    Challenge of the Week Thread - MLB '16


    Let's get this going again, shall we? Fun to follow this all throughout the year.

    Power swing seems kinda nerfed this year - or maybe it's just the matchup. I usually swing power on Rookie and sometimes Vet to get a good active score going and then drop down to contact later, But I'm just whiffing those early swings against DeGrom. By far my best results in the early difficulties are coming with normal swing where I'm hitting some absolute moonshots.

    Degrom's breaking stuff is nasty. It's causing many of my streaks to end on chases out of the zone.

    Our resident savants at this mode, cardinalbird5 and bukktown are once again in their usual positions at/near the top of the leaderboard. And Cardinal posted the top score, around 3M, in just 2 attempts!

    My best so far is 726k.

    550k on my first attempt. Love this mode as just a pure hitting test

      Props to Cardinal...2 attempts lol! He's on a whole other level!

      I was having so much fun with my MLB 15 Twins franchise the last 2 months and now I feel compelled to only play COTW....just one more attempt....ok just one more....one more....

      Oh and I don't know how many of deGroms sliders I've whiffed at. The pitcher/batter matchup in this game is so sim it's ridiculous!

          Does anyone else have a massively slow frame rate for this mode?

            At least in the current stadium, yes. The same thing I experience at other stadiums (not all of them) during gameplay.

              I tried it in Toronto for the first week, the frame rate was way awful and I decided to quit within a few minutes and hadn't tried it again.

              The frame rate seems worse to me than at any point while playing the game normally.

                New CotW up, Hosmer v. Syndergaard.

                Scores will be much higher on this one since it's L/R .

                  Well, I probably won't be doing cotw because cardinalbird5 is probably going to win every time. lol

                    Pretty much what I came in here to say. Should change it to Challenge cardinalbird5.
