Showdown
-
I was down 5 going in and actually scored 5 runs the first 5 batters. Then it seemed like the clamps were put on. I did eventually beat it with like 7 or 8 outs left but more painful then it needed to be

I’ve been complaining about showdown for two days now. It’s BS. But all the SDS White Knights come riding in and tell me how easy it is and I’m just bad at the game. The rigged sliders are a major turn off. Don’t pretend it’s rookie or veteran just display a message “fluctuating sliders intended to induce losing will happen during showdowns” on the loading screen. Just be honest about it.
Just because some of us like the mode doesn't make us SDS white knights lol. Get over yourself. This boss felt harder than most.

I was gonna ask in my own thread, but I'll ask here instead.
I beat the Showdown on the first try, but I was lucky I guess. My MVP was of all things a right handed catcher named Eric Haase believe it or not. In the entire run, he hit 7 HRs and 99 Vladdy managed none.
Anyways, I faced Nolan twice in the showdown. Once on Rookie and once on Veteran. Was it me or did that 102 MPH fastball look like it was coming in at LEGEND speeds? I've seen legend online and I swear it was screaming in at mach speeds.
I have a sneaky suspicion that they played with the sliders this time in the Ryan moments of Showdown to make hit pitches seem faster than they actually were.

My guess is they gassed him up so people will go buy him because of the upfront negative appeal to his pitch rep. But now having people jump in to showdown and face him, I think the goal was for players to walk away and go “wow he’s nasty, I gotta go buy him!”

So can SDS just admit that when you're close to beating the boss the difficulty changes.
Had no problem getting from the 12-15 deficit to 15-15. Now Ryan looks like we're on HOF or Legend.
Pretty dirty pool
Haha, that's how mine played out as well. I got it from 11-15 to 14-15 with two runners on fairly easy. Then I struck out like 6-7 times in a row.
Funny thing is that I then loaded the bases and hit a contact swing grand slam to win.

I will only attempt the SD if I'm near the end of the program and there isn't many days left. I'm not putting up with the BS they pull in that mode if I don't have to.

Ya got to 15-15 with about 10-11 outs left. Couldn't touch the ball. Tried bunting when I got down to 5 outs left and just pop ups to Cather. I hate Nolan Ryan

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Did that in the 4th; no way would have got to max without SD and double XP

Funny, I've completed all programs so far without technically needing it. Just part of my OCD to make sure I finish. I want that 90+ pack again since it gave me Trout in the 4th inning and I'm hopeful to get him again.
