What happened to the Stage 1 Showdowns?

SDS

After getting used to how the CPU pitched; I could run though the mini missions with my eyes closed and even get past the first mini boss with extra outs left.

But now, no matter which division I play, I CAN'T buy a hit.

Power hitters either flying out or dribbling hits to the infielders. Or CPU controlled players are making highlight reel plays.

Heck, I just had Lightning Eric Thames, who has 120+ power hit a Perfect/Perfect shot where a Bronze CF robbed him of a homerun.

Some of it is the CPU being the CPU. But it's probably just because stage 2 is super easy. it's harder to adjust.

Also, I send my condolences for you because you are a pirates fan

That's the strange part; I haven't even started Stage 2.

Don't know who's taken more of a beating: Pirates' fans or Cleveland Browns' fans.
