I’m not sure first inning showdown is even worth the 35k xp for the aggravation.
-
I finally beat this on the 4th try, walk off HR. As I'm loading back in - server error. Didn't count the win, when I tried to resume it said I didn't finish the game so it counted as a loss.
Back to square one
-
I'm literally only playing Conquest right now because I don't want to get robbed of a Showdown win. When I feel like I'm not getting constant server errors I'll give it a go. If that happens before May 7 or whenever the 1st inning one ends.
Anyone been doing the TA showdowns? Seems like a good way to get repeated TA points, if you can repeat them. I don't feel like doing Collections anytime soon. -

I don't know man, I went into the final boss 15-15. Just finished NL Central TA and NL West TA to 100%, haven't lost a single moment in any of them.
Just keep practicing, hopefully it gets easier. They shouldn't make showdown easier, it's as easy as it can get IMO.
I’m about .500 on the TA showdowns. I thought they were fair.
This did not seem fair. I know when I do things to screw up and suck but I was patient, didn’t swing at junk mostly, and still hit everything at someone. Add to it the dissapearing baserunner and it is totally garbage.
I don’t mind losing. I don’t like feeling cheated like I did here.
You didn't have a disappearing base runner. You just kept hitting over low balls (double plays), and under fast balls (fly outs). Work on PCI placement and you'll be good.
The disappearing base runner "glitch" happens when your base runner comes up to bat the next time. IDK if it's intentional or not but good players won't run into that problem
I always wondered what the game would do if that situation occurred...
But to the OP, I feel your pain. I CANNOT avoid double plays in there. And they’re such killers.
Yep. There are WAY too many dps for it to be normal.
-
No offense OP.... but I feel like only new players are complaining about showdowns because they are much easier this year than they were last year. Gotta be patient and wait for your pitches to hit.
-
This showdown was harder than the TA ones I agree on that. I didn’t think about FV being the pitcher and stacked my lineup with lefties. I went into it rushing the final boss with 6 runs and beat it first try.
These showdowns are way easier than last year. You need to pick your pitches. I’ll strike out looking before I swing at some ish that’s gonna be a double play. -
How many people have the bosses yet...I’ve been putting in a couple hours each day, did all the missions and conquest, showdown, Davis program...I’m still about 50K shy. Oh and also, the inning rewards are dogshit...if I knew they’d nuke rewards in favour of making BR and World Series rewards grindable I would’ve politely declined

Well it didn’t happen last year. And yes, it’s a glitch.
Right, other people have had that issue, but you didn't. You would have mentioned it in your OP if that had happened. Your issue is swinging at bad pitches and PCI placement. It's on Rookie....you can do this.
Serious question, did you read my post? I mentioned it in the second paragraph.
Or are you just trolling?
Not trolling, you edited your post after the fact. Like I said above, I'm sorry if that happened. I've played 40-50 showdowns and haven't had that issue. So either it's extremely rare, or I'm extremely lucky.
You’re a liar, I didn’t edit anything.
I also posted a video,
It literally says at the top "last edited 14 hours ago" Its on rookie dude these people are trying to be nice to you. Its not a glitch. Its on Rookie dude... If you can't get a runner around the bases in 9 batters he deserves to disapeer. I did it first try while holding my 1 and a half year old. Oh and also, that isn't even your video..
-
Last year we got 75 stars for a completed inning showdown, right? If so, that was 25% of the 300 stars needed for the boss.
This year, 35k points is only worth 10%. Seems like they gave us more last year because of the shortened MLB season. Definitely feels like a rip off.
How did it work before 2020?
-
Compared to last year's 1st Inning Showdown, this year is a joke. Most of the games on Rookie, the remainder on Veteran.
Honestly, this is not that hard.

Easiest way for me to help you is to tell you to give the pitcher the bottom 1/3rd of the plate. You'll likely hit into double plays often, especially with a guy like Valenzuela who throws 3 offspeed pitches. You also have that with guys who like to throw sinkers. You will strike out a few more times if you give them that bottom third, but I prefer to take a strike out than a double play.
-
Best advice I got for showdowns was from a YouTube video.
- Get every exit velocity perk you can.
- Keep your PCI centered and ONLY swing at pitches down the middle (or near).
- Use power swing.
- Don't be afraid to take pitches, work the count. Maximize your perks.
This method works extremely well for me, the only issue I have is when the servers decide to steal a showdown win from me with the unhandled exception nonsense.

It took me 3 tries to do it. I do hit and runs and Fernando is easy to still off of. I only have 2 left handed hitters in my lineup. I stack with RH. Speed on the bench.

I had a ton of trouble with the showdowns last year. So far this year, I'm having very good luck with the TA showdowns. For this one, I failed my first attempt, but I had an awful draft and I wasn't being patient.

I don't personally find it funny that you accused me of lying, then laugh when it's shown that you lied.
I do see what's happening with base runners now. You got a guy on base, you got EIGHT outs without moving him around, and he came up to bat again.
If you can't get a guy home with EIGHT outs, what do you expect them to do? Skip that batter in the order?
This is why most of us have never had this issue. Keep practicing, you'll get there in time.

I mean. You could always, I dunno, pinch run for your guy at third before he disappears. Just a thought.
