Stuck in a moment… and you can’t get out of it?
-
Not a Moment (per sae), but just finished an MTO season. Chose the Orioles, played on Rookie. Regular season was a ton of fun, in fact, set the record for most wins in a season.
Post season? Uh, not so much. EVERY game in the playoffs and World Series WAS scripted. Every single one. Perfect/perfect outs, CPU double plays when needed, my pitchers not pitching the ball anywhere near where I aimed, every CPU fielder won a gold glove, every game a 9th inning or extra inning walk off. I spent more time yelling at my TV than enjoying my playoff run.
Think Showdown on steroids!!
I did make 42,500 towards TA. But I’m out on MTO. Too sweaty for my tastes.
Thanks to all who suggested MTO to get TA progress.

Regular season is great and you can get 20kXP on the minor level setting but yah the only time i've played the playoffs was with the Dodgers and thats just because i knew i could finish the NL West otherwise i wouldn't have done it.
Just got to the playoffs with the Mets, traded for JD Martinez to add more power and then got lucky and added Classe from the Guardians to go with Edwin Diaz. It's made the 7th, 8th, 9th so much easier. Won 119 games.

Ahhh, so maybe that’s what I should do. Just play the regular season and then move on. I played on Rookie and got 20k towards TA in the regular season Thanks! Great tip.

May Topps Now Moment. Logan Gilbert 3k in one inning.
I think we all can agree that 3 k’s in one inning Moments need to be moved to the Extreme program!!

I picked up Hader AND Aroldis Chapman with my Mets run. It was lights out and such fun. I did a dodgers run next and got 130 wins and swept the WS against the Jays using Thor as my lights out man in the bullpen

Amen about MTO. It's all over the place. Umpires call balls strikes, and vice-versa.
I only played it for the 2 trophies, and somehow got through the bs you face in MTO.
That 'Momentum' thing means nothing in the postseason. All games start in the 6th, you have to play all games, sometimes you start behind.
It's so cheap that I've grown to dislike it. Imagine it on Legend difficulty. -

Hey i did the same thing as the Dodgers lol, only game the Jays came close was game 3 when Chapman hit a home run to put the Jays up 3-1 but then Romano fell apart in the 9th and i scored 5 times what a lineup lol. Even Trace Thompson was hitting no doubters. I tried to get Ohtani in the offseason, lost him to the Reds lol.

Not impressed with the May Topps Now pitching moments. 3 innings of perfect ball by Chris Bassett vs the Braves.
Yeah, right.
I’m hoping I can skip this one and the Logan Gilbert one and still finish May.
-
Ok. Mays Topps Now. Matt McClain Moment.
Twice now, he has reached base on an error.
Isn’t that “getting on base”?
Moment says to get on base twice in a game.
-
Jose caballero moment. Game refuses to give me a homer here. Guy hits line drives everywhere. Just not enough to get a homer
And he only gets three at bats as well.
Sneaky, SDS. Sneaky.

"Getting on base " is a walk hit or HBP.
a fielders choice-an out is recorded on the play, and an error is -you should be out but aren't due to a misplay/ mistake -

Post it here and BAM. It gets answered.

So, it appears as if you need to do ALL the May Topps Now Moments in order to complete the program without using the exchange.
Sneaky. Since I’ve skipped the Bassett one against the Braves, guess I’ll be buying some dudes on the market.
-
Ok, am I missing something? May Topps Now Flashbacks. Rich Hill and Jacob Stallings are NOT part of the Collection for Set 2?
Or have I played too long today?
-
May monthly awards: dauri moreta moment.
That guy gives up nothing but HOMERS. Holy cow.
Oh, and he doesn’t throw strikes either.
He’s terrible. How did he get a monthly card??
-
The May monthly Freddie freeman moment is one of the prime examples of why I hate moments. 3 of the 5 times I tried this: 2 hits in first two at bats. The other two/three at bats? Perfect/perfect or 100+ line drives right at folks. This is a moment. PROGRAM one of those to be a hit. It ain’t that hard. Set us up for success. Not to fail.

Well, here I am. Nowhere near ready to start Extreme.
I can’t even get a Home run with Joey Votto off Jakob Junis.
Update- it works every time. 2 pitches later. And it was a bad swing on a bad pitch.

I saw this and ended up coming across that Moment right after. This post gave me the luck to get it on the second swing (first swing was a foul ball). Thanks for the good luck!
