I've bought this game every year since 17'. It breaks my heart that I didn't play 16' in its life cycle because that was the best one online game play wise. My friend will buy it next year, but I will not. I'm done paying for the game. Patches ruin it every single year.

First try. No doubter home run to left field, a perfect perfect warning track flyout to center (surprise surprise), hard groundball single up the middle, and a double to right that Yordan Alvarez dived for and missed by about 5 feet. Honestly dumbfounded I beat this so easily. Especially when I heard it was Rendon's meh live series card. I'm chalking it up to luck more than anything.

Honus Wagner leading off in a conquest game on veteran against the Angels......Normal swing. Right into the million dollar paint can 🤯🤯🤯

My friend and I did home run derbys for hours with the best righties in the game power wise, and never got it. WOW. Honus of all people

Insane card yes, but Honus!?!?!?!?!

It's pretty embarrassing that they go to these annoying lengths on daily moments for a card nobody wants to actually use in Cy Young.

As far as pitching goes this year......if you are using pinpoint stick with that the entire time. While it is brand new this year, it is by far leaps and bounds better than analog, meter, and pulse. Figure out the pitchers you like to use regarding their timing, and find guys with pitch selections you like because once you can get their stuff down on pinpoint.......you'll be able to really maximize your skills with them on the mound.

Hitting is a whole different breed. Stick to zone, and don't look back. Find whatever is comfortable for you most with your pci settings, and whatever hitting camera you're most comfortable with. It's also not always about the cards with the highest or best stats either......Sometimes it really just comes down to the guys that you like regarding their swing, stance, timing...........It actually does go a long way on that front.

Take some BP with the best/fastest pitchers in the game to time up fastballs while also getting the offspeed paint dotting specialists..............and a monitor would definitely help if you really want to give yourself the best opportunities to succeed online at your max potential. Hope any of this helps you.

I actually pulled the 93 Breakout Eddie Matthews from my free scouting report pack. And also LS Cronenworth who just went diamond yesterday so technically a 2 diamond pack haha.

I bought Morgan in hopes of a nice profit down the line, but will give him a shot at 2nd in the meantime. Otherwise I've rolled with Robbie as well for the most part.

563 Feet. Shibe Park. Online event game in the Show 18. 2000 A's Jason Giambi hardware card. Made it all the way onto the roofs of the houses across the street in right field easily.

Worst case give the event a few more days since it's fresh, and all the players that want all the rewards will get them, and cash out so you might have an easier time getting what you need.

Neither does Rob Manfred aka the Commisioner of Major League Baseball imo, but here we are

Manfred’s a dummy, for lack of a better word. XD

I consider him things I cannot say here in good will or by policies enforced. I'll leave it at that. Otherwise I do really like the Tigers. Hope the rebuild phase after Mr. I's passing all works out. Detroit is a great city with great fans, and they deserve a capable team again.

Not a Tiger fan but I am a fan of Miguel Cabrera. Any day now he's going to hit his 500th

I’m not going to watch, Jack Morris won’t be calling it. ️

Yup, he screwed up. Has to live with it now.

He was suspended, not fired. IMO it sounded like he was referencing Looney Tunes and it was taken the wrong way. What has me fired up is that he was suspended AFTER he made a very sincere apology.

Shohei and Maddon aren’t offended by what he said. The majority of fans I’ve seen are against his suspension.

What really gets me is that Bob Brenly wasn’t suspended.

It certainly sounds to me like Morris meant no harm and was just having a bit of fun, but you have to be so careful these days. I think he'll be back just needs to take a break for a bit.

I agree, and that’s the sad part. It’s like nobody can say anything anymore without someone getting offended. IMO it’s not healthy to have to walk on eggshells with every word.

I think it was inappropriate but I don't think the punishment matches the 'crime'. Additionally, it's literally being labeled as Jack Morris uses racial slur on YouTube. That's simply ludicrous. Poor use of cultural appropriation to try to add a joking tone to how to pitch to Ohtani? Absolutely. Malicious racial slur? Not even close.

It’s not a slur! How could they call it that?? That video should be taken down because of the misleading title IMO.

Agreed. Google it. I'm really disappointed in society. I feel like it's mostly 'woke' Caucasian folks overcompensating. If we want to talk about Asian injustice let's talk about how we practically no coaches or managers of Asian descent in the major leagues. That's something to care about that actually impacts the Asian baseball community.

Ichiro was such a phenomenal player, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a coaching/managerial job (that I’m aware of).

I do agree that it’s Caucasians who are trying to overcompensate. Personally I don’t think it’s any of their business to determine what is best for another group—the same goes for all groups. Problems aside, we are a lot better off than we were 50 years ago, equality-wise. This kind of stuff threatens that achievement.

To Bally Sports and all the other people/corporations that are doing this kind of thing—how about instead of focusing on what makes us different, we focus on what makes us similar.

All they care about is the bottom line regarding $$$$ and the least amount of any sort of negative publicity as possible.

I remember listening to Harry Caray call a game Hideo Nomo pitched. Y'all should see if you can find it. That guy would day drink and say horrific things.

Ah those were the days, a much simpler time, a time where a man could drink before, during and after work.

Wait, I thought working from home brought that back. Am I confused?

It's always 5 O' Clock somewhere you're good

My team is changing is their entire name, and branding for being "racist" so it's all kind of a joke nowadays with people, and their perceived perception of things as they take it.

Unless you need more Ws for an event reward you want......No. Can it, give a less fortunate soul a mercy W, and start over if you so choose.

I had the same exact thing happen to me today in an event game. Was so weird, and saw this post beforehand so just couldn't help but laugh and think of this. Thankfully it didn't last long, and I ended up getting a W. It was a first for me all year long.

As a offline only player who sucks at showdown and failed it twice I bit the bullet and tried the event. It took me 10 games to get 5 wins. 2 of them where from players that quit. If I can do it anyone can, I am not very good at the game and struggle to hit vs the CPU on all star.

All of this! just suck it up and do the event. I got one win from someone that quit. Got my 5 wins and haven't been back to it since!

I finally decided to bite the bullet as well after getting off work this morning, and try to go for 5 wins/16 FoD program points since the event ends tomorrow.........Took a couple hours. Sure definitely was a little lucky too with a disconnect W, and a couple quit Ws with a lead. 5 wins.

As much as I have sincere disdain for trying to hit online and not being able to time up just about anything with good placement whatsoever in addition to in my opinion having a very underwhelming team for this event having 0 All Star players, and 0 Stage 2 legend diamonds.........Another example of a self proclaimed not good player got it done. If you're reading this.......It's possible!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s so good at shutting down 99 Tim Anderson with that 118/108 vs left, I think I’ll put him in my bullpen, said nobody ever.

Anyone in the “get better at the game, the moment is on veteran” camp should prove how good they are by taking LS Britton into ranked.

Got them all on the first or second try, as did probably 90 percent of others.

It really comes down to the fact that you really just may need to get better at the game.

4x WS and 2x 12-0 here and I spent a good 15-30 minutes on some of these. The Stanton moment took me close to 20 tries. Sometimes it isn’t as simple as get better.

Appreciate your input, and honesty. Sure I absolutely get it will obviously be a challenge to get a 99 overall SS with diamond hitting and defense, but these moments aren't what they seem at face value on paper.

There's definitely something up with these FoD game moments. I was playing the Jose Abreu hr in one game moment...........115 power against lefties (Heaney+Britton) and it was like hitting with a wet noodle. Felt way off.

Took a just barely oppo shot to right off Heaney, but it happened after like 7 tries of being dumbfounded lol.

It's all good though. Currently riding the wave of happiness of actually beating the 6 hit, 3 xbh Justin Turner moment

Showdown is much worst than moments, your bats are nerfed beyond belief, the AI pitching is pinpoint at will with every pitch and the D...oooh boy the superpowered AI defense...but be careful bc dont want the shills and a$$kissers to cry to their masters about your criticism of the game

I don't even bother with showdowns at all personally. I'm not nearly good enough at hitting in the game whatsoever to compensate for all the nonsense, and I really don't have the patience to try again when I inevitably fail on a showdown boss and have to do the same moments over and over again for a slim to none chance of success.

Playing the Tigers on the Roman numeral conquest map. LS Jeimer Candelario at third base........Bronze defender..........more like Brooks Robinson with the stupid ridiculous plays he made on me.
