I don't understand how making a mode inactive for 3-4 days every week would suddenly make it feel like a big deal. From what I could tell people were asking for MORE 3ish-inning game modes. Events were nice for trying out players, online grinding, and getting a quick game in when you didn't have enough time for nine innings. I guess they want people to play BR.

I don't even think they've fixed 0-0 records that show before each game or that Balitmore Orioles thing that happens. Either they don't care or they're unable to fix the issues.

SDS makes this far more complicated than it needs to be.

I actually think the mode is kind of cool in that it incorporates showdowns, conquests, and moments all into one.

The gambling that goes with getting the card... not cool.

The mystery spaces that are negatives...why? I literally didn't do anything to deserve a penalty.

Welcome to basically the entire Internet.

Most of these aren't even moments. They're more like fantasies or three-inning games.

CPU pitching offline is miserably bad. You can go 2 to 3 batters with the cpu pitcher not finding the strike zone but what's worse you can have runners in scoring position or even bases juiced and your batter has a 3-0 or 3-1 count and the cpu pitcher will all of sudden start dotting strikes on the corners. Not my meaning of fun. They really need to stop all the dotting by the cpu. Needs to have more of a consistent mix.

Don't forget when they finally hang that curve/change down the middle, you perfect-perfect it, and it's right at someone.

Kind of bare bones. Figure they would at least put a few new cards on the XP path.

Use the Enter Key.

That's pretty shady.

MY GUESS: there's a small portion of this player base whose average weekly purchases are so much (you know, the players who spent $2,000 to have Babe Ruth on opening night---the people who had claimed to spend hundreds+ before that April account unlinking incident---pack addicts---etc.) that SDS has become increasingly indifferent to the player base whose investments either end or are very minimal after the initial purchase (e.g. NMS players).

That's purely speculation on my part though as SDS has the #s.

Why is an MLB All Star related event held at a minor league park? If they're requiring one stadium, then shouldn't it be Texas?

So is this the moments extreme program?

I'll try these when i get home but like i said last night, i'm rapidly lossing intrest this year

It's like Extreme Moments if they were played on veteran (and there's a three-inning game played on AS).

I finished in about three hours (The Justin Turner one may have taken about 1/4 of that lol). A lot of the moments have poor visibility (shadowing, no batter's eye) and the RNG is pretty bad on them. Dozens of good/perfect outs. There are just a lot of annoyances that make it more frustrating and time-consuming than it needs to be.

Honestly I'm probably just burnt out of the same ole' grinds too.

I just hate how it plays online. Everything looks and feels different almost as if it's a completely different game than offline. It's pretty [censored] admirable how people can constantly switch from offline grinding on rookie/veteran to online competitive play. Also, the gamer culture is different from when I played sports games (mostly online franchises) in my heyday 15+ years ago. Too much grieving and no socialization.

EDIT - Also, I don't like how the online setup creates for pure mystery. You don't know your opponent's ping, disconnect percentage, idle time, tendencies, stadium choice, or anything. It's just some matchup randomizer that connects me to someone whose team name and shoddy connection would indicate that they're outside the USA. I grew up with lobbies so that's definitely my preference.

I tried the Ricky Henderson 5SB one mostly for s and giggles.

After the first hit I couldn't steal a base because the following hitter hit the ball on the first pitch

The second hit I couldn't steal a base because the next batter started on a 3-2 count with 2 outs haha.

Change your settings to see all pitches,its in the player lock tab

Would never have figured that out. Thought that was solely for RttS. Appreciated.

I just downloaded Costco Park for the first time for my grinds and it made a huge difference for me.

Grind for this. Get it. 3 guaranteed Diamonds.

1st Diamond: Lance McCullers (already have)
2nd Diamond: Lance McCullers
3rd Diamond: Yep, you guessed it. Lance McCullers.

How and why?

Because three...it's a magic number.

It's better than nothing and a nice way to get some cheap XP / packs. I'm just fascinated by the randomness of these mini-programs.

4 cards away from Rolen (2 vouchers), 26 from Ted Williams (9 vouchers), and 406k stubs. I could finish it now but I'm not in a hurry.

And if we want to demand realism, then add vs RHP/LHP lineups. Oh wait a lot of people say that's cheese too even though that's actually something that happens in baseball.
