I have a great TA4 streak going for me… haven’t failed a moment or showdown and beat the orioles game 1 then beat the Braves. I know this is all luck tho
You guys will beat these conquests i promise. i have found it helps me to take a break at some point and reset my mind. -
I am just waking up and decided to check this, wow, didn't expect all the positive responses. Thank you for the positive feedback, truly.
I currently moved on to the conquests. I need a break from these showdowns. I'm not exaggerating my frustration with these showdowns. Feeling frustrated to the point of feeling worthless, stupid, and severe depression isn't healthy. I hate these things, but it's nice to see I'm not alone. I've had a really hard life. SA as a kid, was homeless multiple times, On and on I could go but my point is simply I play for fun not to be challenged or do hard content. Everything in life has been miserable and hard for the most part, games never should be. Showdowns are too hard. Hard = no fun. There is no way it's the same difficulty as VS CPU. It feels 10 times harder. I can count on one hand for example how many times the CPU has robbed me of a HR in VS CPU games this entire year and have fingers left over. The CPU robbed me of 3 HR last night, just in this showdown. Veteran difficulty in VS CPU games should be the same difficulty you face in conquest and showdowns and it's not. SDS has forgotten players like me this year, I hope that changes soon. Anyway, Maybe there is a balance somewhere cause I spent all my stubs to buy a 75,000 stub pack and pulled Trout from the Chase pack. Think I'm going to play some of the conquests with him. I will let everyone know when I give the showdowns another try. Thanks again for the kind words.

Here are some tips as it seems you can make it to Bautista.
Once you get there. Lock your PCI in the upper part of the zone and hunt fastballs ( thrown majority of time, especially with bases empty). He gives up lots of homers and will leave them upper part of zone, middle or up and in . When a guy gets on first is when you need to be careful of the splitter and slider down for double play ground balls
For Mariano, I set up down and in as he seems to throw is cutter repeatedly in that area.
For the East Showdown in general, I would recommend loading up on left hand bats first, then switch hitters. Only lefty before the final boss ( which is the easiest of them all) is Alvarado, so pick all the lefty bats that kill righties
Hope this helps, my friend.

I think it would be cool that in addition to earning a player and a perk for beating a pitcher in the Showdown, you can earn additional outs or a retry of any pitcher.

Hang in there. Things can turnaround quickly.
Friday night I lost 6 in a row, got mad and decided to do the conquests instead.
Started up showdowns again Sunday morning and won all 3 on my first try. -
I did them all with relative ease, I always skip the guy right before the final showdown because the outs limit seems risky.

Ok, I have to give credit where credit is due.
Thanks @Blind_Bleeder and @BxnnyMxn__PSN !!
I gave the Moonshot showdown a try. Very straightforward. I got just about all of them with 10+ outs to go. I think only one was under 10.
Lots of homers. Lots of double plays on demand and atom balls, but…..
I GOT ER DONE!!

You certainly did! Heck you did better than me and I thought I cruised thru it! I’d be just fine if they all played just like that one did. Now we gotta get the other fella to give it a try. Proud of ya man WTG and git r dun

Showdowns have been nerfed pretty hard in 23. If you cant complete these, I cant image trying to play online. I'm a .500 player online, but I breeze through showdowns pretty easy.

Classy comment with a humble brag to boot. Very helpful for the OP.

Im stuck on this one too. Completed the other 2 easily.
Just lost to Babe Ruth on the 3rd try. Scored one run. One.
Foul ball? No. We will just make a pop up.
Fly ball? No problem. We will just let it die or go straight to a fielder.
PP? No problem. You will ground you into 4 double plays.
The best one was on my 2nd try. Runner on 1st and 2nd. A line drive which the first baseman flew like superman tl his left. Caught it and landed on the bag. Double play.
I’m not doing it again.
I’ll let it accrue naturally. I’ve only got 30-40% left on four divisions. It’ll get done next week
But seriously. That was absurd. It seems scripted.

I didn’t read the entire thread, but the best way to beat relievers in showdown is to take as many pitches as possible the first time through the lineup. Try to work a few walks and foul two strike pitches off as much as you can. By the time you get to the later outs Felix will be gassed and whatever you touch will fly.
-
Yeah I didn't read this thread at all. The best way to beat showdown is to start one and then press X strategically until you complete it.

I skipped Mariano...too risky with only 8 outs and down 2 runs

While that usually is the trick I had Felix completely out of energy and he was still throwing 102 mph fastballs and dotting the corner with 87mph splitters. The best advice I've seen for Felix was the guy who said set PCI high and sit on the fast ball.
