Showdown is telling of this games flaws

Fake news. Nothing wrong with Showdown cause there’s players who have no trouble with it. Their experience speaks for everyone else’s experience.
-
Showdown is pretty simple. You have two groups.
-
Those who complete it successfully are mentally strong.
-
Those who fail are chokers and can’t handle the pressure of a possibility of failure.

Those who get 12-0 in BR are 10/10 alpha males who have 5 girlfriends and a 9 figure job where they work 3 hours a week, while those who get 12-1 are disease ridden mongrels who should be wiped from the earth in order to make way for more 12-0 superchads.

We finally have an offline mode that's somewhat challenging (though not really) that gives good rewards and people cry because they can't mindlessly grind like back in 18 where we could play the Rockies at coors on rookie mindlessly to rack up our 500 hits that we needed. Sorry.

Yeah, they choked when their good hits were nerfed and the CPU makes insane defensive plays. Totally the fault of the player.
How can I improve my perfect/perfect hits to be successful? Since you seem to have figured it out.

this. I'm statistically one of the worst players ever (Never even got a hit in 500 online games), yet I can sleepwalk through showdown. Already got all 30 FoTF and mantle just from a few days of occasionally pressing X while watching TV

I think their more frustrated with the nerfed hits and CPU making awesome plays to take one away...repeatedly. How do you combat that? Like, when you do everything right but the game is making the decisions....frustrating.

In showdown I'd say 90% of my perfect hits drop, i'll even keep track next final boss I do, most of my good squared's fall, once in awhile the computer makes a great play, but if 1 play is ruining your whole showdown experience I don't really know what to tell you.

Like I said, your experience with it puts all the others to rest. If the CPU is only every once in a while taking one away from you....does that mean it’s doing the same for everyone else?

Am I playing a different game from everyone else? because the way you guys talk it seems like it, I have a friend that's completed all 30 fotf players so far using showdowns exclusively, are we playing a different game than you guys?

You're a better hitter, so you have more perfect hits than most, so more fall in. Same as the better hitters in RS overcoming rng.
When you have less good hits it's easier to point to them not falling or getting robbed.

I have a friend who has done enough showdowns to complete each FOTF player 3 times over. He says the amount of bs is unreal.
So yeah, apparently the CPU does different things for different players during their games. Otherwise, their would be ONE strategy to beat the ONLY thing the CPU does in EVERY GAME.
Games are different for everyone is what I’m saying.
-
If you want an actual criticism from me, It's just that it feels like the CPU difficulty presented is NOT the same as the play vs CPU equivalent. watching Tyler Duffey go from so wild he walked two batters in a row without getting close to the zone to watching him dot the corners 3 straight batters and never once making a mistake pitch is pretty jarring, and I don't think I've ever seen that in an MLB game.
I think we'd be better off if they just didn't tell you what the difficulty is at all

But that’s not game flaw then, that’s player flaw

The CPU will always make good plays in any mode you play, it isn’t exclusive to showdown. And my hits definitely aren’t nerfed just because I’m playing showdown.

I guess. It's not more unfair to you than it is me, you're just good enough to overcome it, apparently I'm not.

You can improve your inputs by bribing Ted who works at SDS. He put me in the category for players that get rewarded and get to play on rookie difficulty while everyone else plays at legend. Just have to be willing to drop $200 in chase quick pay to Ted@sonysandiegostudios.com

I cant tell you how many perfect hits are line drives to 2and. I'm having nightmares about it. Not that it doesnt happen in other modes, but compared to veteran conquest it happens a lot.
