Stuck in a moment… and you can’t get out of it?
-
Honestly moments are too inconsistent. I had a much harder time on the one hit Arraez moment than the 2 Xb hit one
-
A big problem with moments that are 6 or 8 total bases or 2 extra base hits are the way the game simulates around your at bats coupled around the horrendous pitching leads to about 90% of your attempts giving you 3 at bats to achieve the feat. I feel like I’ve had a single moment take longer than a 9 inning game. They probably haven’t but they feel like it.

I just noticed I was the first person who gave the OP @Ericulous1_PSN a thumbs up for this thread. Everyone that commented here should go back and do the same, it lasted all year!

Hahaha thanks man. It’s definitely been a good one that I believe we can all relate to.

Thankfully the topps now was easy this week. Topps now moments were the worst because none were shippable and you had to do all to unlock everything.
Hopefully they are done now. Later Topps now, you will not be missed

They are not done yet, look for then to return for the division series

The September monthly awards moments are sneakily tough. I don’t think I’ve gotten any of them on the first try.
The Velasquez moment is not possible. He’s hit nothing close to the warning track. A line drive gap hitter.

I completed most of them, some took more than others (I’m looking at you Mountcastle). The ones I didn’t complete I probably can, it’s just a 4 TB and 3 hit mission but I also did the exchange and had the Topps now cards.
If you have the Stubbs, buy and exchange the set 3 bosses, they always seemed to be cheapest.

Least you can get a hit with him, he's an out machine for me.

Ha! I ended up skipping that one after 20+ attempts. I also skipped the Pivetta one. Two K’s vs the Orioles. Not happening. Not with his stuff.
Again, I don’t think I got any of these on the first go. They were toughies.
Got all missions except for the 5k one. Had the Topps Now players. Used the exchange for the final 10 points.
I like programs like this. Short and sweet and multiple ways to finish. I’m tough on SDS, but kudos to them in this one.

I'm glad to read that I'm not alone with the Abreu September TN moment. Geesh, 32 speed. He hits a fly ball to the wall and if they don't catch it, the second baseman has the ball in his glove by the time Abreu gets to the bag.
-
The Royce Lewis moment in postseason program.
Over 20 times. Including 6-6 game. Several 4 hit games. Nothing even close to a homer.
He’s “rod carew” in my moments.

No, I was right. Topps now looks to be done. The biggest problem I had with them is you had to complete them all to unlock everything, other programs give you other things you can do to get everything

Yes, it apears i was wrong and moments will now be in programs like the division program my bad, make no mistake i'm happy they are done for another year as well.

I was hung up on the Johny Bench 2 XBH moment for The Pennant Chase program for about 45 min. Even grabbed a video clip of the LF apparently hitting his nitrous switch to grab a laser to left. Some of these moments a just a touch suspect at times!
-
Vasquez. Clemente Program. Dude has 110 Power vs LHP. 3 perfect smashes. 3 died at the warning track. 3 not only died, but we’re caught like lazy fly balls. Devs, take your parlor tricks elsewhere!!! I preordered Spider-Man, see! You’ll fool me NO MORE.
-
Another small gripe. If a pitcher has ~50 H/9 and the batter 100-125 contact every hit related moment should be completed within 3 attempts unless the CPU is doing something hinky. If they have ~50 HR/9 and the batter has 100-125 power the same goes for XBH and homerun moments.
-
ARRRRGH! Hilton Smith (The Negro Leagues). Pitch 3 perfect innings. Ugh! I'm falling asleep on my 5th try. I lost one round because of a comebacker, and I didn't pick it up in time to throw to 1B. Then I thought to myself...if I would have thrown to 3B instead, that would have been an error and not giving up an error is not on the list. But, then I thought again...the game probably wouldn't count it as an error, even though it would be.
-
Hank Thompson's (The Negro Leagues) second moment. Get two extra base hits. He faces Bob Drake a right hander. Thompson has 89 CON R (pretty good), 70 POW R (again, not bad), and 81 speed. You would think with these attributes that getting an XBH would be routine. They are in Old Cominsky (I think), so there is plenty of room in the outfield. Drake has 63 K/9, 55 CTRL, 65 VEL, and 60 BRK. Again, with those numbers Thompson should be raking the ball. Why oh why am I stuck on this one? It's even on Rookie! Man...
Oh - and not giving us a way to restart the moment when we know we won't be able to complete it is bogus. We can only quit, and go back to a menu that says continue or restart instead of just restarting the moment.

This is just one of the little annoyances that made these moments such a slog. That and having to listen to that stupid intro music before being able to skip on quickly to the moment is another that stuck in my craw. There was one of those moments with Dihigo that I honestly thought I’d NEVER finish!!! What a slog
