The Official OS "Challenge of the Week" Competition

Re: The Official OS "Challenge of the Week" Competition

Only had a few times against Sale due to vacation and I did terrible. Having Trout this week should make it much easier to smash. Also, with the new patch I believe we won't see any super high scores. Well, I say that...

Someone's going to go HUGE on this Trout one. I'm putting up over 500k consistently, and had one go over 1 mil.

Edit: And now this:

7th overall in the clubhouse. By far my best CotW score ever, and I could have done a lot better (missed a bad pitch to end it)

Last week was truly a challenge!




Although MrOldBoy isn't showing up in the Top 10 overall yet, he has been top dawg the last two weeks, so watch out!

This week the scores are already much higher, thanks to THA GAWD Mike Trout:

• Challenge of the Week pitcher settings no longer carrying over from any other game mode.

Does anyone know what this meant in the patch notes?

Maybe sliders or something were affecting the COTW pitcher? This is my guess on how some guy like 300+ million.

I actually tried to mess around with settings when I started seeing people put up hundreds of mil and try and find an exploit if there was one. I could never get the mode any easier or had settings carry over. I'm still baffled how some people put up those numbers, sometimes on only one or a few attempts.

One person on PSN even seemed to indicate that another player hinted to them that they hit from behind the pitcher as it gives away the intended pitch location and to an extent the pitch type (i.e. low and away, maybe a slider?). I could barely hit from that view when I tried it, but it does indeed show where the catcher is setting up at. I highly doubt anyone could keep a streak going from that view, but who knows.

I finally changed the camera angle and it got sooooo much easier. I racked up 2,000,000+. Missed easy pitches to end it.

I can't even log on to do the challenge...

Anyone know why it says too many transactions every time?

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

Maybe, there was some type of server maintenance yesterday. Hope you at least get a chance to try. I would hate to get #1 just because you couldn't log on.

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

I did 1 attempt last night. My internet here is so awful, so it is hard to just even log on sometimes. I feel like I could have done better if I tried a few more times, but it was like 6 am and I wanted to go to bed lol.

Lester throws his changeup maybe one every 15 pitches... and it gets me almost everytime. lol

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

This challenge is the hardest they have had in weeks. Comeon, Kemp hit the ball! lol

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

Let's play a little catchup, shall we?

Week 11

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

Week 12 (Jacoby Ellsbury vs. John Lackey)



Rainey pulls back into the top spot, taking advantage of an absentee week from Cardinalbird. The bottom half is getting very compact, with just 5 points separating positions 5-10.

Re: The Official OS &quot;Challenge of the Week&quot; Competition

And that brings us to the current week, where we are California Dreamin: the Angels' Garrett Richards vs. the Dodgers' Matt Kemp!



Rainey has the high score so far with 516K, but there is still plenty of time for that to be bested.
