    They really need to take the 500 stub cost out of those things.

    100%. No. 1,000,000,000,000,000% (I know that’s not a real thing, but it makes the point).

    It’s honestly the easiest showdown I’ve ever done…and I’m not a fan of showdown…only do them if I have to

    Well, this one is STILL giving me fits! Made it to Maddux the other day - then blew it. I gave up. But I'll try again later today. Still stuck at 78 points... 😕

    Just curious - Since Showdowns are essentially "Moments" based, do many of y'all hold up on Directional hitting, like for normal Moments when trying to hit dingers..? That def works for me on normal Moments, but I haven't tried that yet for this Showdown...

    I stick with zone. I don't recall this showdown being that difficult. What is the starting scenario with Maddux? Runners on and number of outs?

    I just really suck at Showdowns that bad. 😕

    I remember there was one earlier in the year that you had to do for a program and I do remember that one being pretty easy cuz I was like "Wow! I actually finished that in the first run!" But I can't remember which one it was...

    This Finest one - Ugh! If I remember correctly, with Maddux, you start out 0-0 and no runners on base. I was trying to hit dingers but he killed me with that darn Sinker! I may have gotten one guy on base at one point, but it was erased by a double play.

    Sigh... Can SDS lower the difficulty for me..? 😄 "Negative Rookie..?" Haha! 🙂

    I am guessing you are an old man like me (45) and it is a result of diminishing reflexes. My best suggestion is to pick perks that play to your strength and to load up on guys that will hit Maddux. If you have a problem with swinging early in the count then commit to not swinging until you have two strikes. Put the controller down until then. It really isn't that hard if you go into it with a plan. I struggle when I am in a hurry.

    45 is old? The things I could do if I was 45 again. But then again, back then, I was a slave to the system. Now I'm free to do whatever I want. So, maybe I'd rather not go back to being 45 again.

    I dunno, maybe it is the boozing, but I definitely have lost a step the last ten years.

    Wheeler gave me trouble, I was down to my last out. Gagne would have been bad if I had skipped to the final showdown, but you start 20-20 and only need 1 more run if you play them all.

    FINALLY!! 😄👍

    Finished! Using up on Directional hitting worked! Picked solid players and better perks and now it’s done!

    On to the next…

    You have to do the showdown

    Unfortunately, yes. I have everything done except that.

    Were you able to complete this, @beatlesnews? I, too, am struggling mightily with this dang Showdown. Ugh… I barely can get past Phillips and Dontrelle has shut me down 9 times straight. I despise having to do this to advance the program cuz I’m officially stuck. Anyone have any feasible tips..? I’m #NMS4Lyfe, but I’d pay someone $5 to get this dang Showdown done for me. Clang clang! 🤑

    No, not yet. Latest try I got past Evan Phillips but not Dontrelle Willis.

    I may have to switch to directional for this one.

    Well, I tried multiple times and so far no luck. I mean this is ridiculous. SDS, please give us a Christmas present and add a conquest or do something so we can get these cards.
