Can't beat Glavine....Showdown
-
Sorry, don't have any tips other than be patient at the plate, he threw a lot of pitches off the plate when I faced him. I was able to get through this Showdown the first try. Now the Future of the Franchise one, that took me at least 6 or 8 times to get past Jackson Jobe and beat it.

On my last out I hit a HR in a tie game with Castellanos to beat Glavine. He is pretty brutal.

Take pitches and get deep into the count. Showdown will ruin you if you are not patient.

I wish I could help, my approach this year has been to avoid showdowns, I've only played the ones tied to other programs, no need to do main program ones because of all the xp I get playing the game.
Like others have said be patient and wait for your pitch. This year regardless of difficulty, I have to wait for my pitch, sadly the more I play, the less often the CPU throws me the type of pitches I can handle. I am even getting walked on rookie and Veteran.

I found if you take a lot of pitches in Showdown they will eventually give you pitches right down the middle.

Thanks everyone. I did exactly what you all said, just focused on getting my pitch not worrying about the count, taking lots of pitches and got a cookie from Glavine to Mookie for a walkoff HR. Wilson was challenging too but Crawford and Goldy came through with RBI doubles. The best part.....it's over.
But I have to say as frustrating as it is, showdown can be fun. You didn't hear that from me.

I have actually had decent luck with showdown this year. I couldn't hit with goldie but Castellanos is a game saver. I think him and Crawford both hit game winning home runs on with a few outs remaining.

Agree, but this game sucks in the fact that you can swing at good first pitches and still pop up or dp. They shouldn't penalize you for swinging early if the pitch is a meatball.

I was a little shook going in because I never ever faced Glavine, and i failed twice vs. Hand.
I was able to crank one with Brandon Crawford lefty on lefty to beat him.

I’m actually stuck on the Future Stars Showdown. I kept getting beat by Jackson Jobe, but I finally beat him this morning and now I’m just procrastinating on beating the last 2 pitchers (Matt Brash & Reid Detmers). Lol.
