You'll get used to it and they will get easier. Last year was a nightmare.

If this is on veteran im black... They throw maybe 30% strikes and the strikes they do throw are inside fastballs that are incredibly hard to hit... You also hit a ton of warning track shots with people like joey gallo with 110 power. I don't care that its hard but labeling it as "Veteran" is absurd when the CPU is the best player to touch the sticks ever
mate this is super easy - beyond easy this year - last year was 100X tougher
i have yet to fail a showdown, its easy stubs, its super chill, its on [censored] veteran - there is just no way to lose if you focus
-
Showdown requires patience and plate discipline. Others are correct about the difficulty. This one is fairly easy compared to some of the showdowns from last year.

I don’t think that’s entirely true. I had Lou last year and never made WS
-
I'm sorry but these are pretty easy comparatively. Like others have said, last year was much harder until they nerfed them down.

You do know Ryan is by far the all time leader in walks, right?

yeah i mean i'm not going to argue with you over something so stupid - conquest extreme / going to WS / getting a flawless BR = all in the top levels of playing in this game

Don't fret, last year with 125 power Trout and Tatis, with perfect perfect flyball hits, I had multiple warning track shots. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Well it’s just not accurate anymore. When conquest Extreme was still conquest extreme sure, but you could restart infinite times last year and the moments are playable till you compete them. It used to be a 20 hour grind that you could need to restart, not just click “restart” and keep all progress.

yeah i never had to restart anything - [censored] was hard last year - that kenley jensen mission was super tough from what i remember

This year is so much easier. I’m on run #6 today, haven’t failed one yet. Be picky of what you swing at.

im afraid they are going to patch it lol
its been a breeze so far - trying to get as many 42's done before it gets tougher

Showdown was an absolute joke last year and nothing has changed this year. The mode is designed to take your stubs and waste your time. Your team can mash all the way to the final showdown and then they just hit lame pop ups even you you square up and your timing is perfect.

First time?

This thread is making me feel better about my game. I didn’t think I was all that good (usually get to the low 800’s in RS once a year or something), but I’m rolling through these Showdowns. Stumbled my first 2 efforts, but I’ve won like 10 in a row since, all relatively easily. It’s pretty easy to get at least 8 runs heading into the final boss, some of which are basically given to you (like “don’t give up a hit”).
