I just did it, went in 15-13, and lost. I got 3 hits, walked 3 times, and grounded into 3 dps. I only struck out twice and everything else I hit went right at someone.
Valenzuela didn’t go under 50% stamina till 80+ pitches so it’s obviously jacked up there. My last 3 outs were all 100+ exit velo right at someone and to top it off I had the tying run disappear off third base with 8 outs left, which moved the IF back which led to a dp. I always took till two strikes.
Just wonderful. I know some of it is me sucking but the amount of DPs you hit into in moments in general is really something that does not at all feel natural.
I do t think I’ll be trying it again.
dude its simple as waking up - just gotta be calm and focus, this year has never been easier - its on rookie or veteran settings.....
best of luck with it, ive probably done around 15 by now at least - 14/15 attempts (one time lost on the mid boss herrera lol)
ps. stack your perks with exit velocity boost and cram your big hitters doesnt matter if they are out of position on the field

I did the first inning showdown, first inning conquest, and like 8-9 of the team affinity showdowns all Saturday. If anything they should have more mini bosses like last year.
-
Do we get more xp towards inning program if we beat the showdown more then. Once or is it a one time deal.

I finally beat this on the 4th try, walk off HR. As I'm loading back in - server error. Didn't count the win, when I tried to resume it said I didn't finish the game so it counted as a loss.
Back to square one
Had the same thing happen.

I mean. You could always, I dunno, pinch run for your guy at third before he disappears. Just a thought.
Lol....do you understand how pitch running/hitting works?

I'm fairly certain he's under the age of 14. Just let him be. I tried discussing this with him, he lied, changed his posts, and called me names. Not worth it

So you understand if you pinch run for a guy it’s still the same batting spot and will disappear right?

You do realize that if you need EIGHT outs to advance a runner, you don't deserve that runner? Bunt, fly balls, steal, this isn't hard.

So who bats? It’s just an extra spot now in the lineup? If so no wonder this game glitches out every chance it gets.
Also does that mean I can pinch run for anybody at any time and my hitter will still be the same next time through?

Correct, he doesn't. Most of us don't need EIGHT outs to advance a runner to home. We don't know the mechanic, because we've never struggled that bad. In baseball, you get 3 outs to do it. I can't believe the crying LOL. At least it's no longer about servers here. You sir will be a legend talked about for years to come. Congrats.

It's on veteran difficulty my friend. And correct, most of us have not had this issue. Two fly balls gets the guy to third. This isn't complicated. If you need help, let me know. I'm always here to help.

Never occurred to me. My bad.
I guess I’d be bummed if that happened to me in a showdown, but I’ll be honest, it hasn’t.
As has been pointed out, I think the best approach here is to just hit the ball into the outfield at least once per eight batters.
-
Man these forums have some of the worst gatekeeping and "get good" kind of replies.
You shouldn't lose a runner just because you are struggling to hit. Sometimes you get unlucky. I've beaten these showdowns without making any outs, then other times for some reason just can't score that one last run in like 8 outs. If you are good enough at this game to do it easily every time good for you. That doesn't mean disappearing runners isn't a huge issue. Nobody should lose a challenge because a runner disappears no matter how many chances they had to score them. -
I think it’s funny that you seem to be calling me a gatekeeper.
Obviously it’s a huge issue. What do you propose as a solution? I tried to think of what would happen irl and couldn’t come up with anything.
I’ve lost my share of showdowns, and as I said, this disappearing runner thing hasn’t happened to me. I get frustrated when I lose too but I try not to just come on here to [censored] and moan about it, because usually if I lose, it’s because I didn’t hit well.
-
Same solution when you are kids playing at home and the person coming up to bat is on base because each team only has 4 guys. The guy who just made the last out replaces the runner.
