Hitting Moments
-
Yep, has to be one or the other. They clearly know the community prefers multiple ways to finish programs. So going against the grain means they don’t care what players want and are content with minimal effort and/or trolling the community that has loudly turned against them for the absolute mess this game has become.

Hey, do you think Carlton Fisk was irritated or honored that Papi was wearing his jersey?
2️⃣7️⃣??? P.S. Do I finally need glasses or were the strike zones a bit narrow on some of the Groan-ments? -
Funny thing is the Ozzie moment was one of the easiest ones I've done so far. Took me 2 attempts.
The XBH with Montgomery was a nightmare.
After complaining, the Ozzie one took me 5 or 6 tries. But you're right about Montgomery. That one took a while.

Moments at the beginning of this season were fairly straightforward. A couple of times (at most) to get them.
Since the Allstar break ( and the release of 99’s), they’ve turned back into their diabolical selves again.
-
I think the CPU pitching has gotten far worse as it’s common to get 1 or less hittable pitch. Don’t need meatballs down the middle but zero pitches to hit on multiple attempts is ridiculous.

@samguenther1987_PSN I just need them to pitch the ball. The delay iis terrible
-
But it increases play time.

Recreate HR with Ozzie in the WS with 74 power? Ouch. sorry @dolenz_psn
Which program is that in? Postseason?

So, the Ozzie moment took me way longer than any other moment all year.
I tried power hitting, I even tried direction as a last resort instead of zone and finally got it when I switched back to zone on a just early that had no business going anywhere.
Thankfully none of the other moments provided much grief aside from the 3 strikeouts with Gaddis ([censored] Meidroth kept being contact jesus on the third out despite super low contact numbers).
Anyway, all moments done.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN I almost got it. I had the alternative camera but it was a foul ball. I’m doing bottom middle of the PCI.

Just got it using PCI at bottom middle.
-
@capardo_XBL my problem with that moment, took me 28 tries, no matter the swing, I was late on everything.

I thought the Ozzie one would be my biggest issue but Noel one oddly took me half hour
-
@JediEl1823_PSN Moments can feel very random. I got the Ben Rice 3 hit moment on the first try, but it took me a good 30 attempts or more to hit a home run with Alec Bohm.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW It's really chugging. They really need to go back to when you could complete a program by doing all the missions and skipping one (or two) of the moments.
-
Ryan Vilade, the ball is just dying, huge power right to the wall.... caught. Attempt number 20 coming up

Although historical, the Ozzie moment is diabolical. 74 power has me flying out to the warning track on perfect perfect fly balls on repeat. After wasting 20 minutes of my life I’ll never get back it’s time to come back later.
This is my biggest issue with moments. They are mostly just time sink in their current format. At most they shouldn’t require more than 3-5 attempts to complete so players can appreciate the moment, progress in the program, and return to actually playing the game.
Defeating a moment after wasting 30 minutes of time isn’t one of accomplishment it’s simply one of relief. Make moments easier to finish or give more missions to allow players to skip certain moments if they choose. Requiring them is not the way, especially when they are riddled with RNG and horrendous CPU pitching.
