Just cant finish that 1st inning showdown
-
Man I've probably wasted about 10000 stubs just for the entry fee for this mode. Does anyone have any extra tips or advice? Ive stacked on LH/S hitters every time with only like silver pitchers. Each time ive managed to bring the score to about 9/10-15 but just cant finish it off. Closest i got was 13-15. Thanks

I haven't finished it either, but I've made a profit overall, so it's not really a waste of stubs. You just have to beat the first mini-boss to make a profit.
I psych myself out and always choke. I only take one silver starter and pen, wasting anymore picks on pitchers is useless, you don't even use pitchers on the final boss.

Yeah man, for some reason i just cant finish it off. I feel like the perks have done nothing good for me.

You probably already know this but just in case you don’t, for the showdown boss battles or whatever they are called you can stack your lineup with your best hitters. Defensive position means nothing. Put Nelson Cruz at ss or catcher, it will allow you to do so. Also just keep drafting hitters besides one silver sp and one silver rp. Draft the best hitter available each round as like I said defense isn’t a consideration in the battles. Also stack your lineup with lefties if facing a righty or the other way around.
-
I was struggling for a bit and then I would read the showdowns actually and who was on the bump. Modified my lineup for best results and it was fairly simple after that.
-
I was in the middle of the 1st inning showdown when this message kept popping up saying server maintenance. Needless to say I lost. Wish there was a post in game or on the home screen, it would have saved me my entry fee. I guess I'll give it another shot later.
-
This is mode is giving me headaches lol. So frustrating, I feel like every ball I line up is hit right at a fielder.
-
I know some people don’t want to spend the time flipping cards but everyone makes it seem like 1000 stubs is a steep price for showdown. if you buy 6 silver cards then sell them back you make 1000 stubs in 10 minutes
-
Anyone else find it odd that we still have to pitch the bottom half of three inning away games after having failed to score enough runs?
-
It took me like 8 tries but eventually by some luck i got it.
And by luck I mean a 3 run no doubt JACK to end it with Trae Turner
-
I also feel like these difficulties are not always what they say they are. I normally love HoF, especially online. You would think with these so called “perks” that you would be alot more successful but they haven’t done anything for me.

Let them tie it and keep playing.
-
I guess that is why... makes sense.
-
Mann I lost it 15-15 ... their defense decides to make every diving catch possible towards the last 3 outs. Lol
-
Get the contact and velo perks. Sometimes you don’t get a chance to pick them and it’s harder ( not as hard as the divisions showdowns tho) also be patient and make the pitcher lose confidence with balls and walks.... the ya re way easier to hit at low confidence

Wasted stubs? Are you just skipping to the end? You can earn your stubs back and make a small profit by beating the first Red mission (and previous missions) but if you are just skipping to the end then that is on you.
-
I just finished it. Last mission was the easiest 15 outs and score 8 runs off kenley. Its a shame they introduce a new mode and charge an entry few. That really irked me as missions in other games like madden are free. Overall i like the game and hopefully they dont tweak it that much.
-
Finally finished on my like the 12th try. Things i learned along the way. Obviously pitching doesn’t matter, select as many power lefty bats as you can, play all the moments, be patient at the plate especially in the elimination showdowns, I found the exit velocity perks were very beneficial especially if you waited for your pitch, and finally try not to get rattled if you make a few quick outs lol.

The key is patience I have failed a number of times but have been taking the wait it 2 stikes approach. You have to wear down the pitcher to get his energy low which then impacts his confidence speically if you work 2 or 3 walks then he will start to hang pitches. I have made some more process and taking this approach. In all I have made stubs on this mode as you get your fee and a pack back if you beat the first boss so never skip to the final boss right away

This is why Showdown exists. To steal out stubs away.
