Showdown is a carnival game

Rigged as hell
-
Yeah, not worth playing since they patched it to be unfair.
-
I was just as frustrated as you are but its really just being patient enough to wait for the right pitch. Took me forever to do the 1st inning but i finally did it by just waiting till 2 strikes on every at bat. I still think its rigged, but only thing i try not to do is get stressed and force the hits.

Supes hard and rigged...

Ransom put up a little video on YouTube explaining how to be a little more successful at Showdown. Long story short, take a two strike approach.

Like what is the point of this? Does everyone on here have to be a massive piece of [censored] person constantly? I also beat the NL east showdown, should I be a massive asshole towards people who havent too? Fucking dorks.

Every day
Showdown is rigged
Showdown is impossible
Showdown is the worst thing this franchise has ever done
Everything I hit in showdown is a line out

Ok? In a mode where only offense matters, people are paying an entry fee but are regularly forced to pick pitchers and all glove fielders. Everything about this game is a random mess that lacks any forethought by the devs and it gets old so people complain in a place that they know has developer's eyes on it. Until(if) they fix it, people are going to complain about it.

What are you talking about? There’s only 1 all pitcher round..

Read the rest of that sentence and then figure out what I am talking about. Jesus christ this place is full of idiots. "Im gonng quote half your sentence and then pretend I didnt read the rest to make my point".

It’s 1000x easier than Moments, like playing Conquest on Veteran. Down swing unless you have 2 strikes, use contact boost perks. Been screaming it for 2 weeks but easier to [censored] than searching for a solution

There is no problem with showdown.. sorry that guys expect to just do things mindlessly in the game

Thanks, gonna give your 2 strike approach serious try. Like in your video how last HR your pci is not even covering the ball. Those are fly outs for me everytime.... Lost track but think this is my last 8th try at Showdown. Frustrating part is having to start all over from scratch and hit or miss if you get to pick from ideal hitters.

Thank you, but all the credit goes to Ransom, it’s his content I just shared it with whoever needs some help.

Notice Jensen throws ton of cutters. I cant seem to hit HR off the cutter. Almost makes me think should be trying a high contact & vision lineup against him for final showdown
-
My advice to people on showdown, go play some offline modes on HOF or legend, get used to the speeds, then go back to showdown after a little break.
I promise you will find it MUCH easier.

For me it's not the difficulty or the amount of runs you have to score, hit rates just seem way lower in that mode than any other offline mode. I would say more times than not, a good swing in showdown does not result in a hit. It's either a missile to an outfielder, a one hop tailor-made double play at 105mph, or some sort of crazy circus catch. For example, in my last attempt (which resulted in a success) the infield was in, I hit a ball on the ground 100+mph. It's a one hop rocket that was gloved by a diving Gleyber Torres and ended up being a double play. Gleyber dove to catch a missile ground ball while the infield was IN and then turned the double play. Incredible.

Painful, just missed beating the final showdown.... had 15 runs only needed one more! 🤯 Jensen hardly throws any swingable pitches.
