Some of these Moment missions are dumb

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

It took me 25 minutes to hit a HR with Hoskins off Luke "Cy Young" Jackson. I launch bombs everywhere until I do moments that require them.

I think they could do a much better job setting the moments up. I appreciate a good grind aspect but these are just brutal. Especially the longer ones that require full games or multiple innings. It's such a time sink for little payoff. I don't understand why they don't just recreate every at-bat pitch-by-pitch. If we're reliving something that happened give us the same pitch sequence. If we don't execute then that's on us and we restart. But it's jarring watching guys like Jackson go from spiking four breaking balls and walking me to painting the black like Maddux back to throwing it over the backdrop. If these are moments then hardwire them. The rewards aren't so crazy there needs to be some super difficulty to them with the variation.

I'm all about making a harder tier with better rewards. But when have VERY specific stats we have to get when batting it would be nice to have a little bit of a buffer. Once you get deep into some of these it becomes a sunk cost with time and just feels really bad.

Well said.....when you say it’s such a time sink for such little payoff....that sums it up in a nutshell. When you have 200 points to go to finish the program and it takes you 30 minutes to an hour to get 3 to 5 it’s brutal.

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

Doing the Create a player Albies mission. 3 hits and 2 assists over 2 games. I get zero chances at an assist over the 2 games. WTF.

Found the moment I hate.

Bumgarner....2 hits. Doesn't even matter what else is there. 10k, complete game, no more than 2 runs? Easy. But 2 hits.

****

well that took me a little over an hour to do...

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

I find the single AB Home Run missions to be the worst. Takes me forever everytime.

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

Can anyone logically convince me that these moments are the difficulty level they are stated to be? It's absolutely maddeningly frustrating. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Well, as Babe Ruth I am having a hard time catching up to 85 mph fastballs on veteran....and he hits like Trea Turner...so....oh wait...you said convince you they are the stated difficulty....yeah I got nothing....

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

Yeah they even said in their last stream they they adjust things for missions and it isn’t really what you see. They didn’t explicitly say the difficulty is different but they did say the players are tweaked.

I can barely get a hit with Cabrera in that 5 hits mission. Let alone solid contact to go for an XBH.

They released through one of their pet streamers (Mills I think) that they haven't changed anything in sliders or anything in Moments, so it's pretty tough to take anything they say on the subject seriously. Anyone with eyes can see pitch speeds are higher, PCI is smaller, power if nerfed etc etc etc

Went half an hour without a single XBH with Miggy. Bizarrely hit 3 triples with Vlad though for his mission, so I honestly just have no clue. Random luck seems to be the main requirement for most of these

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

This clip sums up moments for me. Anyone want to guess how many hits I missed completing this by? If there are cards that you earn in moments, they should be sellable on the market. I’d much rather spend money to get them than put up with this BS.

Re: Some of these Moment missions are dumb

Up to one hour of this Warren Spahn moment, Ive gotten out of the first inning only twice. These are a ****ing joke. Im about to lose my mind.

Edit: Took me an hour and a half but I finally got it.
