If you're not using it already Directional hitting/Normal swing is your friend for these moments bud. As others have stated it's bomb after bomb with this card from both sides of the plate. The one where you play against the Mets I took 2 walks and hit 6 home runs, it was crazy.
Embarassed to say, but I dont know how to use directional hitting
Switched to zone in 17 and dont know how to work with directional anymoreUnderstood, I'm a zone hitter as well but for any of these moments I'll switch to directional just to get them over with. Even cards with limited power like gold Jackie Robinson magically discover their power stroke with directional hitting.
Anyway switch to directional and hold the stick straight up to influence a fly ball and just wait for something up in the zone and time it properly then watch it fly and then wonder why you don't use directional all the time

Im glad you found it easy, and its good. I just needed to vent a bit
It never fails, no matter what Moment or Showdown someone is having trouble with someone else will come into the thread to tell them how easy it was for them. I am sure that many are trying to be encouraging but most of the time it comes off as bragging and is not really useful.
I did not have as many problems with the multi game Posada moments as I thought I would. I struggled mightily on the 7 total bases mission though. Everything was a pop up of a line out during that mission.
If dashboarding wasn't a thing then I am pretty sure that I would almost never get a multi game moment done. I am too streaky. I really do hate multi game moments though. The mechanics of how they actually work in the game are annoying. Exiting to the menu after every game, not being able to restart even the first game without exiting back to the menu and resetting the whole moment. It is just a pain.

Anything Veteran or below I just used power swing and he would absolutely hit bombs. I think the moment that requires 8 hits 4 of mine were HRs. He’s got an awkward stance though so it might be throwing you off a bit

Hm, Ill finish my work and then give it a go
Thanks for everyone.

Strangely I hit nothing but line drive singles using power swings with posada, but hit plenty of home runs and doubles with the regular swing. From my experience, I’d say use the normal X swing and wait for the meatballs
-
Got them all done last night...The rookie missions were the hardest. I can't for the life of me hit on Rookie. flew through the Veteran and All-Star but I'll be damned if I can't hit on Rookie.
-
What annoys me about these moments is that every game starts the same way. Posada is in the 2-hole, and LeMahieu is on third with no outs. Has no impact on the game, it's just lazy.
-
Pop up fest for me. Maybe I don’t like his stance or swing but Kaline’s were a piece of cake compared to these. I cant hit [censored] with Posada.
-
Posada's moment had some frustrating times, but he had a little more pop for me than others
-
Yeah, I switched to directional, struggle too much with that card. And I did the exchanges instead of one of the multiple game moments.
It was cheaper yesterday, catcher prices are up obviously.
Glad I have it done for 2nd inning points. But I'll never use the card. I have plenty of Yankees and would rather use Diamond Sanchez if I do need Yankees innings.

I am not a great player I would even say a below average player. I do have really good games sometimes but most of the time its a one run win. I actually am pretty bad with kluber. My first onlione game against him he got tagged for 4 runs in the first 2 innings. But I have to say these moments have been easy for me. Posada mashes like Lou an Jimmy mashed everything last year. Normally I dread hitting home runs as a moment but I found it very easy to get perfect perfect with him in several moments. Although I had a perfect liner right to the outfielder.
Also had kris davis make a diving grab to a sinking liner in left center field that he would never make in real life but that is just beating a dead horse at this point.
-
I cruised through the Kaline moments and didn’t have too much trouble with Jackie except for the 2 doubles. I cruised through the first four of Posada but the multi game ones are giving me trouble. I hit fine most of the time and then just hit a rut where I fly out deep repeatedly and I’ve come up one hit short several times.
To me, the Posada card is a perfect example of this game. I get plenty of hits swinging left handed (where he has more power) but can’t do much right handed (where he has more contact).
Reading this thread, I gave directional a try and it’s still not helping. Tell me how you can use directional, have good timing on a swing and completely swing through the pitch? How is that even possible? I timed it up, which is all I can do as a hitter in directional.
Also, the Mariners lefties throw so [censored] slow. I’m early on everything. And, again, it would be nice if the CPU would occasionally throw strikes. Tired of walking when the 4th ball isn’t even anywhere close to the zone to swing

I wish i knew...
All my hits die at warningtrack, pop out, go to short or third. On mariners moment and best i got was 5 hits and 2 xbhMine too. That’s what’s most frustrating I guess. I will be way ahead of the pace on the multi game moments and then I go on a bad streak of popping out to the track or grounders to first or third (with Dan Vogelbach making diving plays).
And why do relievers come out of the pen throwing their fourth best pitch and then their third best pitch? That never happens. Many relievers only throw two pitches, but I digress.
I just don’t get directional. How can I swing and miss at a pitch in the middle of the zone when I get good timing on my swing. Just had a hanging curveball that I was pressing up and the result was good-popped, a foul pop to the catcher.

I got a pop-up at a warningtrack
Yea...its...hard...guess we all have moments that we rockout easy and moments we struggle.
But, can't give up -
For me, when I swung with X I had better results than power swinging.
Other than that, just be patient as others have said and good luck
And use/practice zone hitting if you aren’t already. When I made that change in 17, it was like a brand new game for me
-
Im a zone hitter for years now
And thanks, i do my best and will finish them. Probably broken right hand is not the best helper, but hell, If i got hits on online games, i should be able to get them offline too.One good thing, i get lot of xp doing those moments over and over
-
Yeah this felt very RNG to me. My PCI placement was pretty good throughout. Lots of perfect perfect outs and then lots of perfect perfect hits. Felt like when it worked it really worked but when it didn't it was just awful. I finished it but it took longer then it should of based on my PCI placement.

Thanks for the tip. It has done wonders to help me. I did 4 posada moments and hit 6 homeruns. 1st 2 took one attempt, 7 total bases took 3 attempts but I jacked 4 homers during those 3 attempts
