I actually find stage 3 easier or at least equal to stage 2. They are definitely faster to complete than stage 2. The 1 strikeout moments are quick.
I been getting to final boss with more runs than stage 2. Stage 2 was anywhere from 7 to 14 runs , with average around 10. Stage 3 been 10 to 14 runs. Makes a huge difference going into it with more runs
Yes, the pitchers are better which makes you be more patient. The more runs makes up for it
No idea how you can make this claim...
Stage 2: Score 2 runs in the inning Start with a man on 2nd and 3rd with no outs
Stage 3: Score 2 runs in the inning Start with nobody on baseThese are the majority of both of what these stages normally look like...yeah there's always one long pitching one in Stage 2 but you just skip that single mission to save yourself 20 mins
Stage 2: I'd generally go in with 13-15 runs
Stage 3: It's like 10-13 runsI honestly wonder if you just got better at the game between Stage 2 and Stage 3
Valid point. Did switch over to a monitor. I honestly think completing every team affinity moment helped make me patient

Stage 3 is faster though. I never skipped a moment in stage 2 and yeah that long pitching one eats a lot of time

I can see that but over the course I think they even out. Getting 2 runs with the bases loaded I can end in a single swing on stage 2 whereas many times I'm going the full 2 innings to get 2 runs with the bases bare

I'm not bad, but playing this mode lowers every bit of Mojo i think i have. Last night playing 5th inning showdown and made it to final showdown against Mo only needing 5 runs, i could only score 4. I truly believe this is a time wasting mode.

I feel ashamed to admit it but this morning I lost to Catfish! Freaking Catfish Hunter!
Was down 7-15 in the final showdown. Scored 5 runs with still 12 out left... and it was line drive city for the rest of the showdown and I lose 12-15. Oh and my last at bat was a line at the first baseman who turned the fastest 3-6-3 double play I’ve ever seen! I know it was Matt Olson who has I think diamond defense but c’mon! It was garbage

The East stage 3 is the most difficult by far.
Central is the easiest, and the West was on par with the stage 2 difficulty.
I’d switch East and west in your order personally, although I guess it depends what final boss you play. I think West has the harder moments but Marichal and Catfish are easier to face than Palmer/Leiter/Smoltz/Henke. If you get Hershiser the west is difficult

It's only time wasting when you don't win the final showdown.... which I have had happen multiple times... very frustrating to spend an 45 min to an hour to get to that point and lose... 20 pts towards a TA plus the stubs/xp you get completing them is worth the time though

I hate all the score 2 runs get 2 extra base hits, dont allow a run. Cant tell you how many bombs have ruined me finally getting the offensive stats.
But honestly the bosses are still so much easier than stage 1, that i still rarely fail. Beat Catfish going in 5-15. You know how horrible it was only winning blue moments for 5 runs.

I beat around 90% of showdowns I do, and the inning ones on the first try every time. I am starting to think they are a waste of time though, not for TA progress, but enjoying life! I get so mad during these, even when I win. I will lose playing online and never get that mad.
My stress levels are not worth the XP and stubs this far into the game anymore!

The reason the East is hardest for me is two-fold. First, the final bosses, especially Palmer are difficult for me to hit for some reason. Secondly, the moments leading up to the final showdown are typically offense and pitching goal oriented, making it that much more difficult.
The West is on par with stage 2 because I usually have 12-13 runs by the time I make it to the final boss.
And the Central is easiest because of the final bosses and many of the moments are strike out 1 batter, hold the 3 run lead, score a run in the top of the first etc.
