    Drive by trucker is just amazing at the game so it doesn’t effect him. But I definitely agree. I had never lost a stage 2 showdown. But I’m only 50-50 on them now. Just lost a final showdown when I was only down 11-15. Didn’t get my first hit until 4 outs left. So many good-good and good-squared up outs.

    I’m really nothing special at the game lmao.

    Stage 2 showdowns are as easy as it gets.

    Being easy has absolutely nothing to do with it when anything you get ahold of flutters to the outfield or when you get a man on 1st you know a double play is coming no matter how high in the zone you make contact.

    No one can correctly say what is easy or difficult for other people. We get it. You find it easy. So what? You are not everyone.

    That just isn’t true. I’ve never had those issues in Showdown. If I hit a ball hard and in the air with a power hitter, it almost always leaves. And double plays are easy to stay out of, just get under the ball.

    Many, many people find them easy.

    And technically, with Stage 2 being on Veteran, they are easy. It’s an easy difficulty.

    I wouldn’t say they are hard, but can be frustrating when the CPU has gold glovers everywhere. Common fielders with their diving catches and robbing homers is getting ridiculous.

    Again you are wrong. Easy or difficult are perspectives which are based on many factors: skill level, time to play, enjoyment, and many others. Just because from my perspective you are a [censored], for example, doesn't make it Truth. See how it works? You do not get to decide Truth, only your perspective. Another example would be how I find the concept of perspective easy, but you find that difficult.

    I think what he was trying to point out is that if you look at the difficulties compared to how other games scale them Vetwran would be considered easy mode.
    Rookie=Beginner/story mode
    Veteran=easy
    All Star=normal
    HOF=hard
    Legend=hardest

    So even tho the "easy" difficulty may still be difficult for some people, it is still considered "easy".

    Not really, no.

    It's pretty clear they stealth buffed showdown sliders in the last update. Not sure why you're so hell bent on pushing back against the majority that have the mental capacity to notice it.

    Yes, I beat the 4th inning showdown easily, and yes, they were easier BEFORE the last patch. Both can be true.

    It is very obvious that SDS mucked with the showdown sliders in the last patch. Exit velocity is an absolute disaster (way worse than any other mode) and timing windows are incredibly small for “veteran”. We get it, your programmers are third rate, but if you put something on veteran let it play like veteran.

    Want a tissue? Calling people trying to work in a pandemic "third rate", grow up

    I have not noticed any difference whatsoever. And I’ve played plenty of showdowns before and after.

    If anything, I’ve been winning them even more easily lately.

    I think they made the moments in between easier, but the final boss def has more diving plays made by the fielders and good contact resulting in lazy flys. Like I said, I beat them easily, but have noticed the bosses take me a few more outs than normal.

    Stage 2 is easy, but I have noticed some differences lately. The computer hits the ball better and I’ve lost several “ do not give up a run or honerun” moments and they also have started to hit and run often.

    It’s not a slump though, it’s observational based on gameplay. Go into a play vs cpu game with the same team you have in showdown (and even without the perks) the gameplay is way better on the same difficulty level. I’m not complaining because I lost (I beat the AL twice yesterday), but because the gameplay is awful and different.

    There's no argument that fielders are juiced in showdown but thats been known from the beginning. I agree with the people who say they haven't seen any difference. From my experience it hasn't changed.
