Stage 3 showdown it the easiest of the 3. You can try out the new cards in showdown stage 3 it’s fun and easy! And the stubs are great!
Idk about that stage 2 still feels like the easiest one . In this one stage 3 you actually got some pretty good diamond pitchers you gotta face . In the central I been doing it and and have completed it a few times . But I did just fail one had to face diamond dibble 99 Casey mize and end boss new Kerry wood , I find myself having to lock in there’s a few extra base hit missions and if you fail too many of the early missions good luck with the end boss . which is why I failed my last run too big of a uphill battle with wood painting them corners with his 100 mph fastball having to score 9 runs lol.
I agree, I think stage 2 was a bit easier.
That being said, I wouldn't really say Stage 3 is hard, it's just somewhere in between stage 1 and stage 2I agree with you here. Stage 3 isn’t necessarily hard, you just have to face much better pitchers. That being said you get better hitters as well so stage 1 is still the hardest

Honestly, I think I’m an average player. After losing the first 3 games (work from home distractions) I went through the SD and was down 15-4 at the start. I wound up losing 15-11, most of my runs were scored with less than 8 outs remaining. I’ll knock it out tonight. You can do it.

The definitely needed exit velocity. I just started my first one and have lost several blue missions bc o rearming track shots with bombers and lining out over and over. They must have made hr/9 count and that’s bullshat

The mini moments are just tedious. Wish there was a way to skip individual moments.

Well, just finished and lost 15-12 from being down 15-6...... I hit 8 warning track shots with “good” contact even though half should have been perfect perfect. This wasn’t with 50 power guys, this was mcgriff, Giambi, torres, Dawson, and stanton..... wt actually f

I just failed my 5th and final Stage 3 Showdown
I returned to the game after a month of absence to see the new Affinity content
Well Stage 3 Showdown makes Stage 1 look like Stage 2
It's beyond brutal
Mini moments are are roll of the dice and mini bosses are insane
This was done on purpose
By making Stage 3 cards sellable that made sure very small number of players can beat the Stage 3 Showdown thus giving incentive to buy stubs to get the players
Exit velos have been nerfed into oblivion with under 100mph exit velos on perfect hits being the norm
Worst part I can't enjoy my favorite mode because it's brutal right now
And there is no way it's on regural Veteran
I just scored 14 runs on Legend in my Franchise don't tell me I can't score 2 runs on Veteran
They just have to do shady stuff
Shame I thought I might come back to the game for Stage 3 but no way I will now.
Watch this video. It helped me out a lot. I use to fail showdowns all the time, but after watching this I probably complete most of the showdowns now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_keUSfEqWr4That was an awesome video thanks for sharing, If I can be that patience and read pitches with 2 strikes I will be able to beat showdown. I get so close. This will differently help

Another thing I am noticing is there’s a lot of out limit missions so you can’t play the waiting game as long as the game is tied and you don’t let the cpu score mostly in the 2 run reward missions . You either get it done quickly and have it offensively or fail because of not being able to get a extra base hits and run out of all your outs . With how good most of these outfielders are it really be feeling like home run or bust at times. Everything evens out yes you get better cards to draft but you also face way better pitchers diamonds with nasty stuff . Also have diamond fielders that make willy Mays look like a amateur defensively, I notice it says veteran difficulty for most these missions but it feels more like veteran with some sliders tweaked , squaring up a lot of balls that maybe should be [censored] missiles with guys with 80+ power that are dying at the track .

If you cannot do it that is a you problem. With the number of Diamonds and Golds they give you in stage 3 as opposed to every other showdown there is no excuse, not to complete it. In every other showdown you get like 1 Diamond 1 gold and are left to hope you get the good silvers and bronzes so that you can complete the moments to replace them. Everything is on veteran. Yes, it is hard if you treat it like rookie or online and swing at everything because you assume it is a strike. I played veteran franchise until a year ago and that is exactly what showdown feels like. You just need to be patient and get good pitches to hit. Let them walk you, fill your bench with 2 power bats and 3 speed guys who can hit decently to pinch run so a single up the middle scores a run from second or a double scores a run from 1st, or so that you guarantee you are safe when you tag up(I had this happen to me before, I had a guy with 50 speed tag from 3rd when it was 15-15 and he got thrown out at the plate but if I had replaced him with a pinch runner I would have scored.. I used to never finish showdown but that was on me for swinging at bad pitches.
