    I will not even attempt it either. Waste of time and I don't need the frustration of Showdown.

    I gave it a couple tries but it’s freakin hard man….mind you getting to Randy at the minimum is an hour plus….I’d really love to rip with Kerry and Chapman but it’s just not worth the time

    Extreme is supposed to be difficult. Adjust your expectations.

    Conquest Extreme was easy. But I know better than to bother with showdown or moments.

    I don't think it's expectations as much as it's time, at least for me. I'm terrible at showdowns anyway and I just don't have the time (or enough alcohol) to grind all the way to the end boss just to lose and want to throw stuff. I've just resigned myself to the fact that anything tied to showdowns I'm just not getting the reward. But more power to those that can, I tip my hat to you good people.

    I'm not proud how I beat the showdown but got lucky with Al Kaline being in my draft after chapman and then down by 10 I managed to score 5 runs just from walks and HBPs. I think Kaline was the only player I got a hit with

    That’s a tough break that has become all too common in this game and will become crystal clear in this extreme program for those that had any previous doubt. A challenge is fine with most of us but most players lack the skill to overcome the odds of a stacked deck, myself included.

    The thing I have noticed most from Extreme is that swings are still WAY WAY WAYYYYY too important.

    The 3 HR mission is laughable. If I could use only Bryce Harper I could do it 70% of the time. I started with a homerun something like 15/20 times from him but Ruth, Ortiz, Brett, and crew could hardly get there own. I think it was 6/6 or 6/7 Harper hit for me at the start. Eventually i smartened up and put Glitchy HRD Seager in my lineup and finished it pretty easy after that.

    You’re correct though, good players can overcome the nonsense, not everybody swings nearly perfect so when they DO…they SHOULD get rewarded point black.

    I got Chapman today and haven’t touched Showdown. Just do enough Moments to get Kerry Wood and then do Conquest Extreme. It’s easy (got the 5 strongholds on only 3 Turns so 5 is easy) and by the time you’re done you’ll have Wood to P4 which then gets you Chapman.

    No one is expecting it to be easy. The problem is the rubbish hitting engine!!! I got to Chapman and absolutely squared up with 4 of the 7 outs. 1 was a foul ball, I don't know how, 2 were robber at the fence (of course!) and one was a freaking pop up to the catcher!!! Not early, not super under the ball, the game just decided why not, let's give the catcher a go.

    I have finished all other parts of the Extreme Program but Showdown, and now I will not be able to get Donaldson as there is no way in hell I am going to waste hours away from my wife and kids so the game can randomly decide when I fail!

    I have always defended this game but this is the by far the worst Show I have played in terms of gameplay! It's basically a card collecting game!

    I actually failed against Grienkie a couple times and Helsley once, before I finally decided to start taking pitches.

    Got Randy up to around 150 pitches, think I had more walks than hits. Did get a little worried though, was 25-25, 7 outs, bases loaded, and hit a liner to 3rd and he caught it and dove back to 3rd to double off my runner. Thought I was gonna get Show'd, but I stayed patient and worked another walk and eventually hit a single with 2 outs left

    I beat that moment with homers from Harper and Seager, then Jram got HBP and Pete Alonso hit my third homer. I agree, sweet swings help a lot.

    The fact pitchers can throw over 150 pitches and not lose any velocity while still dotting the zone is absurd. It would be nice if fatigue was properly programmed instead of confidence being overpowered. When a pitcher gets tired they should lose velocity, movement, and become more prone to hanging pitches. In this game if they have confidence they can throw unlimited pitches and still dot you up with 100 mph sinkers with insane movement at pitch number 200.

    You'll get Donaldson....it'll just take a while but slowly you'll accrue the xp towards the repeatable
    Mission and finish the program just by playing the game.

    Got to Randy again and tried to drive the pitch count up, but he was way more accurate this time around. Had a few good in PCI well timed [censored], but I did not get rewarded on any of them. The game has a huge advantage over players due to the fact that the game knows where your PCI is at. With Randy's velocity and delivery you kind of have to pick a zone and hope it goes there until you get two strikes. Last game I kind of was killing it until bases loaded with 11 outs and as I said, I lost it.

    This time around I made it 24-25 with something like 13 outs to go, but I don't think I had a baserunner the rest of the way. Again, this is with Randy's energy in the yellow. His confidence just recovers so quickly and minimizes that PCI size. It takes so long to get to him and beating Chapman and Ryan always comes down to their control for me. If I have to get to Randy by doing all of these moments every time just to see what control he has that game, I am going to just wait out the XP. For the moments to be as easy as they were and conquest to be as easy as it was, I don't like Conquest being the road block. I wish they would have made all 3 modes really difficult and required that two of the three be beat.

    So PXP for me is gained about 1M a month. I will only need 12 points to finish the program at 25k every 3 points that is about a month for me. If I have to pick between Randy Johnson on HOF or a 4 week wait for Donaldson, I pick the wait. I can get Cano my very next 25k as well. I like hard and this isn't a full complaint thread even though my first go at Johnson was ridiculously bad luck. 11 outs for one base and failed.

    Do you mean 100k pxp a month? 1M would be 33k a day which I don’t think is possible.
