How are people still complaining about showdown? I’ve gone 6/6 on stage 2 in the past 2 days going from 0-15. I get it that’s not going to be everybody’s experience but every single mission is on veteran, it’s so incredibly easy guys c’mon now.
Shh dude you will get 95% of this forum angry saying that

They are probably playing on tvs. I can attest playing vs 100 mph+ That you can’t see is a lot different game. And believe it or not, when I was going through it my friends on monitor telling me they could beat it easy was not really helpful.

How is it people cant understand that not everyone can hit in this game?
If you are a RS guy and you have a monitor, you are not the regular gamer. SDS should not be making the game for you. You guys use a monitor to get advantage on your opponent in RS, that is fine whatever. The rest of us who play on TVs are just not good enough to dominate hitting like you are. And then you get all pissy when we complain that we still cant hit. You have any idea how that sounds.
Until moments last year, offline people rarely had to do anything harder than rookie, yes you had your occasional beat team x on all star, but really they didnt need to play the computer on any particular difficulty. Moments locked you into a difficulty, but you have endless free opportunities to do it, good players with monitors get through these with no problems, but the rest of us have to play them over and over until we beat them.
Now you get Showdown, locked into a difficulty and no chance to redo them without starting over and losing stubs. Yes I can beat the CPU on Veteran way more than 95% of the time, but that is both hitting and pitching, sometimes I can score 20 other times I score 2 or get shut out. I can beat the computer on AS, probably 85% of the time, but hitting at any level is not something I can do consistently, even playing this game almost exclusively for the last 3 years.
I just can not put the pci on the ball and have enough time to swing unless my PCI is already in the spot the ball is going to be. No amount of git gud is going to fix that, if it could I would have already. I haven't this year, but on 17 and 18 I could beat the CPU on legend. Again that is a full game where I can out pitch the CPU and get enough mistakes from CPU to score runs. Again see where I am going, I dont care the difficulty, I can not hit consistently enough to beat Showdown regularly. In fact I have more success beating final boss on AS, but that is because I have more outs, regardless of how many runs I needs, I usually need 8 or 9, because that 2nd boss is more likely to beat me, because 10 outs isnt enough.
Again I have not played stage 2 Showdown, because I am still so far behind on stage 1, because I fail 9 times out of 10. But when I keep failing the first boss that is on Veteran, I can't see how I am am just going to all of a sudden start winning these all the time. I dunno maybe, but the reason I have beaten the ones I have is the final boss is usually wild and beats itself. Something the CPU doesn't do on Veteran.
I wished they would add more ways to get points for stage 1, 5 points hor 250 innings, is a longer grind than MTO. Or what I would have preferred is stat missions to be repeatable. That is probably the biggest mistake. Because of that its MTO or Showdown to get TA points.

I’m not that good but I’m okay especially since I switched to a monitor.
If y’all losing the new showdowns 9 out of 10 times than y’all need to find a new focal point for picking up pitches because whatever your doing isn’t working.
That is just it, we shouldn't have to be going out and buying monitors to play a game. I understand the RS guys wanting to get an edge, but this is ridiculous.
I do agree with that for sure. And I want to play on my 70 inch tv not my 27 inch monitor. But this game has to be played on a monitor. There’s no way around that. If I didn’t switch I would have quit this game already.
Wrong. I play on my 65" LG LED 4k TV that cost $700 at Target. I'm in the Championship Series right now (826) and have been absolutely crushing the ball.
Mr Miyagi will tell you Daniel Son, it is in your head, your mentality.

What a POS this game has become, losing BR games because fielders booting multiple balls in 1 inning with 2 outs. Strike 3 but no its a ball, then grandslam on impossible pitch. Get this [censored] [censored] catch up code out of the game. Fix your Game!

For sure. I went from 3 wins out of 25 to winning 99% of showdowns not because I switched to a monitor and went from late on every fastball to very early but because of something in my head. Great post man.

Monitors provide a boost, for sure there's no input lag.
But if you think you can't pay on a TV, that's where i say you are 100% wrong. Just flat out not true. Maybe you need to adjust your settings, but i play on my 65" LG that cost $700 and it was 10ms delay and i rip just fine, CS 826 right now.
You need to put your TV in game mode, shut off any HDR or upscaling or color effects it does, and flip your PS4 resolution from Auto or 1080p to 1080i.

Ahh I see. So you do everything possible in settings to make your TV emulate a monitor. So you don’t need a monitor, just a tv that has settings to make it very similar. You got me.
When discussing monitors on here a lot of guys remind me of youtubers from other sports games that spend $10k on packs then tell everybody how easy it is to be no money spent lol.
It’s all good. I would still tell anybody struggling with showdowns to get a monitor at 5 MS or lower or check their tv settings to see if they can reduce it to that or close to that. It’ll go a lot farther quicker than any practice.

Now that im beating showdown constantly, usually going in w at least 7 or more runs in the Final i don't hate it. The only gripe I have is the amount of DP's I hit into, its disturbing

Right, you adjust TV settings to lower input lag. No need for a monitor. You can play on your big screen TV just fine.
Also, I don't buy packs, I go for free cards and use my earned stubs on upgrades, not packs. I still have a gold player at 2B, a gold SP, 3 golds and a silver in my bullpen.
You literally just need to adjust your TV settings for better game play... Much like you adjust settings for playing a movie or watching football.

I came close to making CS on 17 with my TV.

@Riican_2 said in Sds and showdown is a joke:
I truly don’t get how people struggle with it so much
I do: they play it like play vs cpu and probably have no patience at the plate. It’s not that hard, but it can be lost sometimes due to bs but most of the time I win. If I lose it’s because I screw up 9/10 times. In the division based one you have little margin of error on the middle boss and it can get you. When I lose it’s normally to the second boss so I sometimes I skip it if I have 8-9 runs at that point.

Plenty of patience here, which works great on final boss that is on AS, but CPU throws a lot more strikes on Veteran, and sadly they aren't always meat balls.

Yeah exactly why I skip the second boss on the Stage one missions. Flaherty and ohtani put balls on the black over and over and over
