POTM Bellinger grind
-
I'm gonna start the grind tonight, don't know how far I'll get. I'm at silver 98, so I should be able to add Bellinger and Reggie for the event in the next couple days.

Best of luck, I'm starting in on Agular's moments when I get home. Could be a long night.

It’s really easy
Look. Occasionally, you’ll get a couple pitches down the pipe that will actually have a good result. In those cases, yes, it’s easy.
Unfortunately, most of the time, Charlie Morton seems to prefer going to a three ball count, then throws a dot, then ball four.
It’s not easy, dude. Even when you get good contact, there’s the good/ok to the track or the line drive into the shift.
It has nothing to do with easy.
So, swing on ball four so it becomes strike two. Foul dots off until you get a good pitch. If a walk doesn't help, don't take one.
That’s not the point. As I pointed out in another post, Charlie Morton has a strike percentage of 63% over his entire career. It’s on veteran difficulty.
If these missions need to be more challenging, that is fine. Just make it a higher difficulty, instead of manipulating the at bats.
That's completely the point. You were upset that he walks you, so swing. Use directional hitting, it will allow you to beat most of his missions in one or two tries.
I’m not upset that he walked me. I am frustrated with cpu pitcher strike slider adjustments behind the scenes.
I just did the Josh James one first try. Why? Because he was throwing fastballs in so I cheated on one and blooped a double to right and got a first pitch cookie for a bomb.
If I have to switch to directional to complete a moment, imo there is a problem.
People have been using directional to beat moments for YEARS. That's how the majority of the content creators, and myself, completed all the moments extreme last year.
I’m aware. I’ve done this myself on occasion.
That doesn’t excuse the shortcomings of the game in my mind.
Honestly, my only disagreement with your comments is that I don’t think we should just accept and make the best of the gameplay. After so many years and the same problems, I think we need to say enough is enough.

I think June POTM has been very reasonable. Earlier this week, I stocked up on a bunch of cards for exchanges (and I guessed mostly right somehow), so I can get the easy points on all 4 stages. I’ve been playing a lot of vs CPU games recently anyway to grind stage 2 TA, so that’s another easy 5 points. And so far the moments have been surprisingly easy.
I’m probably going to get Bellinger either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. And that’s just going at a very casual pace.
Define "a very casual pace"

I just started and im struggling with the Zunino moments because I cant hit with really low vision guys I'll get it eventually though
Are you aware that vision is only the outer pci ring (helping foul off pitches) this year. The contact rating effects the main pci size.

Thanks, feel like I'm gonna need it. Maybe it is just that they all dropped at once, but this program looks daunting. Oh well, gotta start somewhere. Good luck to you as well!

My best advice with the Zunino moments is to have lots of patience, take out the multi game first, lots of pitches are going to be off the strike zone just wait for one at the letters or a bit higher Zunino has a lot of power.

LeMahieu is the worst. He has a slow loopy swing, is runs like cold molasses, gets "okay" contact 80% of the time, and his perfect/perfect fly balls dont even leave the yard if they are anywhere but down the line.
How am i supposed to get XBHs? Ive gotten 2 in my last 3 attempts of 3 games.
Do i need to power swing? That only seemed to make contact issues worse, but im running out of ideas.
Is it one of those im stuck grinding until i get lucky?
Good Luck out there, everyone.

I am about to start the Aguilar missions. I will probably play ranked today with Zunino and hope to get a home run or two. I don't want to have to pay for another exchange, but I might have to.

Should I do that for Aguilar? Would that help me have better results?

Trying to get two XBH with Aguilar is frustrating, basically need to hit two HR because dude is slow as an ice wagon
