    Re: Player you hate using but is tied to a mission

    This isn't quite what you're saying, but I'm doing the 40IP with Breakout Phil Hughes. Or I would be if RNG would go in my favor. I got him all three times I needed to beat the Twins on Veteran to get this challenge, and I haven't gotten him since.

      Thank you one more time.
      I started my first vs. CPU game since, and it was Stieb.
      My batters were in shape, took 7-0 lead quickly.
      But, my man Stieb almost left his bones out there, pitched the entire 6th with 0 energy. It was a mess, he ended giving up one run on 4 hits and 4 BBs. But it is done.

      Now onto unlocking new players...

        Willie Stargell, I just can't seem to hit a double with him. I power swing and smoke balls but they're either homeruns, line outs, or base hits back up the middle.

          Rookie Griffey is giving me grey hair. I'll lead the game off with a walk and a run, then either go 0-fer or hit bombs and hard singles directly to the outfielders. Last game I led the game off with a double and a run, then they grooved everything the rest of his at-bats. What makes that even worse is that I was playing the Rockies on All-Star and I drew TWELVE walks that game. *pulls hair out*

          Glad to hear I'm not the only one having this problem though. Sure beats getting IBB'd 3 times in a game with All-Star Griffey.

            Tip for anyone struggling to get doubles: play at red rocks stadium. I was struggling mightily with willie Stargell, I played one game at red rocks and knocked out both of the doubles I needed.

              This rookie Konerko 3 hits in a game is gonna literally kill me before I finish it...I have 2 different times take games into the 19th inning on purpose to get him 9 AB and still can't buy that 3rd hit. The last 4 AB of my previous try, he hit 2 balls caught on the warning track and 2, I kid you not, balls where outfielders dove coming in or in the gap to catch them...ARGH

              The CPU is toying with me, I know it

                The rookie Tillman is the worst. I'm intentionally walking the first batter of most innings just so I don't have to go through that stupid windup. Got to 60 of the 100 Ks I need so far.

                  The 7 strikeouts by a rookie pitcher in an ranked seasons match is killing me. I have three rookie pitchers in my starting rotation and it took a good week of playing before i was given them to use and when i finally got them three games in a row and racked up the strikeouts needed my games got queued and the stats didn't count. It's so infuriating especially when every other game counts.

                    Rookie Jason Heyward. I need to hit 3 Homeruns with him, and I'm lucky if I get a hit a game with him. Somehow Rookie Nelson Cruz is more effective than Heyward

                      Currently it's Rookie Damon 100 hits mission. He's just so hot and cold. I either go 3 for 4 or have an 0fer. I'm currently at 41 hits I think. He's been in my lineup since day one. I can't wait for this mission to be done.

                      Before him it was the 10 assists with Rookie Xander. I eventually had to move him to 3rd because no one was hitting it to short unless it was a popup; and his bat was worthless.

                        Re: Player you hate using but is tied to a mission

                        I, like many others, am very poor at drawing walks. I keep swinging at junk when least appropriate.
                        So, all of a sudden, I get walking missions:
                        -12 walks with Reds players in conquest (Griffey Sr. epic mission)
                        - 10 walks (Chipper Jones rookie mission)
                        - 2 walks with Giambi (Team epic).

                        So, while writing this, my lineup of 8 Redd + Giambi is taking pitches on All-Star. Sure, I lose matches, usually 1-0, and the winning pitcher score is usually 9K, 2BB
                        Just a few more games ) I get at least one walk, sometimes 2 per match.

                        EDIT: As I was typing this, Padres pitcher Friedrich had a complete meltdown, walked 4 of my guys in a row, and I ended up winning 1-0 through no fault of my own.

                          I can't hit for crap with Wade Boggs.

                            I'm in the same boat as the last two people. I need 1 more walk with Giambi & I only need 4 more hits with Boggs to complete it. I also only need 3 more hits with Loften to unlock Gold Mike of the Phillies even though I have Adrian Beltre.

                              I got lucky Sunday morning with the Griffey Jr. double, walk, and a run. First at bat hit a double into the gap and ended up scoring. Every at bat after that I just set the controller down. 3rd at bat the CPU walked him on 4 pitches.

                              Cant tell you how many times I started off the game with a double and a run and could not get a walk. The CPU will just groove you pitches like it knows you need the walk. 3 different times I went to 9 pitches faced before I either struck out or put the ball in play. It wouldnt even give me the 10 pitches faced trophy.

                                THIS. Im hitting less than .200 w him. And he basically walks to first on a ground ball.

                                Same with Robin Yount. But at least he has some speed and has gotten some SBs for me.

                                I grew up when these guys were in their prime. I didnt realize that Rookie Yount and Vet Boggs were essentially useless at those respective times. LMAO.
