Anyone else struggling with the Showdown?

Usually I knock these out in one or two tries…I have been sitting here for 4 hours now & still not beaten it.
I managed to beat the Run it Back one but it was a close thing. One out left runner on third and Alejandro Kirk, at the bottom of my lineup managed to get a hit. I think it was against Tarik Skubal.

Load up on guys with power against lefties for Skubal and Valenzuela. Take exit velocity perks. Try to take 2 strikes every at bat.

I'm 6 for 6 so far, although a couple of them have came down to the last 2 outs
Why did you do it six times? Do you get the rewind pack every time? That’s crazy if you do. It took me like ten minutes to complete.
Yes you get the pack everytime. In fact thats the whole purpose of run it back
Why are the cards still 30K? Should be like 10K.
Because there aren't very many people that enjoy doing the same conquest or showdown more than once. It was the same deal last year
Also you need to stack your lineup with RIB players to do the stat missions in the program. Many people are just scooping them up off the market right now. After people complete the program by the end of the weekend the prices on the RIB cards will fall off a bit, probably stay between 15-20
I would argue that as more people complete the program prices will increase as fewer and fewer people do the showdown and conquest the cards will not be as in high circulation
I wish. There are too many people like myself that see an easy opportunity to make 30K stubs in 15 min that are bound to drive the price down.
I heard the same thing last year and it never happen

idk man, they are already down 10K from yesterday
That they are maybe I'm wrong on this one that said the market seems down overall today
I’m really hoping they stay over 20K, easiest way I’ve ever made quick stubs in the game

I only tried once, spur of the moment and beat it.
Skubal gave me some issues though -
Let me just strap Mr Showdown into Space-X, all comfy..good. Now just hit the ignition button and OFF ya go! Enjoy Mars ya [censored]!
Hate showdowns....but that's me. -
I did it finally after maybe 6 trys. I kept losing to the detriot pitcher and then to Fernando. So I delibarately picked no left hand bats as long as I could and barely finished.
-
I beat it the first time and thought this is so easy. Then failed the four tires after. Couple things I noticed. The perks you get are super random. If you get good perks you are set otherwise it is an uphill battle. My last loss I did not use the last elite perk because the choices were trash. Second, the best RIB cards are all lefties and the last two pitchers are lefties. Lastly, Skubal is not great put his fastball and slider are tough especially with our lefty heavy lineups. If you make it past Skubal then it is really hard to adjust to Fernandos low speed. His offspeed looks like a hanging meatball everytime and then it breaks into the dirt. Losing to him just makes me feel like a terrible player.

This is why I won't try a second time!
Finished the RIB Program, so I have every card..
I did well lefty on lefty with Jason Heyward being a beast.
Skubal was a little tough. I got a runner picked off second, but still beat him 5 outs remaining.
When I saw it was Fernando with less velocity, I just waited him out. -
I'm not complaining and actually like Showdown.
This one is tricky though only because ALL of the best Diamond hitters you can get hit righties better than lefties.
Even the best righties hit righties better (Encarnacion/Suarez).
Haven't tried Andrelton because his hitting stats are putrid.

The Severino showdown had me swearing like a sailor. It was difficult for me to see his pitches, which were way too freaking fast. I finally got a home run that won it for me.
I swear it was luck that got me past that one, and past Skubal and Valenzuela.
I think the problem is that most, if not all, of the good hitters you can draft are lefties. And Skubal and Valenzuela are both lefties. Severino? He's OP in that showdown and his confidence meter is on steroids.

It wasn't quite as easy last year. There were at least 6 conquest games that I remember and the Showdown wasnt as easy.. There are also more people playing with XBOX, adding to the number of cards on the market. These cards will continue to go down in price UNTIL more players are added to the pack like last year...that is what will make the first ten go back up in price a bit...problem is that by that time, everyone will have them all for collections.

The RIB map for this year is much better than last year's. The map has more territories and the teams aren't as frustrating to play against. For comparison:
2020: White Sox, Athletics, Yankees, Braves, Cubs, Padres.
2021: Marlins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Dodgers.This year is so much better in terms of completing the map
-
Thia showdown sucks, I get to the last one and cannot hit that last guy AT ALL. Even with all R handed batters, nope.
-
Take pitches. Fernando throws a lot of balls which will lead to walks and if not the fastball which is much easier to hit. Most of the slow stuff is low and out of the zone.
-
Not to be cocky but I don’t think it’s difficult at all. If you don’t like lefties vs Leftie matchup pick right handed batters. It’s on rookie I think so the pci will be big. Also try exit velocity perks. You’ll get it.
-
I did the showdown on my first attempt. However, I will say it was more difficult than the Sherzer showdown.
-
Sit fastball on Valenzuela.
-
Skubal annoyed me so much that I went out and bought him.
-
I have yet to get past Skubal after 6 attempts I had to walk away and go due the conquest map again
-
Easiest showdown I’ve ever done. 11/11 and then won the showdown with 2 ABs
