That Showdown felt oddly easy, almost as simple as the HR Derby one. Agree with the poster who mentioned Gibsons speed changes but I only needed the 2 runs and blasted 2 solo shots in no time. Just stay away from his higher fastballs, all fly outs.

@UnsaferRainbows_XBL said in Idk why I bother:

Decided to check out the new program to take a break from cfb25 immediately met with a bug on the Brett Phillips moment dude on second just stops on 3rd guess you have to hit a home run? Who knows already closed the game they really need to just take a year or two off from making these games

Moments are probably the worst mode ever created.

The difficulty level is not accurate.

It's a time suck because, and rightfully so if it's supposed to be baseball, walks happen, errors happen, poor baserunning out of user control happens, etc....

Add in the insane amount of warning track catches, jump at the wall robbery, and diving outfield catches, the mode never feels rewarding.

Before the fan boys jump all over me, I'm not whining about it being difficult. I can hit the HR needed on the first pitch or take 30 freaking tries it still always feels like you complete the moment when they let you not because you played it well.

I'm in the minority but moments had it's moment.....get rid of it. Fortunately I have the time to complete most programs without doing them but man I feel for those who don't....

3 Golds and Diamond Dylan Cease. It's not great but it's free so no complaints

I surround my original stronghold first then take the nearest stronghold to the west of it while filling in the blank spaces in the North West until I reach what would be Seattle.

I then move down the West Coast and start back East. By the time I reach Houston I can start occasionally skip to reinforce.

I'll make 2 large groups and continue moving East through the south and middle of the map. I'll take all the South East strong holds and then just skip to reinforce moving up the East Coast taking two or three strongholds a turn.

I get what the OP is saying. Most of us play a lot so season to season we can start with a pretty good team. I think his point is if you're a really casual player who loves the game but has very little time to play you can't possibly keep up season to season and finally unlocking cards means nothing if they become useless because you didn't have the time to grind out a bunch of wild card slots. That said I'm pretty sure that's the plan by SDS. You either play their game a lot or break out your credit card. While I enjoy the game and play a lot, this game was way better 4-5 years ago in my opinion.

Willie McCovey was a nightmare but the moonshot event isn't a problem. If you're trying to bang out 15 HRs play vs the CPU in Colorado. I hit 18 HRs with my live series lineup in one game. It's boring but if your interest is juat banging it out quick for the rewards that's the path.

I will say the Yordan card so far is worth it. Threw him into my line up for ALW affinity. 4 conquest games 11 AB 4 HRs 4 Doubles. Guy hits bombs or smoked gap shots. I've always hit well with his live card so I must like his swing.

Put speed guys your top 3 batters, good vision and power after. If you don't put the first two batters on restart immediately.

Lol...so if anyone read earlier McCovey took me FOREVER. Easily over an hour and a half to hit 2 HR on Veteran with a 99 power hitter. Hundreds of pitches.

I'm now doing a conquest game on veteran with players lower than McCovey. I've hit 4 hr with the first six batters on a total 11 pitches.

SDS do not tell us Veteran in moments is the same Veteran in all modes.

For those that beat Percival, how did you do it? I need some tips because i can't even make contact his pitches are so fast.

Pretty much what other guys said. Put speed in the top 3 good vision and power after. If you don't put the first 2 batters on, restart. That's how I did it.

Finally....I think the game felt bad for me. After hitting just 1 HR in 1 hour and half I got to fat change ups in a row for bombs. Program done and I'll never use a McCovey card ever again lol

Willy McCovey....I'm noticing all my Good and Perfects the exit velocity is always under 100. Is he using a whiffle ball bat?? This one is now taking me longer than the rest of them combined. I am 1 hr and 30 min in I have 1 HR

I have 3 left but had to step away for a break. Willie McCovey swings a pool noodle and 85% of what King throws is out of the strike zone. The other 15% he's painting corners. I got 1 mistake pitch over 30 minutes which I hit for a HR but sometimes you need to step out of the batters box and adjust your gloves and jock strap for a bit before stepping back in....

EDIT: just have Willie left. Grrr

Oracle park is the absolute worst place to hit home runs.

Unless you are a power hitting lefty.

this moment is more a matter of luck than anything, just get the sinker at the bottom(not under) or a hanger and hit it into the place named for him.
Therin lies the rub, he has the advantage but getting the pitches to hit.....

That's really my problem with it I guess. King, unless it's just bad luck on my part, seems to only throw bad out of the zone pitches or Cy Young like painting of the lines. Usually try try again you'll get your pitch but I'm just not. Hitting a couple off the wall isn't helping the frustration level lol

I can't hit Percival, the ball leaves his hand and i swing immediately and every single time it's very late swing result.

I can't swing any sooner...

This one was tough. Put guys with 99 speed and good stealing at the top of the order. Try bunt cheesing or keep plugging away but if you don't put the first two batters on, restart. That's what I did. Eventually I put the first 2 on and had the 99 Devers at cleanup and hit a 3 run HR. Went 13 innings but I stole it. FYI they won't take Percival out and no matter how tired he gets he still throws perfect 100 fast balls and 79 change ups which is total BS

So far it's been surprisingly easy and I guess I'm getting lucky because I started with what I thought would be the hardest ones but knocked out 12 in less than an hour. All but one are on Veteran which we all know is subjective but ends up being pretty easy just tedious.

The comeback and win in the 9th down 3 runs against Percival was brutal because no way those speed changes, painting corners and smaller PCI were veteran but still did it after 7 tries, and when I say 7 I mean if I didn't put the first 2 batters on base I started over. Moments are not really skill based they are more do you have the time and patience.

I rake HR like crazy with his Topps Now card.

And the baseball us your "Precious"....

But why would you? If you need to grind stats with say 1B and you have a bunch of diamonds, why would you use a common or bronze?

You literally said in the OP that you havent had to use any golds since week 1. Why would you? I dont know....some people like a challenge. The freedom is there to use them if you want but seriously, people complain about tedious grinds for 89s...how do you think people would react if that tedious grind for 89s required X amount of hits with a silver LS card on the A's?

You must be new to this game and really are not understanding. The stuff I'm talking about existed in the game 5 years ago. They changed the whole model and replaced it with boring moments and repeated stat grinds you can do with any of the 50 diamonds everyone has by the second week of release.
You are right about people will complain but that's always gonna happen.....welcome to the show

You must be a moron who doesnt understand what he's actually saying so i'll try to dumb it down even further for you. You're complaining that theres no reason to use lower tier cards when literally the only thing stopping you from using them is....and see if you can follow along here....YOURSELF.

Your big idea to solve the "wash rinse repeat" model of "get HRs with 1B" or "Get hits with LF" is to make them player or team specific. How revolutionary. So instead of being limited to "Get HRs with ANY 1B IN THE GAME", we'll have the broad challenge of "Get HRs with a Live Series 1B on the Rockies". What a game changer. Someone give this kid all the moneys to run SDS. Your solution is basically an older model of "wash rinse repeat". Cant get any dumber than that.

Name calling the last resort of a small mind. Your comprehension level is that of a 3rd grader if you truly don't understand what I meant. Please stop hurting yourself trying fanboy and let the adults in the room discuss the game constructively. Just know I'm rooting for you big guy.
