It is a glitch. Period. I finally played a game on a different Mini-Season and it immediately counted the same type of sacrifice bunt I'd been doing repeatedly in the C.C.Sabathia Mini-Season that I wasn't getting credit it for (even though I got credit for the Holds in the one). So if you're not getting credit in one Mini-Season, try the other. It has nothing to do with being in motion, how tall the batter is, knowing what a sac bunt is, etc. It worked in one and did not work in the other. It's annoying that SDS didn't flag or address this issue when it came up.

FWIW, I played a game on a different Mini-Season and it immediately counted the same type of sacrifice bunt I'd been doing repeatedly in the C.C.Sabathia Mini-Season that I wasn't getting credit it for. So if you're not getting credit in one, try the other.

@tear4eddy_PSN Um, I think it's pretty clear I know what a sac bunt is. And I've done half a dozen of them and not gotten credit in the Easter Egg program. So save the condescension and offer an actual solution. If you read my actual post, you'll see I've done every permutation of the sac bunt and gotten zero credit. Some people are getting the credit and some are not. So, yeah, I blame the game not my extensive knowledge of baseball and its terminology.

@Finn_Scotus_MLBTS I did not send the runner on any of the occasions

I started another post on the sac bunt thing. It makes no sense how it's working for some people and not others. I have heeded everyone's advice. I've tried every iteration with no credit. I had a runner on second, bunted him to third -- nothing. I had a runner on first, bunted him to second, batter was thrown out -- nothing. I had a runner on first, bunted him to second, batter was safe -- nothing. I also squared around before the pitch was thrown. Made no difference. The only thing I haven't done yet is a sac fly. At one point, I thought maybe it had to be a specific mini season, but I got credit for the Holds, so that doesn't seem to be it. I'd really appreciate a concrete method to get the credit for this, because it's super annoying not to be able to get credit after doing what seemingly people who've gotten credit have done.

As I mentioned, in Mini Seasons, I did both types of bunts -- one where the runner advanced to second, but the batter was out and one where the batter was safe (since the term "hit" was in the clue). I got credit for neither. I also, for good measure, bunted a runner from 2nd to 3rd. Every time I squared up in advance. Even the announcer mentioned the sacrifice. The only thing I haven't done yet is a sac fly. I don't understand why some people are getting credit for this and others are not. Again, I'll ask, does anyone have any insights or advice on how to make this work?

I've seen various people say they've gotten it and some say they haven't, but I have done a sacrifice bunt that went for a hit, a sacrifice bunt that simply advanced the runner. I showed bunt in advance so it wasn't considered a drag bunt, etc. -- I have still yet to get credit for it. I've done it all in Mini Seasons. It's getting beyond frustrating. Is there any trick I'm missing to get the credit for it? If not SDS needs to fix this.

Couldn't agree more. I've have given your comment 10 hearts if I could. I LOVED the animation from last year. It was gorgeous and thrilling to see the low-angle hero shot of the batter as the ball arced into stands. Just stunning. Now it's ugly as hell. I HATE it. It seems you get two shots -- one that's an ugly closeup of the animated looking player and then a quick cut to the ball going into the stands (it's not just ugly, I actually find it unpleasant to look at) -- and another that's the shot of the batter standing at the plate watching the HR, where it's not even fully clear it's a HR. Sometimes it's a foul. I guess seeing the pitcher bury his head is the only real giveaway. Why? Why did they change something that was perfect only to replace it with something that, frankly, makes it look like a cheap video game from the 90s?!

I really don't like the 6-0 concept. It's bad enough that the major rewards in Events and Battle Royale have become like that. It's really lame that this new Weekend challenge is following the same path, where you can't have access to the best rewards, and just get more packs that mostly give out Bronze players. I mean, congrats to the players who go undefeated and are perfect at this game. I'm not and resent having to be in order to get good rewards for things. I mean, it's fine if there are some special rewards granted to the best players, but this feels like it's too much for those of us who don't devote our lives to this game.

I actually enjoyed the different programs and different rewards attainable in all three. But I don't see any point -- other than required achievements -- in playing Events or BR anymore, unless you just want a 3-inning game. I'll probably end up mostly just playing Ranked, which is not great to me because I liked the variety of doing all of them. But if I have to go 10-0 to get the actual rewards, screw it. Not wasting my time on that.

So the only way to get true, exclusive awards in Battle Royale, Events and Ranked now is to go 10-0 or whatever the number is? Everything else just goes into this one, multiplayer program? I hate this change. What's the point of playing all three anymore unless there's a special award needed in them to advance in the Multi-Player program?

I'm already hating the seemingly endless drag that Team Affinity now represents. And now they broke the online games. So far every change they've made this year strikes me as for the worse. (And I hate the new, unattractive HR cut scenes. Why lose one of the most beautiful graphics of the game for this cheesy batter CU shot?). Ugh.

I am NOT a fan of the new cut scene that zooms in close on the hitter's face after hitting a HR. It highlights the lack of detail in the animation and isn't an attractive shot at all. Is the one that's been there in previous years -- the beautiful low angle shot that looks like it's out of "The Natural" that shows the ball arcing in to the stands -- still there? That was one of my favorite parts of the game. But I haven't hit enough home runs yet to tell if it's still part of the cycle of shots or been replaced by this new one that I hate.

EXACT same thing happened to me. You really can't see some of the unconquered spots.

Also, why are fans in the Polo Grounds, where NY is playing Brooklyn, chanting, "Beat LA!"?

There are just waaaay too many 99 Cards for Season 3. It just seem to dilute the meaning or value of them at a certain point.

I've never been more frustrated playing anything in this game. I conquered Baltimore, NY, and LA, and continued on to Tampa Bay. I lose 1-0, and didn't realize that after you lose a game, suddenly every team can start stealing players. So I lose half my territories immediately. So I click on Steal Players -- and then all the teams start stealing players AGAIN before I can do anything, and now all my territories are taken on the left side of the field. It's utterly useless to do anything else at this point. I'm SO sick of this. I suppose if I'd conquered all the way to SF on the first turn (i.e., never lost) I might have been okay, then continued to Houston still on 1st turn and then reinforced that might have worked. But I do not want to go through this all again and waste all this time if I don't have a clear path to how to win this thing without getting all my territories stolen at every turn. Does anyone have a step-by-step strategy that allows me to bypass this?

How are people doing this? I did the first task and beat the first three territories, but then when I went to steal fans (in order to be able to keep fighting territories), the map just went nuts with every territory stealing all my territories until I lost basically every territory that I'd won. Do you just have to let it do that, steal some fans, and then re-take the territories? It's ridiculous that it doesn't let you steal fans first to reinforce territories before it steals all of them.

They take too much time. I normally win them. But it takes forever.

It would really be nice if the game worked on a whole new lineup of legend players. It starts to get really old getting repeated versions of the same players over and over again. I imagine it costs money to create new players beyond the rookies and draft picks, but it would sure add more fun to the game to get some players that currently aren't in it.

I'm so sick of people dashboarding, and don't understand how the programmers can't counter or disable it. It shouldn't be that hard. I was playing in the Moonshot Event. I was down 1-0 on my last at bat with a runner on with Francisco Linder up. This [censored] did something else I hate, which is bring in a brand new pitcher on a 2-strike count. I hit the first pitch for a game-winning HR, and this loser dashboards the game -- so Lindor's HR doesn't count, which affects advancing in about 3 different programs. It's such a stupid, petty thing for people to do and should be disabled.
