Let me start by saying I’m honestly not trying to sound like a [censored] here. I’d like to think that other than a few outliers, the majority of people who post regularly on this forum are steady players and not newbies/casuals.
They have dumbed down these daily moments and the Topps Now/Player program etc. They are almost exclusively on Rookie/Veteran with a few here or there on All-Star. For those who complain daily about these and struggle, I would Like to know where you have success with this game? Like if you can’t complete these moments, are you winning H2H games? Can you beat the CPU in conquest?
Most of the time if you don’t complete a moment it’s your own fault for swinging at a bad pitch or missing with your timing/PCI. All those guys on here talking about using directional to hit a HR on rookie. Cmon guys.
I have experienced every complaint that people use here with no pitches in the zone, diving plays in the OF, robbed HR’s, etc. it is exaggerated greatly by many people on this forum. Start the mission over and beat it. They’re simple, get out of your own head. Focus and get it done.
Wait til Extreme Moments get released...
The unhandled server error No Doubter is undefeated this year.
Last year it was tough to beat Didi’s and Reggie’s was straight disrespectful as well.

We are looking into it.
You can get a good look at a T-Bone...
“...HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DONT EAT YOUR MEAT???”
????
It’s playing like HR derby
I whole-heartedly apologize for removing you from my lineup for the past month or so to use these new fancy cards. Clearly, you are the GOAT. Glad to have you back, thanks for the 5 for 6 with 3 bombs in your first game back.
Not sure about you guys but I had taken Trout out a while back. Been cycling through Jackson, Sheff, Belli, Trammel and Ellsbury in the corner OF spots with Prestige Mantle having CF locked down. I’m not a great hitter, it’s the reason I haven’t made it past CS. After another frustrating loss, I dusted off the Trout card and put him in LF and the leadoff spot in front of Mickey. He proceeds to have prob the best offensive game I have had all year. 5 for 6, 3 HR, 2 laser 1B and the only out he made was ripped down the 1B line and Belli made a sick diving play on it.
So he’s back. OF is now Trout- P Mantle - P Belli . Anybody else rolling with Trout?
Solid sample size. Def patch worthy.
See you tomorrow when you come back to make another goodbye post.
Can’t wait until next month when this question can be asked 26 more times.
I got him in the first pack and luckily he was still going for over 300k. I’ll be reaching Prestige 90 tonight or tomorrow so I’ll let you know.
Twin got him in both so it’s possible.

Exactly. I guess the home team hits in Shippett and they make the opponent hit in Forbes or something.
People who say people who pick Shippett can only win there are the same people who say the rookie moments are too hard.
Yes my opponents love when I bring him in because he loves blowing the lead.
No idea why but the same happened last year too. He’d strike out a ton, but somehow always gives up a bomb in close games for me.
Somehow I haven’t given up a single run with Jansen in like 15+ innings though.
It’s on Rookie guys. Focus up and get it done.
Maybe next year they will offer T-ball moments.
@predawnferret92_xbl said in Trying to get chipper is driving me mad...:
I just have so much invested at this point, so I will use him for a bit just to make me feel like it was worth all my effort. So you better believe, this card will get some use even if it's a downgrade.
While I agree that there are many great options at all positions at this point in the year, Chipper is still one of the best cards in the game. It also depends on how you do with his swing. Give him a chance though because he’s legit.
Cabrera still in
He’s the new big collection rewards. Go into collections of legends and flashbacks
@johnutah312_xbl said in 99 Justin Verlander:
I struck out 17 times on legend against this card
So you’re saying you’re the guy who’s in WS and rocking the All-Star icon?
I hope so. I love his LS card and his Posteason card was in my lineup til the end last year.
Same with Freddie Freeman. I’m using his LS card in the event again and his swing is sooo good. If he gets a juiced Finest again he’ll prob be my starting 1B.

I’ve played against them, but haven’t given them a shot yet. Velazquez is legit too and an obvious choice is the new Grandal.
