Jackie Moments

So, I just gave it a test. Once you receive Gold Jackie Robinson, you can no longer complete any challenges from Part 1 for progress on Part 2. I guess this means you most likely have to take him OL for completion. (Sucks no stars for Inning 2).
Also, anyone have any luck with 2 HR in a game? Scared to even attempt.

I read this last night. Bummer as I have about 40 Jason Kipnis in the binder that I was going to exchange, but glad I won't be wasting them either and I can use them towards TA.
Thanks for confirming
Haven't tried the multi hr yet. I saw a video stating that they won't change the pitcher tho... So make him pitch

Thanks mate, figured it’s going to be the standard switch to directional and power swing at everything.

You can get the diamond card still, it gives you just barely enough points. But you are correct. They force you to play online if you want any of the rewards past 95 program points, and it's nonsense. I agree.
The two HR thing happened for me quicker than most. The last two or three at bats are with the pitcher with zero energy, and it gives you a massive boost. I hit several inside the park home runs, then capped it off with a regular one.
It's pretty rough, but if you get ahead in counts, you have a better chance at it than you might think. Not saying it's easy, but that's a huge ballpark, and anything past the center fielder has a shot at an inside the park homer.

Haven’t attempted yet, what park is it at; Polo or Forbes? Feel like this 2 2B is going to be the worse of the 2 lol
-
Forbes. The two doubles was way, way harder for me than the HRs, which stunned me, since I've seen YouTube videos from really good known players who took hours to beat this challenge. I did it in about 20-30 minutes and hit a bunch of inside the park homers before lucking into one over the fence in my second one. I don't use the PCI, just directional and swing timing, and I got ahead in the count, which helps a ton. The pitcher's energy will be at zero the last three at-bats. They give you tons of ABs, and that will help a lot. You'll see. It's at

To hit the two home runs just relax and don't try too hard. People want to compete this whole program in an hour then complain when they can't. Just relax and have fun with it. It is a bit difficult. I noticed I got 5 or 6 at bats per game so that helps. Good luck
-
After the first at bat, it gets dark, which makes pitches far easier to hit. I got a base hit the first at bat, then pulled on over the wall in the 2nd AB, and the pitcher was gassed when I came up a 4th time and pulled another one over the wall.
Aim to pull it. Brauny is bad, so you’ll get some meat, and he’s the only pitcher you face, so don’t worry if you don’t get a HR in the first AB
-
No idea why I’m having so much trouble with the Jackie and Zimmerman moments. I’m stuck on 2 of them. Just can’t seem to get enough pop for a hr with Jackie. So frustrating. Any hitting tips?

I loved hitting with Zimm. Sit on the high pitch, normal swing.
Now Jackie is another issue altogether. He is one of the weakest hitters I have ever used.
I was killing myself to do his moments and then I realized that I was grinding for a card that I will never use, in a program that doesn't give program stars. If you are a Jackie fan go for it, but otherwise don't kill yourself.
We have a POTM mission today and a 2nd inning program as well dropping today. -

Sure you can get everything but you can get Robinson without playing anything online.
You can get all 35 needed in Stage 1 by completing all the moments and just the exchange mission.
You can get another 30 in moments in stage 2 and you can get 30 more in the conquest missions and exchange. That will get you up to 95 stars which gets you the Diamond Robinson. You just wont get the extra stubs/exp for 100 or packs for 105. You will have to complete 1 or 2 of the online missions to get those. You can earn 110 points but they only have rewards for up to 105. Kind of odd they don't have anything at 110.
For the 2 HR mission just need to keep the PCI low to increase your chances of hitting the flyball sweet spot. It is really small for Robinson so it it going to take some time.
You can also win it with deep left/center shots to the wall with in the park HRs. The CF and SS have terrible accuracy so they are usually off the mark throwing it home.

Am i crazy or did they make this mission easier.......only says "Hit 1 Home Run" for me.....

They made it easier
Its also my power leveling go to... I just take pitches/don't play while I work, do chores, flip cards on my phone and it works out to 500+ exp per turn plus program stars. Tap X twice when you fail to start again. The controller even reaches from a different level of the house if I actually have to have my laptop connected to the extra screens for my job.
-
Yep they did, but his gold hard hits like s**t and cost me a few conquest games so I let that one go.
-
So I can't figure out how to steal in this. I have not had issues in game or even in the Granderson moment. What am I doing wrong? I mean not how to successfully steal the base, but literally what buttons should i be using to get a jump and actually move -- most times I try my player doesnt even move. Sorry for such a basic question but can't figure this out for some reason.

I just got him this week and I"m finding the same thing. I have Silver cards hitting doubles regularly and Robinson only getting singles, despite his speed.

Are program stars based on exp earned? How does it work for these moments.....it doesn't seem to be 1:1......

That LS Mark Canha card hits like a diamond, doubles or HRs every time!
