    When most of the good swings are outs? Even had 2 extra great swings that counted as “good/okay” even though they were dead middle and not a later side of good. They don’t seriously play test the game.

    Yep… you still need to get lucky no matter how “eAsY SOmEOnE BeAt iT”…good swings don’t equal good results and sometimes the variance just kills the fun. It’s like opening 200 packs in a row without a Diamond. It’s very possible, even somewhat likely, but annoying.

    The future star player that won’t amount to anything but is better than Nolan Ryan “no hit” me. I haven’t been “no hit” online since MLB 17 lmao.

    The majority of people aren't supposed to be able to beat Extreme. That's why they called it "Extreme".

    What I’m saying is why don’t they reward you for your skill in a mode that requires skill?

    This is really helpful. I beat it when I started taking pitches and working counts. I literally beat it when I didn’t try hard.

    I got the closest I've come to beating it yesterday. I skip Nolan because I just cannot hit him at all so it's useless to try. Go to Randy, started down 9. Cut it to 25-21 with 14 outs left and he had just the smallest little bar of confidence left. My next hit came with 1 out left and by that time he had a full bar of confidence again. I swear he was wild as could be til I got his confidence low then he started to dot everything. I struck out looking multiple times on balls that couldn't have been anymore perfectly thrown. I think today is my day though.

    I got bases loaded vs Nolan last night only making 1 out. Next batter lined to third where the cpu was oddly shifted into a "guard the lines" and doubled off the runner at third who froze and didn't go back with no lead. After that I hit 2 more line drives right infielders and then grounded into a DP. Loaded the bases again and Nolan goes from wild to dotting sinkers. Scored no runs. Other time I made it to him I scored 2 and loaded the bases with 5 outs and couldn't get a run in 😞

    This is really helpful. I beat it when I started taking pitches and working counts. I literally beat it when I didn’t try hard.

    I legit failed vs Grenkie a few times and Helsley a couple and the last time I failed vs Helsley I looked and I only saw something like 13 pitches for the entire showdown.

    On the next run I decided to slow it down and just take as many pitches as possible and wasn't afraid to strike out looking once in a while, especially if i had a guy on 1st so I could avoid the double play and was able to beat it on that run.

    Honestly once you get past Hensley it’s all about taking pitches. Chapman, Nolan and randy are all wild. It’s not fun but take the 2 strike approach, build up the pitch count and take walks . Chapman walked the bases loaded and I hit a granny. Nolan I chipped away and tied it, bases load and I hit a sac fly. Randy same thing, patience and key hits .

    I mean that’s why Events suck a majority of the people you face have the entire program complete to slot in next to their to their p5 Brett and Cutch.

    Has anyone seen this?
    This is borderline incredible.
    They beat Randy with about 90% bunting!

    I don't even touch the controller until I have 2 strikes, then I contact swing. They walk every other batter

    That’s how I beat him. I think I may have gotten one weak seeing eye single with bases loaded, but otherwise all other hits and RBI came from drag bunts and sac bunts.
