniel Nava mission from '18? yea..

It would be less annoying if it said “veteran difficulty, cpu strike slider all the way to the left”

Thought they were fine until the nerfed hitting against the Cardinals. Not sure how many times I’ve restarted and havent gotten an xbh yet let alone two. Would be nice to get more than one strike every 8 pitches too.

Why is Dawson so worthless against right handed pitching? I looked up his splits.....he was obviously, slightly better vs lefties but his slugging % was only .049 higher, and his OPS was just .074 higher. He still hit .273 and slugged .469 against righties yet the difference when playing his "moments" is night and day.
You can center the PCI and get "okay" contact against righties, and virtually anything not centered is "weak" contact. Getting XBHs is like trying to push a baseball with a string against a strong wind.
It just seems too drastic. Its just another factor in these frustrating "moment" challenges that has nothing to do with your skill, but whether or not the slot machine comes up 7's.
I just dont like "moments" anyway, and then we have guys like Dawson, Jackie Robinson, and Keith Hernandez who swing a wet noodle and need to get XBHs.....its not fun, and none of your time or stats counts towards anything else....at least in the old days of stat challenges and stat collecting, you could be doing like 5 challenges at once, and it all counted towards team affinity.
Bah.
Rant over.Good Luck everyone.

The sad thing is, all you have to do is give up all control of your input and switch to directional hitting and you will be successful.

This says it all, if you need XBH’s just switch to directional, point left stick up, sit and wait, clobber it, shake head and move on...
