This. Over stuff that a lot of us will have no problems with. And others will complain about stuff that others will find easy. It will be a "Whoa is me" type of weekend for sure. You will even have some mad at SDS for making them do these moments for whatever cards that will be available. The whole, "I been waiting all year for insert player name, and you make him impossible for me to get!" Lol. Cannot wait.
IT'S HAAAAAAAAAAAARD. Why would they call it Extreme AND make it hard?
It’s not about being hard (I got last years done by noon the next day), it’s about the awful programming for gameplay. Watching 50 fielding defenders consistently playing like Mays in the OF or having perfect perfect flyballs with 100 power guys die at the warning track is what cheeses people off, not the inherent difficulty.
Lol says it's not difficulty & then goes on to describe difficulty of hitting P/P out...derp
Are you actually trying to argue that a perfect perfect flyball (ie perfect user input) with a power hitter shouldn’t be a home run? That someone should have to have perfect user input multiple times to beat a moment because RNG is how things should be made hard?
Let me ask you this, how would you spike difficulty in a Sport game for a mode named extreme? Honest question, tell me how you believe it should be done.
Um, moments on HoF (instead of the usual veteran/AS), more involved moments (ie the Jansen and Kershaw moments from last years extreme), etc. increasing rng is simply stupid. If user input isn’t going to matter, the. They might as well just make us roll dice for these.
So...against a higher difficulty, you get mad that fielders make better plays? That in itself represents higher difficulty.
As for perfect/perfect, no, it shouldn't be an auto home run every single time. I thought perfect/perfect was a stupid idea from the start, and I've been proven right 1000 times over.
Nope, I get mad when garbage defenders make those plays consistently. There is nothing stopping SDS from actually putting good defenders on the field, it just making it so a 50 fielding defender is now Mays is dumb and lazy.
And they literally said on stream that perfect perfects with high power guys were guaranteed home runs. I mean really, it’s like there are a bunch of people here who want to play a sim with user input only playing a minor role

Enjoy.
I think that point is not what he is making. The point is, in showdowns for sure, not sure about moments as much, no matter the fielder rating they ALWAYS make the diving play, or perfect throw. It is just programmed that way. Where as vs CPU or conquest it is not. It would just be nice honestly if there was some RNG for the cpu fielders in showdowns and more in moments. Because there is only one outcome right now. And that is them making the play. CPU has to have some RNG because there is no other way for them to operate.

I find this argument perplexing... there is a lot more going on in a swing, even in a video game, then lining it up in crosshairs and pressing your button with good timing. Something has to compensate for those other factors (swing pitch, barrel angles, etc), so even "perfect" user input leaves a lot out of the equation that ultimately determine exit velocity and trajectory. Call it RNG, or whatever you want; it's there, by necessity, or you have something other than baseball.
To say that user input plays a minor role when the community stats show perfect/perfect inputs result in an .850 average is hyperbole, at best.
Personally, I'd like to see the FPS targeting play less or a role in a baseball game, but that doesn't make me a proponent of turning this game into a Strat-O-Matic product.

It's going to be extreme controller slamming
I just bought 2 new ones. I should put them in storage until after this...

I LOVE STRAT-O-MATIC. Loved that game.

They don't make the play every time, though. Saying they ALWAYS do just comes off as whiny...because it is.

There is no way I'll be able to get to that Lou Gehrig, lol. Extreme showdown looks like it will induce high blood pressure

Showdown actually looks like the easiest of the 3 options...

I agree. Conquest extreme won’t be as hard as the other 2, but it will take quite a bit of time. Moments extreme looks like hell
-
Good luck guys. I won't even be attempting.
-
That Yelich 3HR game will be the death of me I’m sure lol
-
Anyone trying to help me understand this conquest real quick?
Lol. I feel stupid for asking, but do I have it correct, that I have no option but to restart the map a few times to get rolling or do I need to think this through a little harder?
TIA -
No I think for the turn based challenges, multiple ones can be done at once but I highly doubt you can do it all in one swoop
-
Appreciate it.
This program should keep me busy for a while
Good luck to my fellow grinders -

Good luck to my fellow grindersThanks, are there rewards in the map itself or just for finishing it? I'm at work and can't see.

Waiting on @andrae-ransom to pop in with tips on conquest extreme map lol. Even though havent seen him here for a while.
Wait, his last post was April 4th? That cannot be right can it? he is in the content creators league right?
-
Thought I’d give it a quick try after work. Went to showdown and won the first game. Moved to moments - 3 HRs with Yelich
You face a 67 bronze and very first pitch was a belt high CB that I hit perfect and it was barely over the wall, the defender almost caught it, hmmmm. Second AB every pitch was as perfect on the black possible but I hit a double which doesn’t count. 3rd AB perfect hit but a liner for a double and 4th AB an out.
Reset and try again first AB a four pitch walk. Second AB a four pitch walk. SDS must get revenue simply by having people on their servers because the writing is on the wall that it’s meant to take your time.
