Good or bad , ugly or beautiful , Moments IMO doesnt need to be this great big time consumer , it should be a minor feature like postseason mode or homerun derby or play now or retro mode.

MLB The Show 19 Moments: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

I had some great tense moments in...moments.
Ofcourse some things are tuned to a certain outcome, like Bartolo was definitely juiced in the homerun challenge otherwise you would probably never hit a homerun haha.

I liked the challenge where you had to steal 2 bases against a hard throwing catcher and you couldn’t get caught once with your own team for example. I couldn’t get it because I didn’t had a lot of speed on my team at the time but after a while I got a speedy guy put him on my roster and went back to the challenge and finally got it.

I think that’s exactly what this mode should be!

I really like the moments mode.  Some can be infuriating, I can't tell how many times I've tried to go 3 for 4, hit a homer with Otonhi, only to have a 2 hit game with 1 HR, or 3 hits and one warning track hit!  

The multiple ways to achieve the goals is really something special.  I do agree that when you've got to get an OF assist and the ball never gets to the OF'er in question, it can be maddening...  But I appreciate the quick restart instead of going through the load process again.

I'm glad they added this in this year.  With this addition, and MtO, it's providing other ways to play that really make me want to sink my teeth into.  I know they might not be the most popular right now, but by the end of the season, I can see them becoming very much a core part of the experience.

I mean, the first year DD was put in the game I was iffy about it...  And now it's the main mode I play.  And I find myself reorienting back to MtO using teams I'd NEVER have played a season/franchise with, and always find myself checking for the next batch of moments from this year.  

Great job by the ppl at San Diego studios!

This is a well-written article, and summarizes my thoughts pretty well.  I absolutely despise moments.  On the surface, it looks like a great feature that can be highly rewarding.  Unfortunately for me, there is at least one moment in each series that I am just unable to complete, and therefore can not finish ANY of the series, and have received none of those rewards.  I attempted one of the Willie Mays moments (2 HR"s in 1 game) for 5 hours straight, with no luck.  Even had a HR and one of those inside-the-park HR's that they call a triple, so it didn't count.  I don't even view these as achievable for me, and if that's the direction they're heading with the game, this might be my last year with it.

I am surprised how much I am enjoying the moments game mode. I kind of pick and chose the ones that interest me and just play those for the fun of it.

I’m not playing much, played only few short ones so far and not planning being involve in multi-games ones.

Yesterday night I tried the one where NYY Gardner show up with 3 on bases and the goal is to hit home-run. Then I decided to check Gardners ratings. Surprise, his contact is at something in the 80s ( I’m ok with that) but his right handed Power to 98 !!!!

I don’t get it, what’s the point of having a moment with Gardner if he’s being buffed to a Stanton level ?

I have to say it was a turn off for me. Any other moments like this one ?

This just happened in the 3rd (final) Dozier game for me, after I got 5 non-homer hits prior to this game. Never give up, even when you don't think you'll get another at-bat.
