Finished Affinity Showdown in 26 minutes

Definitely a new record for me. I’m not one of those animals that can just jump immediately to the final boss, so getting through the entire thing in less than 30 minutes was pretty good for me. Got lucky with a few more short ones than normal and was hitting lead off HR’s a bunch.

Nice. I’m having the hardest time ever trying to beat them anymore. It’s quite frustrating slamming the ball for out over and over. Last couple of days playing this almost exclusively has really had me already ready to pack it in on this game for the year.
Also unpopular opinion but I don’t think jumping straight to the boss saves much time.

That's not really an unpopular opinion. It doesn't really save you time at all if you got thru the first three...

Well based on what you see on YouTube a lot it seems unpopular. But some of these like strike out one guy, get 2 TB or 4 TB for 2 runs seems way quicker. If it wasn’t for the mid boss I’d say it was faster to play through them.

Same. Durring the first week or 2 I was able to blow through them without trouble, almost like I was playing against the cpu on veteran. No more tho. I gave up on it, so many times you get to within 2 runs of beating the final boss and a switch flips. All the sudden perfects are right at the infielders and every pitch is on the black.
Its clear they adjusted the sliders to make it harder to complete. I just don't understand why.

I’ve actually gotten pretty efficient with them and I am not great.
There are a few of the moments that just always give me fits. Ryan Yarbrough can walk off a bridge. The Dansby walk off moment is annoying. The pirates one gets irritating when you keep hitting smashes for singles instead of gaps.

Its really only quicker if you struggle to complete the required mission in the first half of the inning IMO. Mostly with the ones where you need so many total bases or hits within 2 or 3 innings. Once you get sucked into playing a 3 inning game to complete them it becomes a bit of a slog.
I actually wish it had the option to jump to first boss or last boss. I'd prefer do the "easier" mini showdown henchman one for a free pack and a diamond hitter than some of the individual moments.

Facts. I just went in a final boss down 4 and tied it up with 10 outs and then proceeded to get 8 out of 10 outs with solid good contact to fail. Our user input counts for maybe 10 percent of the outcomes. It’s the reason this game is the most generous of all sports games but will have less players than 2k that’s been out for months before it. I want to like the game but It’s just not a real enjoyable experience. Servers will be real strong then though lol.

People on youtube do it for clout.. It's not faster to do them on the whole like that.
