Some of these Moment missions are dumb

If they went back to stat grinds and team or card specific stat grinds I would at least use some of these cool cards. I would venture a guess that 90% of MLB the Show players don’t use 90% of their collection rendering the whole idea pointless.

One of the reasons I like doing the daily missions, even if it means rolling into RS with a bunch of bronzes or commons, is that it gives me an opportunity to use some cards that otherwise would just collect dust. I handily won a game earlier today using an infield full of bronze players (needed 2 RBI with them) and only Pirates pitchers (needed 8 IP). My outfield of diamonds helped me get through, but the bronze guys made some key plays. Sometimes you do that and get shellacked, but playing a much better roster close or even winning feels pretty good.

That said, the team affinity winnings are kind of perverse. Unless from day 1 you stack your lineup with a few teams (or play a bunch of Race to October), you're going to have little use for those cards by the time you rack up the innings. And grinding out the innings for every team would lead to a lot of killer cards going unused for long stretches.

I think they were on to something this year with giving away a lot more diamonds, but they need to pace things better. Team affinities should require less, but XP gains should be harder. Makes no sense to be earning bronze/silver/low gold guys when you're a gold/diamond player. It's also lame that everyone (except me lol) has Signature Kershaw a month in.

Every now and then I need a reminder of why I hate these moments. I haven’t done a single moment since the 2nd inning program but seeing how they seem to have reduced the amount of program stars you get from anything else yet again I decided to try.....

Score 1 run on Wagner in the ninth with 2 outs. 1 hour 17 minutes and dozens upon dozens of squared up balls on good timing for outs....easily over 20 attempts and finally I shut it off without completing it. Done and done.

I give you guys credit who muddle through these because they have to be the least fun thing to do in video game history. A total waste of time and an increase in blood pressure. Worst idea and better not be in next years game.

The last thing I’m going to say about this colossally stupid mode is that I have never felt like completed a single moment I’ve always felt like the game let me complete the moment. Poor game

For some stupid reason I decided I would try some of the moments I gave up on earlier.....so Bryce Harper....He can put up video game numbers....except when you use him in the 11 game stretch....because....

Well, here is a steady diet of left handed starters.....for Bryce and his amazing 56 Contact and 55 power....

Don't forget about his legendary 67 power vs Righties....which you will hardly see and when you do they will walk you....a lot.....

I don't even feel bad....if I can't hit any homers with Lou Gehrig, why would I think I could with Bryce Harper....lol

Now I am in a Kluber moment....pitch a shut out...I have a no hitter thru 9....but, my team hasn't scored....so on to the 10th....lol

Don't mind me...just pitching 14 innings of no hit ball to finish this moment....

Jesus ****ing Christ

I got into the moment vs the Padres and lost track of the K's and closed it out and failed the challenge because I only got 3 strikeouts not 4. Failed because it's being played at polo grounds where popups are HRs so you have to actually pitch

Throw a 1 hit shutout and fail the goddamn thing

I was bitching in the other thread too but holy ****. WHO DESIGNS this stuff
