Moments are not fun when they aren't easily defeated.
-
I'm a below average player (never been above 500 on ranked seasons) and I've completed almost all of the moments in the game, so they're not that bad. It just takes a little persistence. Maybe some people want the game to be nothing but a big flashing button that says "Click here to receive cards" but I like a challenge. A lot of the pitching ones are so easy that a blind squirrel could do them on the first try, but most moments hit the sweet spot in difficulty where they're challenging but not so difficult that I feel completely overwhelmed.
-
I like the moments and I do get frustrated with them, but I’ve also completed almost all of them in 6 weeks of 21 compared to 20 where I wanted to break controllers constantly and gave up on all the player programs that were hitters.

I think moments are awful, one of the worst additions to the game, and to top it off they tie it into too many programs. I'd rather just use cards vs CPU to get the stats, I mean if moments are on rookie what's the freaking difference? People complained about Stat grinds on 18 and Moments was thier solution.

Agreed, if you fail say 5 times then you should be given the reward for persistence. Nobody gains from being so frustrated you turn off the game
Everyone gets a trophy? Screw that

I love moments, and have actually been pretty happy with some of the rewards we earn. The logic, at times, is incredibly frustrating. I do not have a problem with tough challenges; 8 bases in 1 games, 2 XBH, 15 bases in x games etc. etc. -- but the logic is irritating. Needing to get a certain amount of hits and getting walked, needing to it home runs but your are going against Yu Darvish, who only throws ball.
The most frustrating experience I faced was the Dante Bichette -- 1 XBH 1 steal. I hit a homer run -- nailed the XBH. I then hit a single, I want to steal, but the batter is in a 3-2 count... they are swinging to protect, the AB ends with a walk. Hit another single, the batter is in an 0-2 count with 2 out -- the guy strikes out. W T F!?!?

Man, I really...really hope this is sarcasm.

Some moments are okay.
But I had a daily moment to hit a HR with Trout and I did that moment 10 times and had everything but perfect contact and all he did was fly out to the track on his best hit. I finally gave up and came back the next day to complete the next daily.
21 is a good game but it does have a lot of glitches that I believe will be fixed in due time. -

This one is wrecking me. Can't steal when locked to save my life.

I can't stand moments, but most of them aren't that bad this year. Multi game moments can screw off however.

My trick:
- Take your lead off right when they get into the stretch.
- From there, watch the pitchers back hip, it will tell you everything.
- As soon as that back hip rocks back, I'm gone.

I don’t want them to just give it to me, and I usually do them fairly quickly…but I hate when I need hits and I only get like 30% strikes or when they introduce the randomness of needing a HR and two more hits after that.

Some of the moments are ok but when you need 3 xbh or like with the evolution Kemp one of them is like what 16 hits in 4 games (might be 10 can’t remember) I mean that seems easy and it should be but Matt kemp can’t hit a lick let alone a ducking baseball
That was brutal. Kemp swings such a noodle. The McGriff one sucked too.

I like that you get the topps now packs that guarantee diamonds. I wasn’t grinding out the moments in 19 to get one pack that gave me a gold.

No joke. I think YU threw me 10 straight balls on a moment once. I had him at like 8 strokes in 24 pitches.

I agree with OP. The challenging part isn’t even the moment itself. It’s the constant bs that goes on all the time in them.
-
OP has a good point (perhaps worded differently). It is pretty annoying that you can enter a moment, sit your controller down, and get walked 3 times in a 9 inning player lock. CPU pitchers treat every hitter like 2004 Bonds. It gets frustrating.

It was 8 hits in 4 games lol.....

YES THEY ARE! I JUST WANT MY FREE CARDS SHEEEET

What’s frustrating to me isn’t failing, but that moments and especially showdown play differently than regular games on the same difficulty.
