Showdown is extreme...

First time?
-
This thread is making me feel better about my game. I didn’t think I was all that good (usually get to the low 800’s in RS once a year or something), but I’m rolling through these Showdowns. Stumbled my first 2 efforts, but I’ve won like 10 in a row since, all relatively easily. It’s pretty easy to get at least 8 runs heading into the final boss, some of which are basically given to you (like “don’t give up a hit”).

but once they get to 3 balls some setting kicks in to bump up their accuracy.
Exactly. I’ll get to three balls, usually obvious balls, and then they’ll uncork some slider that looks like it’s coming way inside, only to dot the black.

I’ve only failed one, and it was bc I could not touch dibbles fastball for some reason waaay late over and over . The other times I played him I’d win in two or three at bats so I don’t know what happened lol

I beat showdown like 5 times a day lol, couldn’t be easier.

If this is on veteran im black... They throw maybe 30% strikes and the strikes they do throw are inside fastballs that are incredibly hard to hit... You also hit a ton of warning track shots with people like joey gallo with 110 power. I don't care that its hard but labeling it as "Veteran" is absurd when the CPU is the best player to touch the sticks ever
It is definitly not veteran. I play a lot of conquest on veteran, and this is WAY WAY more like two levels up from veteran.

Yeah, I truly don’t get how people complain about it. It was always an easy mode, and this year it’s a complete joke. Well, so far anyway, I’m sure they’ll be adding more difficult showdowns. It’s my favorite way to grind those team affinity programs.

they did the same thing last year where showdown was nearly impossible early then everyone complained and they made them extremely easy.

Biggest tip I’ve saw was to take exit velocity perks & use all of those in showdown. The ball flies off the bat. Don’t have to worry about outs at the wall
