MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

Yeah it’s not even about the player, it’s just that I want to finish this damned moment. The 20 program points are nice but this whole thing has become a matter of principle. I’ve come to a point that I can’t imagine anyone finished this or that SDS is just playing with me.

I will be coming back to this topic everyday untill I finish it so sorry in advance but this run has reached epic retry proportions that I’ll give it a few more days before I throw my ps4 out of the window.

Just to be clear, SDS didn't just single you out, LAH. For some reason, they're picking on me too. What did we do to deserve this? I try this Moment a couple times per day, then quit for a while before I get too wound up. We'll get it some day...won't we?

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

With these wet noodle guys I was getting so frustrated at my PCI placement etc. Felt like i was my own worst enemy in these moments after a while so i just switched it up. Analog places the PCI for you and on Rookie/Veteran and even All Star all you have to do is swing at a good pitch.

Hey Fiddy - I decided to try Analog for the first time, based on your suggestion. I just went to practice batting mode and I don't understand it. I set it on Pure Analog Flick. So all I do is flick the right analog stick up? All that matters is the timing of the swing? Does it matter if I flick a little left or right? I read you can press the buttons before the swing to get a contact, normal, power swing?

Sometimes the PCI is no where near the ball, sometimes above, below, to one side. Is all that dependent strictly on swing timing? I looked for a analog guide, but couldn't find anything that answers these questions.

Yeah Pure Analog is all about timing and yes beforehand you can choose by pressing square for power or circle for contact.

I’ve tried it as well but my PCI placement is often better than when the CPU does is for you.

Good luck to you as well brother!

I think vision attribute plays into it as well. You'll get good timing swings where you completely miss. It definitely has more RNG by nature since you're only controlling the timing.

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

Yeah, it seems like there is more to it than just swing timing. I practiced with it for a while, then tried Keith again using Analog. I think it's like any other method, it takes some getting used to. I discovered the PCI does move left and right based on the direction you push the analog stick. Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but I have a hard time finding a thumb and hand position to consistently push the stick straight up or in the direction the pitch is going. Also, against a guy like Kyle Hendricks that throws that sinker down in the zone consistently, how do you get that elevated? I think I hit three straight ground balls directly back to him. With Zone, at least I can locate the PCI all the way down in the zone. Of course, if he throws it up in the zone, I'm screwed.

That's why it really ends up being inconsistent because you're relying on the batter actually getting to those. You'll absolutely demolish anything middle and up with good timing. I mean you'll nuke everything. But bottom of the zone is hard to get squared up.

Haha, even as someone who does not really ever get tilted by the Moments, Keith did push my buttons a bit.

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

I just started power swinging with him which really helped getting the ball in to the gap or pulling it down the line into the corner. If I used normal swing it went to left center or right at the left fielder everytime. I'd prefer to go that way but it was impossible to get the ball through the gap as the left fielder would cut it off more often than not.

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

I didn't do many of the moments, instead opting to get hits online with him and some other stuff, but when I got close to wrapping him up online I went into such an insane cold streak with him before just deciding to go the opposite way with everything, which finally got me there.

MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

I tried Keith again twice last night. The first time, I had enough hits and came up one XBH short. The next time, came up one hit short. I realized doing the online stuff will be quicker. I loaded up a mostly Cardinal squad, with some extra 1B players, and went over to RS. I suck online, but after 1 game I have 6/10 Cardinal hits. I wish I’d done this a month ago!

EDIT: Yep, 2 RS games and 10 Cardinal hits. I don’t have to torture myself with that Moment anymore! What’s ironic is I played a guy with Keith in his lineup. He had 4 bloop hits, just over the infield! I misplayed one into a triple. That’s his only way to get an XBH. So, he still got me by contributing to my RS loss! Mustachioed Bastard!

Haha people conquering Keith is my favorite subplot of the DD year so far.

Re: MLB The Show 20: 3rd Inning Program Updated With Keith Hernandez

I haven’t bothered with him yet as I will never use him, but my 9 year old finally beat all the moments. Said he had to go the the power swing as well to finally get the XBH requirements.

On another note, the only TA Stage 1 I still need is the hit two homers with Vlad. Any tips there, that one has been very frustrating for me and i want that 15k XP

Switch to directional and hold up and mindlessly wait for something middle up and power swing. Also pray.

This Moment has now ruined my relationship with Keith. As a long-time Cardinal fan, I loved Keith Hernandez. After this Moment, he's now dead to me.
