Showdown is telling of this games flaws

I don't mind that Showdown is hard. I mind that it is such a big part of the potential points you can earn in the first inning, so much so that many of us won't make it to 300 points. The alternative methods to get those points are just not fun.

I'm giving Showdown a break. I beat AL East once in 3 tries, beat the AL Central twice in 3 tries and have lost to the AL West all 5 tries (Ohtani beat me 3 times, lost on round 1 once (EVERYTHING was lined directly at someone), and lost to Verlander starting 6-15 .. skipped Ohtani). It's driving me up a tree.

Showdown is basically a dice roll. You can consistently square up balls —which is very easy to do on the difficulty given and it’s just out after out after out.
Which imo is not right especially when you are charging ppl to enter.
Look. This is a video game. You can’t say
You need to do A B and C for input and when you do. WE DECIDE if we will ALLOW you to be successful based on algorithms.
That is not a game. That’s a gamble.
I get every once in a while good contact goes to the defense but I mean...you are asking ppl to come back from a 15-0 deficit and then you are perfect perfect good good good squared outing them for 75% of the inputs. It’s just silly.
Get gud

That’s rough. Still, it’s not scripted. What you posted was just a flaw in the game which we’ve seen in past years. Git gud.

Yeah it was brutal lol. These flaws at just the right time have me calling bs though.

I’ve completed about 40 or so showdowns at about an 85% success rate. Maybe you’re the dice roll...

Gotta disagree if you have any eyes at all and can take pitches and put your PCI on the ball mot 4 inches below it or over it showdown isn’t hard at all.

I've lost 2 showdowns all year, I must be playing a different game
You are one of the best players out there and even you lost twice. That tells me a lot.

I think the AL East is a little tough because you face some tough lefties (Snell, Sale, Chapman) throughout the run, with a right handed boss. Sale is the toughest part of it in my opinion. But it’s all doable with patience. Sometimes you get unlucky but not so unlucky it will ruin a run.
Also had a little difficulty with the AL West but that was when I first started doing it and didn’t know how to draft effectively.
Otherwise I have swept through all of the other ones I’ve tried. Usually only failing 1 or two blue missions on the way.

That’s skipping to the final boss down 15-0, since the change to scoring in the missions I’ve failed one and that was 100% on me for doing something stupid
