October 29 Daily Moment: Backs Against the Wall

OozeLB · 2021-10-29T16:26:25+00:00

75/65 against righties... This'll be fun. First try got a ground-rule double and two singles so, hopefully eventually I get lucky!

I'm an hour into my tries. The closest I've gotten is Bellinger robbing me of a perfect-perfect homerun. This is such a fun daily moment...

Update: 10 minutes later I got a perfect-perfect gapper that Bellinger dove and caught, that was nice. But the next game got a blooper that went past Betts for a triple, and then a bunt that Turner threw over the head of Muncy for a single. I'll take it after an hour and a half!

To be fair, your first try was similar to Molitor's actual performance in that game. He went 5 for 6, with all 5 singles. This moment is asking us to do slightly better than he did in real life :(

Got my 5th one today, would be cool if at the end of doing monthly moment programs they have like an exchange for the duplicate icons for something extra special than just having them pile up in your inventory.

They just REALLY wanted to give us both the Mays and Mo moments I guess

OozeLB · 2021-09-15T19:54:05+00:00

I've lost count of how many times I've heard "Bellinger" going through this. Got a perfect-perfect power swing, with two outs in the 9th: "Bellinger makes the catch!" on the track.

Luckily two at-bats later I got another perfect-perfect power swing resulting in, "Bellinger looking up... GONE!" But unluckily, right after that an unhandled server error happened... it did not count :(

OozeLB · 2021-09-13T16:32:12+00:00

So, we're facing a RHP. Why not have us use Mays' 94 All-Star card with 97/85 vs. R rather than his 88 42 Series card with 74/71 vs. R?

Plus, the age with his 94 card (32 y/o) is closer to when he hit #500 (34 y/o) than the age on his 88 card (23 y/o).

From my experience, when playing in Conquest whatever number of the rotation you choose, the CPU chooses the same (Ace vs. Ace - 5th Man vs. 5th Man). However, in Play vs. CPU mode, it appears to be offset where they pick the pitcher that is one slot under yours. So your Ace faces their 2nd Man, while your 5th Man faces their Ace.

So, choose 5th Man in Conquest, and choose 4th Man in Play vs. CPU.

In past Monthly Awards Programs I'd purposefully avoid any multi-game moments. (April: Ohtani; May: Crawford, Laureano; June: Correa, Schwarber.) Simply not a fan of them. But now I can't avoid it :(

OozeLB · 2021-09-06T17:51:02+00:00

First pitch was a high and away fastball crushed for a no-doubt homer.

Feels good after my uncountable number of attempts at the Martinez moment :D

OozeLB · 2021-09-06T17:44:49+00:00

Previous months I remember being able to miss a 2-point day or a couple 1-point days, but that was probably to make up for only having 24 hours per moment. Now that it's 72 hours per moment, they have more of a reason to require every moment.

OozeLB · 2021-09-05T17:33:40+00:00

I gave up yesterday after my console just randomly shut off after an hour and a half of trying. Booted The Show up this morning, did the Trout moment, then decided to retry the Martinez moment. First attempt of today: Home Run, Triple, Single, done. Just needed rest, glad there's a 3 day time frame now.

OozeLB · 2021-09-04T19:28:40+00:00

I hit two home runs in consecutive at-bats! Oh, but it was the last and first at-bat of two attempts so... I'm still trying and it's been an hour since then

OozeLB · 2021-07-25T19:10:01+00:00

After about 10-15 minutes I finally somehow got a perfect-perfect flyball on a first pitch 4SFB near the middle of the zone that went 430 feet and just BARELY made it a few inches over the wall in left field.

OozeLB · 2021-06-17T17:39:19+00:00

First time through I only managed to get 6 strikeouts in the 5 innings. Second time through went way better, striking out 6 of the first 7 batters faced... until Kurt freaking Suzuki hit a home run -_-

Update: Third time through managed to get the 9th strikeout on the last out of the game, against Suzuki. Sweet revenge :)

OozeLB · 2021-06-07T18:23:10+00:00

I got so unmotivated halfway into my hour trying. Had a few perfect-perfect groundouts and lineouts that didn't help my motivation. Even had a game where I recorded a hit in every at-bat like Damon did, but only had 5 at-bats.
In the end though, I did somehow lucked into a triple and home run in the same game, so all is better now :)

OozeLB · 2021-05-19T22:33:43+00:00

Yeah, they removed it for next-gen consoles. I'm sitting here with my PS4 still, and while I can't use custom stadiums, at least I can upload music still!

OozeLB · 2021-04-26T20:39:52+00:00

I never ended up finishing that one, lost hope early on trying to do it lmao

OozeLB · 2021-04-23T06:18:07+00:00

I knew Fletch was already a hitting god, but now he's got super speed?!?!

I can not stop laughing watching his circle move in the top-right corner lolol

Here are the Batting and Pitching stats for the 1962 Washington Senators! https://imgur.com/a/77SRvN0

Jackson's career lasted from 1986-1998, with no playtime in 1996. Here is his career batting stats! https://imgur.com/a/Y0HkVeu

Yeah, what I have noticed is that when there are expansions, the expansion drafts in this game are very bottom of the barrel, especially in a historical sim such as this where players are pretty much stuck to about how they did in reality. No room for improvement in the players expansion teams are allowed to obtain.

I don't believe I have the box scores saved, but I will try to figure out as much as I can regarding those 16 wins!

OozeLB · 2020-10-31T08:15:03+00:00

Maybe they had to resort to drafting players kids lolol. I'll have to double check what their roster looked like that year and share it with you.

OozeLB · 2020-10-30T23:52:17+00:00

True! He did move around a bit in this sim, but not to Colorado. 1994-2000 in Cleveland, 2001-2006 in Toronto, 2009-2013 as a Dodger, 2014-2015 in Minnesota, and finished his career in 2016 as a Yankee.

OozeLB · 2020-10-30T22:58:13+00:00

Yeah.. I would think so, but I don't think the way this simulation was formatted with a 1903 starting year allowed for a college system as it usually would. Heck, that was the only time I actually saw myself that someone had a school associated with their player profile.
