Griffey Jr completion

[Baracesilk]

Last night in my first game I started off with a double and then was driven in by the next batter. I ended up have 5 more at bats....two of them I went 3-2 counts and ended up singling on both as I was trying to foul off the pitches. Other than getting into deep counts I am just playing it like normal and if it comes it comes but I am not just going to try for it...however, if 3 balls come along then I will try for a walk but that is not too different than real life anyway. Get the walk if you don't get a pitch you like.

Anyone tried trying to countdown a match with a friend, and then both of you let each other complete missions?

I haven't tried but I heard that play vs friends does not allow stats to go towards missions/programs. Just for the reason you stated above. Too many people took advantage of it and were going through programs that should take months in just a few games.

Weve talked about it, then doing some type of ready/unready flash on the pitcher screen so we know we matched up together. Havent actually done it yet.

Is there a reddit on how to do this? I just unlocked the 84 Griffey where I need to get 10 hr and 22 rbi in 30 ranked games. I am not sure if I will be able to do that since the online is never the same as it is with a friend playing right beside you. It lags and the button presses take like 4 times when I pitch. Throws my timing off. Unless the randoms I match with just throw it down the middle to Griffey every time, I would hate to have the 30 game limit run out and have to start from scratch.

I finally completed this mission!!! I almost f'd it up too! Started off with a lead-off double and scored on next batter. Go through the game and in the 8th Griffey Jr comes to the plate with one out. I let the first strike go bye. It's followed by three balls and then a strike - 3-2 count. Pitch is thrown, and obviously low. However, I got trigger happy and hit x. Luckily, I pulled back in time and only did a check swing. Catcher pointed to third base umpire for a check....Safe....to first base I go and 1% completed. That was the hardest 1% I ever had to get lol. Good news is I have 33% more about to be completed and puts me around the 65% mark or 70%...so I am moving along now! The next few ones will take forever though after that.

Breakout Brandon Guyer has a similar mission(1 hit, 2rbis, 1 walk) that I've gotten close to but am always a walk or rbi short.
