    Honestly, if we could all just swallow our pride and set our hitting to Directional for Showdowns when we're struggling, we'd all get these done much quicker.

    I started this Showdown off on Zone, failed the first two missions, went to Directional and then only failed one mission the rest of the way (and I was so close to getting it). All I do is just try to pull everything and it seems to make these so much easier. That said, if you can do it on Zone, by all means... don't degrade yourself with that Directional stink.

    Was down 10-15, fought and tied it. Had the winning run on third with 3 outs left and couldn’t get him in 😞

    I use directional bc that’s what was used in MVP baseball 2004 and I’ve used it ever since. Never bothered switching. It’s still very tough to hit with directional.

    I went in 8-16 and won w 7 outs left - the key is to get his stamina down; I didn’t take to two strikes but I was extremely disciplined and sat high fb or cutter only. Once you get to 30 pitches he’s yellow and then red very fast. At that point he is batting practice throwing meatballs and it’s on veteran. You have to be patient and put together good at bats but it’s not hard at all unless you psych yourself out and press too hard

    That’s strange?? I was watching his energy consistently and he went out at 65 pitches. It was yellow around 40 for me

    He yellowed at exactly 33 for me, and was red around 50? I didn’t pay as close attention to count on red. He was completely gassed shortly after going red though.

    That’s so weird that we got different totals.

    Was hella easy. He basically pitches to one spot and tires easy.

    If you having a hard time. I suggest RBI baseball

    Is rbi baseball where you picked up your directional skillzzz? Idk how it works over there .. I’ve never played the game.

    I use zone, badly but still use it because it’s the superior input

    Only use directional for home run moments

    Nice try on trying to be witty. Maybe next time actually read and comprehend a thread? ( directional thread )

    Never did I say I use directional as my main input. Don’t think I even said I used it all ( which I do on occasion)

    Reading is your friend. I hear you don’t need to read in RBI baseball, maybe you should try it ?

    Think me & my reading comprehension will be alright regardless, but uhhh .. maybe that winning percentage would look better if ya did make the transition to rbi baseball .. what you’re doing on MLBTS, clearly isn’t working whatsoever for all that time you’re putting in.

    Really? Win percent ? Are you really trying to e-peen this conversation. Geez man , how old are you.

    FYI I play online for stat grind and fir fun. So yeah epeen all you want if that is all you have left in life.

    On this current run for me, Rivera hit half stamina at 31 pitches, he hit red at 52, and he’s about to empty at 63-65

    “E-peen” lol. Is that not essentially exactly what you did by suggesting rbi baseball & commenting on OP explaining having a difficult time with the showdown? Try again, I suppose...

    Beat it 1st time. Only failed 1st moment, vs Mariano... on Rookie.. lol.

    But in my opinion i am finally hitting the best i have all year long, i switched from SZ camera 3 to 2 and i now hit so much more consistently, both H2H and vs CPU.

    Went in down 15-7 and didn’t expect anything and won. You have to just wait wait wait and wait. Can’t say it enough. Get him over 50-60 pitches then go to work

    Started with 9 runs, lead off with solo shot, singles, walk, Matt Olson grand slam, 15-14 20 outs to go. Beat with ease

    I’m not very good at showdown, but I hit much better opposite handed hitting so take lefties, and don’t swing until 2 strikes.

    I failed twice. Once because of network error, and I’m tired of getting those! The other time I hit no less than 6 warning track shots and several line outs too.... just frustrating. It doesn’t seem hard, just got screwed by the server and bad luck

    Can we just stop the rbi baseball comments? Or is it a running joke I’m missing?
