Cover showdown
-
Nothing is more aggravating than Showdown. I hate them. I'm usually able to do them in a few tries but it doesn't make me hate it any less. I tried this one once, completed all of the 1 run missions but only 1 of the 2 run ones, went into the final 12-8, made it 12-12 with the winning run on 3rd and popped out.
If there was no other way to finish the program I'd do it, but I just made an all Red Sox lineup and pitching staff and I'm just going to grind the program out that way doing mini seasons. I was grinding mini seasons anyways so it's the same difference.

Tried again this morning. Got through to the second Ohtani before I had to leave. Missed probably 3 missions. Ohtani missions came down to almost the end. I dont have a lot of faith I'll finish when I get back on.
It would be nice if I didn't ground into a double play every time I have a runner on first. I tell myself to get under the ball and still end up hitting lineouts or grounders. It's like the CPU pitching moves magically at the last minute. I've got a bunch of 90-100 power hitters and can't get any exit velocity to save my life (or showdown run). Good input isn't being rewarded.

I was a bit apprehensive about this SD based on some notes here, and especially after failing just my first mini mission, but somehow ran the tables the rest of the way. Do recall 1 mini (maybe last one?) where I needed a HR against a LH with sinker + circle. Found two hits but just nothing doing, last guy was silver Eugenio Suarez (weird not to see him as a red!!) and PP blast.
Go into final boss down 2…work through first 8 with 1 run and have bases loaded, sub babe for my pitcher….grand slam…it was so beautiful to watch…
I found ohtani there a lot of balls ([censored] that splitter), so just be patient and keep grinding.

Was down 12-6, but got an RBI double with one out remaining to beat it on my second try today. Be patient, and wait for pitches up in the zone would be my advice.

As if showdown wasn’t stupid enough, they made nearly every mission the same stupid thing. “Get a HR before they get a hit.” Ahhh lick my grundle.

That's called SDS being lazy
It takes time to come up with creative missions

Lol same with moments, hate those so much
-
Yeah, failed it so far the first 2 attempts. I usually blow threw these, but having a real tough time with this one.
-
With the way the hitting is this year, not sure I want to put myself through that
-
After several tries I finally got it done.
A couple of key things I did, was to focus on picking guys who smash right handed pitching. The second thing was to anchor my PCI low in the zone against Ohtani, guarding against that splitter, and reacting to anything up in the zone.

Yeah, I finished last night when I got back on and actually had no trouble completing the last two missions and the final Ohtani. Like, what?
I think it’s the hitting issues that are overall present in this game coming to root in the showdown. Good input not being rewarded.

I absolutely despise Showdowns so i never do them. Thats why i just made a team and decided to grind US Conquest again til i finish the CS program.
I hate them, too. And I'm going to do like you with Conquest and also do CPU games to get through it.

I have failed 15 times. The RG makes sure I lose a few challenges along the way with Perfect/Perfect line outs and warning track fly balls...
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Maybe don't use Perfect Pitch? I just use Classic.

Honestly didnt take as long as i thought. I used Robbie Ray as my pitcher every game, then Joe Nathan for the save...had cover Cabrera, LS Judge, Donaldson and McCutchen then used a few Red Sox and Buxton. After i did Cutch and Donaldson once, i decided to just do the team ones. It went quicker.
