When did Monthly Moments get so easy and Topps Now get impossible, I can’t get Yasmani Grandal to hit a single ball in the air, but it took me 20 minutes maybe to finish all the Monthly Moments?

Also, the game is slow as [censored].

For the life of me, I can’t get the dude to get extra base hits. Tons of good to great timing. Plenty of perfect-perfect and haven’t had any extra base hits. Does he not power swing well?

They [censored] suck. The worst.

I've been getting a lot of perfect/perfect foul balls lately. I don't understand how a perfect timing hit can ever be foul...but here we are.

I don't think perfect/perfect was intended to be like that...in real life you can make a perfect follow through and contact and hit the ball square where you don't feel anything but it goes right to a fielder or foul straight back but your launch angle was off or you hit it slightly away from the barrel of the bat or slightly under or over. I think your DD casualness expects a simplistic black and white arcade experience.

If it’s slightly off, wouldn’t it just not be perfect-perfect?

Can someone explain how swing timing and swing path vary so radically from pitch to pitch. Some swing paths on balls right down the middle make zero sense to me. Some inside fastballs want me to catch it late while some outside fastballs want me to catch it early? It doesn’t make sense. Feels like a random roll of the dice sometimes from pitch to pitch

Judging a card by a moment?! Ok!

It was literally just a question. Ain't that deep.

Does his card just suck? Trying to do his moment and have ~14 power swings with contact ranging from good to perfect and the best result was a decent line drive down the left field line. Mostly weak grounders, swings and misses and one liner up the middle

For the love of everything that is holy, can you please give an option to restart 3-game moments immediately? Biggest waste of time in this game.

It feels like fastballs are getting on me way quicker since the last patch. I'm getting gassed up by 95 when I was a good bit early and had to be patient to wait before the patch

Saying you're late on 95 mph fastballs could mean anything...do you mean 95 on Default pitch speeds or 95 on Max pitch speeds?..this varies a lot. A 95 mph on default pitch speed is basically an 80 mph curve ball on max pitch speeds.

I mean, I'm playing online? Like everyone else.

Can someone explain to me how the timing meter can be so radically different from pitch to pitch? There are some inside pitches where the timing meter actually says it wants you to catch the ball late in the swing for "perfect timing." That doesn't make any sense. Also, some of these swing paths are hilariously bad. Some of them are so outside-in that it looks like someone with a broken golf swing that hits nothing but a monster slice. If a baseball player actually had a swing path like that, they would not make their high school team, much less make it to the MLB. I just really don't understand some of the logic that SDS put into this game. It does not really line up with real baseball. Disappointing to say the least.

Can something be done in Topps Now moments where pitchers don't become cowards when you are one hit away from completing a challenge? Can they be programmed to actually attack the hitters because I was a hit away with Mountcastle, and the pitcher refused to throw a pitch within a foot of the zone. It's pretty frustrating when you spend a ton of time trying to complete these crappy moments

How is it that the game can log all the stats that happened during the game I was playing when the servers were down but I don’t get credit for it in missions? [censored] [censored]. Trash. The users deserve better than this [censored].

Nope, Hitting and pitch timing is on point in this year's game. With testing the feedback window, even before it even goes up I can tell if I'm early or just early or good and I'm on Legend at pitch speeds at 10. If you feel the timing is off from looking at the feedback you might have what I call "privileged casual noob syndrome", where your "skills" don't match up with the results you're seeing so you look for some kind of blame...so obviously you blame the game's mechanics and not user skill. Don't worry "privileged casual noob syndrome" is quite common in today's instant gratification world but there is a cure.........practice and get gut! Or maybe stop playing The Show on a TV and get yourself a decent monitor

just fyi, hitting timing is way different online when you have to deal with the crappy servers. you have to be way earlier on almost everything just due to server lag

Oh I'll take your word for it, I would never play online with those cringe noob people anyways, so I'm good, I want to play a game of simulation baseball not some slow pitch arcade game so its offline Franchise on Legend at pitch speeds 10 with a mature Slider set.

Convenient of you to play offline where no one can verify your claims. Glad you chose to comment on this post and act like an arrogant toddler. Way to flex your pitch speed. We’re all really proud of you.

Signed,

“Cringe noob person” lol, you clown.

I played a game and made a bunch of progress with missions, but none of that progress is showing. What's up with that?

lol, it told me this was responding to another post. My fault.

I'm doing his moment now. It's the worst thing I've experienced in this game. He can't out of a wet paper bag, but somehow, I'm supposed to get 8 bases? I've been on this for two hours. No progress. It's a [censored] joke to see this game be this [censored] garbage. SDS should be ashamed of how bad this game is.

Just happened to me again with Paul DeJong. Under no circumstances should a pitch in the middle of the zone with perfect timing go foul. That egregious. This game is a [censored] joke.

The more I play this game, the more I hate it. I'm about to hang it up forever. The hitting mechanic is [censored] garbage. The timing meter is trash. This whole game is [censored]. I'm tired of playing a game that is full of [censored].
