3 moments involving HR's with a 69/61 power hitter (who's considered a "contact" hitter when you hold R2 before a pitch) is a little much IMO. Just about to finish it though - only have to do one of the "HR+Stolen base" or the "3 hits with a HR one", or play the 9 inning game vs the Reds. Getting that online 2B hit requirement out of the way helped.

Can't see this card getting a whole lot of play on people's lineups except for theme teams.

I tried Dat Dude's first Moment a few times. No problem getting the SB, but that HR, with his power, will be a challenge.

I always struggle hitting HRs in Moments, particularly with marginal power. Any tips?

Was just about to post my complaints. Offline guy here trying to hit Jose canseco numbers in moments with a sh— hitter with above average speed. Why do they guard these cards like it cost money? Let people be challenged, but putting them to downright impossible if you don’t go online is stupid. Not to mention label it as the next to lowest level...it’s like the Jackie moments had a baby with the Hernandez moments and this is what’s out there.

Sounds simpler than it is, but swing early. First, you probably aren't going to be hitting the ball out of the park at all to CF with a hitter of those ratings unless you catch it on his tiny Perfect Flyball marker. Pulling will mean hitting it to a shorter field, and often with more exit velocity - much better chance to hit one out. Second, on top of that Philips pulling the ball means hitting it towards the Great American Smallpark's inviting 328-foot LF fence down the line, which doesn't get much longer the the further you go until you're mostly into LCF. It's known as a hitter's park for a reason. I don't think all of the Philips moments take place at GABP, but most do, and you'll definitely want to use that park's dimensions to your advantage.

SN is being lit up by complaints.

I think everyone should sit back and wait for them to make these easier like they did with the Jackie ones lmao

Yeah I just swing early and with power on these sorts of moments.

the HRs wasn't an issue for me. The 5 hits and 2 XBH is what was killing me

I was shocked by how comparatively easy the HR Moments were. Knocked out the HR/SB one on the 2nd attempt (I could've knocked out the 3 hit/1HR in that same game too, lol). That 3 hit one I got in 3 or 4 attempts. The single PA HR gave me the most trouble - but still way better than many.

I didn't dive into the other ones yet - I can only do so many Moments in one session before getting the urge to hurl objects....


And WHY on Earth is the exchange for 5 points? That DOES NOTHING! You still have to play all the Moments and Play vs CPU game to get all 50. If it was 7 points (enough to replace a Moment), that would've made a lot more sense.

They have done this with a few others, the exchange means nothing. Just do the moments and beat the cpu. So odd why they have that at 5 points instead of even 8. Either do the collection or play cpu, plus all moments.
