Tips for 5th Inning Showdown
-
Tips:
Take pitches against Mariano Rivera. Remember, he's a relief pitcher. His stamina is going to start to get brutally low once he hits about 40 pitches. Just survive with enough outs until then and I promise you'll beat him.
Remember to look at each challenge AND THEN set your Perks. For example, if it says you're starting in the 8th inning, you know to use a perk like Spark-Plug where you make better contact in and after the 7th inning. This will save your life.
Personally, I always switch to Directional for Showdowns. It makes it 100x easier for me, for some reason.
Don't draft more than one reliever and starter. I didn't even use my starting pitcher but maybe you will. I'm not certain that they have more challenges.
In my experiences, I've had the most success with the Defibrillator perks; silver gives you a contact boost in even counts (0-0, 1-1, 2-2); gold gives you a contact boost when you are behind in the count (love this one); and the diamond gives you a huge contact boost when you have two strikes. The diamond one is great for a number of reasons, not only can you basically put the controller down until you have 2 strikes but once you do, you can pretty much foul ANYTHING off which is going to raise the pitch count even higher!
I'm also a big fan of the perks that affect exit velocity. In combination with ones that give you a contact boost, you can straight wreck these final bosses.

Question, I am close to getting the program stars to get Walker or Mo. Do you need to complete all of these?

You don't HAVE to complete anything other than making it to 300 stars... once there you get to pick one of the three.. completing the showdown just gives you a boost towards getting to 300.... if that's what you're asking?

I meant do you have to complete all missions in order to get the 70 points? Meaning if I fail one of them, does it mean I have re-do them. Thanks in advance.
