Stuck in a moment… and you can’t get out of it?
-
I hate moments and showdowns but must be getting very lucky this year. Only a few moments gave me fits. Surprisingly the Kaijou moments went easy and just skipped Hernandez and opted to do the repeatable points with the players. Rolled through most Showdowns in 1 or 2 tries except TA West took like 6, I hate the hitters they offer. Again has to be luck because I'm usually ready to smash my controller during both modes and believe moments is the worst idea in video game history.

This isn't a moment, but a showdown. 2020 showdown. First inning showdown. I swear these things are intentionally rigged against the player. My job is to get one run and 2 hits without making three outs. OK, This should be easy, even for me. First batter, solid single to right. Second batter, perfect perfect single to center. Third batter perfect perfect single to center to score the winning run. NOPE. Super dive activated, center fielder dives forward 10 feet catches the ball .01 inches off the ground for a triple play to rip me off.
If this is the "easy" challenge what is the 9th inning challenge? You have to hit a grand slam on the first pitch of the game and the bases are empty? One of the rare times I actually was hitting right out of the gate and I get completely ripped off.

They should change the name from "Moments" to "Hours" I'm terrible at the game but I do enjoy collecting cards. I carve out a solid 6 hours to complete moments. Extremely frustrating and curse words. This is totally stupid but if I struggle with one moment for too long it turns into genuine HATE for that player. Not only only in the game but in life.
I know it's stupid but I can't help it... I'll seek counseling so don't cry for me -
I told myself that I wasn't going to do it but after trying again this morning for too long to finish the Hernandez moment with zone hitting I finally switched to directional and cranked it out within 4 or 5 plate appearances.

SDS, here is why folks abhor Moments
My 5th time trying the mark McGuire weekly moment. (Even that is a joke). But in the 5th attempt, McGuire hits a perfect/perfect blast to CF. With his 120 power rating, the ball is caught at the track
C’mon dudes. Be better. Seriously.

That moment was awful. Moments in general are awful but season 2 captain cards are the worst. Just trying to complete their missions is chore let alone complete a moment. Every one of them do nothing but hit singles and when you do get into a ball it's caught on the warning track. McGuire, Guerreo Jr., and Vaughn are the worst of a sorry lot.

Found an image of the bat Big Fundy is using in the Incognito Program Moment...

Mark Vientos will never hit a homerun. This moment is awful. Everything is hit to the warning track. So annoying

I got all the new moments done but that one was the one that probably took me the most tries.

10 tries on power swing, nothing. 1st try on regular swing I got it. Try that, I’m having much better luck with it than power

In the 2020 version of the game you have to hit a home run with Jackie Robinson in Forbes Field on a card with power rating in the 60's if I remember. Even though I have actually completed the program I keep trying this challenge. One time I actually hit a line drive that rolled to wall in right center field.
The throw from the relay guy to the catcher was way off the line, the catcher, who has a bad speed rating somehow raced 5 feet to home plate to beat Robinson, who I think is in the 80's for speed to tag me out despite me being closer to home.
Moments are a massive time sink and it feels like one of those match 3 games my friend's sister plays. You just have to keep playing until you get the "lucky board" to win

Seiya Suzuki is making things challenging

Which is why moments are inconsistent. One persons dream moment is another persons nightmare. I had trouble with Viento but got this in the first swing. It’s luck, not skill, which is the issue with moments

Big ground out Fundy, can't even get 4 bases. On my 15th attempt. This is just pathetic
Attempt #25
I don't want to do this moment anymore
Finally on attempt #35 - worst moment so far this year sds.

The Kest Daddy moment is broken somehow. Spent at least an hour on it. Anything that he hits hard has almost no elevation on it. You cannot pick up the ball of the pitcher until it is almost at the plate.
(Update) I finally got it after taking a desperation swing at an outside strike and it BARELY got over the right field wall.

I used to think Keith Hernandez was a pretty good hitter. But then I tried his moment 200 times and... bleh.
This. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make him hit a HR instead of an XBH deserves to be kicked in the nuts hard.
-
Ok....ready for this? I hate moments like we all do and we are all used to the warmimg track and jumping catches but what happened to me yesterday has to be the all time worst. The 4 total bases with LeMahieu.....I'm about 30 tries in when I need just a base hit in what is going to be my last at bat....the base runner on first attempts to steal and gets thrown out FAIL....my very next attempt I need just a single again in my last at bat and the runner on first gets picked off FAIL....I mean come on man. Took like 8 more tries before I hit a HR to complete it.
-
Not necessarily stuck, but a comment on Moments. In the Icognito program, trying the first two Moments.
I believe all 3 of them are against pitchers that do NOT highlight the strengths of the batters.
For example, boom bat guy is facing a lefty. His power and contact are lower facing a lefty than a righty.
Set up to fail. Not set up for success.

This moment, I’ll be back, need to go buy new controllers. Big Fundy???? More like the big Not…fun…dy.
Why…just why???

I actually just attempted the big fundy moment and got it done on my second try. Whenever I see someone with high average and low power I always use regular swing, maybe that will help.
God help you if you used power swing
