Showdown extreme

Although I’m sure there will be a lot of posts about it in the coming days. What are some tips for the extreme conquest? Besides praying for the best luck in the work, Should I draft more lefties or righties? Should I skip ahead to the final once I get to a certain point? Any input is greatly appreciated

The best thing i can recommend is to draft power guys. Have speed on the bench. Also pick the best hitters in each draft because they never have to play the field. You can put a power hitting left fielder at Short for example..
Also take pitches, especially against relievers as there energy will run out making them more hittable. I almost lost to smoltz, but i let some pitches go by and it shot his energy and confidence -
The Bosses are very random it seems. Never faced the sames guys twice. But I have only attempted it twice. Went perfect then died in the final. It was very sad, and the tears were EXTREMELY salty! Especially when I took Pearson down to 0 energy, only down 3 runs with 12 outs, but his confidence never moved in the 190 pitched he threw.

I’ve got a very left handed heavy line up, but I ensure I draft enough right handed batters because you will face left handed pitching leading up to pearson

I drafted only 1 lefty all others were right-handed or switch hitters i'd rather get the max runs available before facing Pearson and it worked out. Well I completed 1st try faced Catfish Hunter Paxton Smoltz can't remember who else but glad I picked all rights and switch because Pax gave me the most trouble. Offline I hit Right on Right easy and struggle more with rhp with lefts and the opposite online.
I honestly think I got a amazing draft not sure how similar they are for everyone else but had loads with fast swings with 90+ speed guys mostly all over excluding J.Ram 1 or 2 others.

SAME HERE, man... did you experience what I did against Pearson? He was completely out of energy, yet he was still dotting corners. I really can’t imagine myself being good enough to beat him.

Just completed showdown. Won it with 8 outs left and I only had 6hits. He walked me so many times.
My approach was take til 2 strikes for first three times through lineup. I had contact boost in 2 strike counts, exit velo boost in 0-0, 1-1 and 2-2 and finally exit velo boost below 50% energy. Worked wonders

I beat it on the first try, honestly didn't seem that hard. Definitely keep in mind positions don't matter since they are all bosses. Just take the best hitters as someone else said. I didn't skip any mini bosses. When you get to Pearson just sit fastball early, and he'll be wild to. For me once I timed the fastball and hit a couple out he started throwing more offspeed stuff for sure.

Yep. You just have to be very VERY patient and watch those pitches. After this post I went 0 for like 30 against the first elimination round and can't seem to get back to the final as often.

Anybody looking for help should go watch Rebels YouTube video helped me a bunch.

I had it beat, and had two stupid base running errors that killed me ( lost 20-19). Also had 3 perfect perfect fly outs in last 6 outs ( so those “perks” are useless )...
