    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.

    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.

    There are better ways of dealing with other players frustrations than by simply throwing your successes in their face. That just makes the situation worse.

    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 🙄

    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.

    Good video. Ransom always has good tip videos. Thanks for posting it though.

    Gonna give this two strike thing a shot tonight. I've lost like at least 15 different runs through them so far, maybe a few more than that. Always been too aggressive. So yeah, thanks.

    I like showdown & would have to disagree with anybody that says it’s “rigged”. My only gripe with the mode is that the cpu makes an insane amount of ridiculous diving plays. Doesn’t matter what they’re rated as a fielder, they’ll make the catch. Other than that, I’ve had no issue with the mode. I’d say a lot of people are seeing the difficulty setting & thinking it should be a cakewalk. Just slow your approach with the final boss & don’t allow yourself to get rattled.

    I may be in the minority, but I enjoy Showdown. Takes some strategy and a lot of patience at the plate. I also like that it is challenging at times. It is always the 2nd boss battle that gets me sweating. It would be boring if it was a cake walk every time. It’s OK to lose sometimes. I think this mode is a great addition by SDS. Hang in there and keep trying.
