The only moments I get annoyed at losing are pitch 8 innings without giving up a run type where I'll do 7 2/3 and then cpu hits a perfect perfect home run on a pitch a foot outside
And it’s always a guy with 50 or less power.

Moments aren't that bad my guy. I have had a couple that took quite a few attempts (McMahon), but I still get them done. This game already has a problem (imo) with giving things away for free or for little effort. Sorry, but I feel like a bit of a struggle is necessary for a quality game. Right now the only struggle is trying to accumulate enough stubs to complete collections.
They’re not that bad at all. I mean it’s on veteran. These guys want a participation prize! Jeez

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!?!?
You need to go into mode specific settings and change the length of cpu at bats to “entire at ball” or “all pitches” instead of action pitches or half of the at bat.

This one is wrecking me. Can't steal when locked to save my life.
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.
Good tips. I'll give it a try.

What’s frustrating to me isn’t failing, but that moments and especially showdown play differently than regular games on the same difficulty.
This is exactly the problem. I don’t think anyone is against a challenge for a reward, but calling moments “rookie” or “veteran” difficulty and then messing with the sliders to make them harder is deceitful and lame. Just make them on All Star or Legend if they need to be challenging.

It's like someone just informed me that you can get bread pre-sliced. Thank you!

It is a fine line IMO. Do I enjoy doing the moments? Yeah, for the most park. Some are harder than others. Some make me want to throw my controller. But if they were too easy, that'd be pretty lame too.

Hold R1 and lean, you get a WAY better jump. I haven’t struggled with a steal moment in years once I remembered this from RTTS. Extremely effective.

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
given a reward for persistence? i bet you're one that thinks everyone that plays should get a trophy too. Or the guy washing the dishes at McDonalds should be give that CEO job of Amazon cause well gosh dang it he tried really hard. While i agree they can be frustrating AF, work harder to get them. Separates the level of player and dedicated players from the casual. It's like Judge Elihu Smails says "Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too."

Ha! Yeah I have a bunch of friends on Xbox this year I’ve been trying to tell all about these little quirks in there. Someone told me about this one a couple years ago and it was mind blowing. Good luck!

Ooooooo that sucks. But until someone told me, I struggled too.
-
Wow...just wait till Moments Extreme comes out. You think you're bitching now........wait till you need 3 HRs in one game on Hall of Fame or 4 XBH in one game on HoF.......
-
Agree. The only thing worse than moments is conquest.
Not looking forward to extreme.
-
For the most part I enjoy most moments and look forward to them.. But I gotta say McGriff 7hits and 4xbh. That one is about to make me throw my controller. I was down to 1xbh left. So pissed.
-
I would give SDS money to be able to skip them without even having to try them once. Money money money money money
-
I totally forgot that there are people who do this for money, never mind SDS, I'll just pay them. Nanny nanny boo boo
-
The only thing they should change with moments is have them on HOF.
-
That's what gets me with these. They're supposed to be based on the real world events that took place. Well. Paul DeJong wouldn't have had 2 HRs with a Salami if Joe Ross was throwing a gem, so why is he throwing no hitters into the 8th in the Moment?

Everyone gets a trophy? Screw that
Not everyone gets a trophy. Everyone should have the exact same odds when they play the Moments slot machine.
Moments is nothing more than software randomly animating baseball action with nearly no help from your controller. Typically, the very first time you play one, you get through it fairly easily. But everyone's encountered that Moment where the cherry's aren't popping on the slot machine.
I don't think it's fair that RNG makes the same Moment impossible to win a couple times through for one player, but easy-cheezy for another. But it does. Can't be denied.
Also believe there is some counter in most Moments that actually does increment and just hands out that win after a certain amount of times through.
Probably coded the best way the help thought they could code it.
