bertrandcantat Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Almost had it today, just hit the ball,ran to the first base pretty much at the same time as the first base guy caught the ball, referee called me out then the game offered me to challenge the decision, unfortunately I lost but keep playing and you should have the opportunity to get it.

BuckCountry Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I have been trying for this all night, about 9 games now of just bunting for a close play at first, but I never get the offer for a replay challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionick Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's pretty simple and luck based. What I did was made my first three hitters fast by editing their stats and messed around with the baserunning sliders in game. I just kept bunting and made sure the catcher fielded the ball. Just keep restarting the game if you make 3 outs. Â It can be time consuming, it took me about 45 minutes to an hour to finally get a call overturned. Good luck.

DayOldGas Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Best way to get it is to bunt, it gives you more chances at close plays at first. thus more challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceyice Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I almost got it on a close play at first. Like with real life, by the naked eye it seems like it will be in your teams favor, but with another view, you realize, no dice this time! Like one of the above posters said, eventually you will get it. Personally, there are a few of these trophies that i want to get 'naturally,' as i've platted the last 2 before or not long after the real Opening Day, then rarely played the game again after.

BlackIsraelite Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have a complaint. I have had close calls while bunting and i am not getting the menu. Either u guys are using settings or something is jacked up on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZDMB Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It took me a little while to get this trophy as well. I used the default roster and changed the slider for baserunner speed to about 75%. I constantly put down bunts down the third base line. I lost my first four challenge opportunities; won the fifth one. If I didn't get it during the top of the first I would restart. Probably took me around 12-15 attempts. Frustrating but you will eventually get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankoney Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I got this in Diamond Dynasty without even going for it. I picked to play an Extra Innings game, pitched the ball, and the CPU bunted the very first pitch. It was a close call safe, it gave me the square prompt to challenge, and it got overturned. Just lucky, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedport Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I get enough chances to challenge a call, but they are not even close. Pure luck is what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKE_7 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Like most of the trophies, this will eventually come by playing the game, I was playing franchise when a close play at first occurred. Initially he was called safe, but I had a chance to challenge and it was overturned, and the funny thing was i think my first basemen was off the bag.

Johnny Bananas Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have a complaint. I have had close calls while bunting and i am not getting the menu. Either u guys are using settings or something is jacked up on my end. It doesn't happen a lot. I've only had it pop up once in about 20 games. Plenty of close calls as well.

SwitchbladeAli Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I bunted two nine inning games yesterday, like Ned Yost was managing, but I never got any opportunity to challenge. It was in exhibition game, umpire close call was on (double checked it) and fast gameplay. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS4Trophies Wozamil Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Edit your team's speed to 99 and bunt every at bat. I may have had baserunner speed at max as well (I don't remember) but I would get a challenge every game. I lost the first 6 or so before winning one. I always did a drag bunt down the 3rd base line.

ftwrthtx Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I got it with a 99 rated right handed player, bunting to third. Took several tries and I restarted the game if I lost the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gameplay Options"->-> in case you don't know where to find it I only got only one challenge in the DD and that was it. After that there was no more challenges. Like there has to be more to it then that. Its like I bunt they throw I hit the bag before they catch it but yet I dont get not one damn challenge. Only one that was it.  These trophies are BS.

SwitchbladeAli Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 These trophies are BS. I feel you. Got heavily downvoted on reddit for my comment, that last year's list was the easiest of the franchise and this year's situational & luck based trophies will take an awful lot of time.

Manifest Density Pt. 2 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have a much easier way to get it. Edit all the batters run speed to 0 for a team you want to play against. Now your 2/3 & Ss should have their field ability & throwing all the way up. Make the other team hit grounders to your 2/3&ss. HOLD the ball a bit longer and time your throw so that you just beat the runner. If the throw is close enough theyll call it safe and give you a review chance. Watch the 20 second replay If he is out do the challenge. If he was safe try again with the next batter and or until you time it just right.

chewbacon Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ive had several plays at 1st base... all being the runner. I guess im just unlucky, all 5 have been against me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashdiary27 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Took me about a hour with constant bunting. Did it against lester and the cubs. Maxed out all my runners speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsishi Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was beginning to think that challenge opportunities were like Bigfoot and simply didn't exist as I had had numerous "close" plays at first with nary a chance. Then on defense I had a bang bang play at first and I finally, after a month of playing, had a chance to challenge! I was all over that and my first and so far only challenge was a success! No messing with sliders or editing players or anything! Yay:dance:! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODEx_Vip3r Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 instead of bunting i just did this while going for Nope/Sorry, when the opposing team hit the ball to the second baseman i just waited to throw to first until the very last second and got it that way.
