Bumgarner 14k moment

@chuckclc_psn said in Bumgarner 14k moment:
I was gonna say something yesterday when I did these, but didnt see anyone else saying anything so I just toughed it out. But all 3 of those games where you need K's and the one with IP was awful with MadBum. Every team swang at everything in the zone and hardly swung at anything out of the zone. And made hard contact on most swings. Then when I went to do the missions part I played the CPU and of course K's came with ease and the CPU couldnt touch anything and I threw a 1 hit shutout with rookie MadBum with like 18 K's. Moments can be so crazy juiced at times.
I just did the exchange and trying for the 10k and complete game now
-
I didn’t bother with that moment and did the exchange. I don’t like Bumgarner’s windup.
-
I'm glad I'm not alone. I've hit 12-13 ks too many times. I may have to do the exchange, but I only need the 5 points.

Yes it gets u 5 over but worth it got to 12K my 5th time so gave up
-
One tip that worked for me was to walk in runs to go to extra innings if needed. I was at 13K with 2 outs in the 9th, walked in 7 runs to tie the game, and then when the next batter flied out I finished it in the 10th. If they get a base hit its game over but that felt less likely than an out that’s not a K.
-
Simple, skip it. I did the exchange and tomorrow i'll do the conquest complete game and 10ks. He should be a fun card to use though.
-
For those that will still try to complete it,in addition to restarting until they took strikes and swing and miss, one thing i also did was eliminate the cutter. Just went FB CB and CH. threw FB until 2 strikes never in same place then chase pitches with 2 strikes . having to get 14 makes this tough.

Lol, dont do conquest. Play vs CPU. You can get the K's and complete game at the same time.

Fair enough i've been going through the main conquest for Afinity points but your right probably best to just play one game.

If i didnt. K 2 in the 1st id restart.after the 4th?restart i was able to complete with 2outs in the 6th.
anytime you go into a high Ks mission if they are swinging every pitch no swing and miss and/or hit in play on balls that seem absurd to even swing at-keep restart until you get an attempt that seems like a normal game.This, it took me maybe 7-8 attempts before finally getting it done. That moment should NOT be on veteran, veteran is the worst difficulty around. If you don’t get 2-3 Ks first inning, restart immediately, you’ll never get there.

If I didn't get at least 2k's per inning I just reset.

Plus I think the complete game mission needs to be minimum 8ip so conquest wouldn't count for the complete game

No i've looked conquest does indeed count (ranked seasons/battle royal/play vs cpu/ extra innings or conquest) but I agree why not knock out both at the same time

Beat it on my first try, like all pitching challenges it is incredibly easy if you know how to game the pitching.
4SFB: Only ever throw up and in to both LHH and RHH. No other location.
CT: Throw inside to righties, pretty much never throw it to lefties.
CH: Throw either low and away or low and in to righties. Never throw to lefties.
CB: Down and in to righties, down and away to lefties.
2SBF: Up and in to lefties, pretty much never throw it to righties.No, it doesn't make sense with actual real life pitching. But if you do only what I've laid out above, you'll get 14K's easily and most likely not a single hit along the way. You might think you've thrown a certain pitch in a certain spot too many times and the CPU will get wise but no, it never does. It just has certain pitches in certain spots SDS has decided are "bad" pitches that the CPU will punish even if they're great in real life (painting the low outside corner with a FB is a great example: fantastic pitch in MLB, but The Show CPU's crush it constantly). Just stick to the above and 14 K's is a walk in the park.

@nymets1987_psn said in Bumgarner 14k moment:
Any suggestions? The nationals don’t swing out of the strike zone and hit everything
Ps I guess Lester is Babe Ruth with the bat too
Seriously what is going on with Lester in this moment... had some like 15 pitch ABs against him where he was fouling everything off, and then getting a base hit to left.
This was easily the hardest moment of the game so far for me. During one attempt I purposely let the ball fall during a perfect game to get more chances to strike guys out. Also would intentionally walk runs in to tie the game and send it to extras to get more chances to strike guys out.
Almost gave up and did the exchange, but eventually beat it on about the 10th full-length try.
-
I just did the first set of moments, did the exchange then played with bumgarner online for 9 innings pitched, giants win and 8 IP with a starter pitcher for the 30 to finish it. His rookies not so bad if you play someone who cant hit i won 5-2 he barely gave up hits.
-
I got it done, but took me 8.2 innings to get there. I’m still not sure why it was with the silver version of Bumgarner instead of the Diamond card either.

Oh cool I already did mine, but that is certainly good to know conquest does count for it
-
I had 13 strikeouts in 8 innings but gave up 1 run, my team scored no runs so I didn't even get a chance to pitch in the 9th. I gave up on this moment.
-
I got it done on the first try but it definitely wasn't without stress
I'm not in a rush to get his 88 so I'll wait for a 2nd inning player program and pitch him for the Ks and 8ip complete game. If I get a giants innings pitched daily mission then maybe I'll just do a cpu game then instead.
