The Kerry Wood 20K one.
It's 0-0, going into extras. Had 0 stamina but still had to pitch. Just needed 1 more K, but with no stamina I had to nibble. Gave up 1 run, but Yordan hit a ground out for the final out. They won 1-0. Sucks to lose it like that!Fastball, slurve,12-6 at all times, pound the fastball
Gotcha. Thanks.
Right after, I get the Delgado one on 4 pitches!! The last hit in the 7th inning. 3 straight homers after about 25 tries, lol.

2nd attempt 6 pitches to K 1st 2 then Bregman fouls off 8 pitches.
3rd attempt cakewalk.
early- FB FB breaking mixed with FB break high FB in the 4th any pitch any part of zone
was about 55% FB, mixing that many curve slurve and change prevented them from having any good swings -

Done with the moments, and just knocked out showdown
Going to attack conquest tomorrow and should get Wood to P4 or close to P4 after all those conquest games
I will say, showdown is a monster. First run, I failed on round 2. Somehow I just ran through all missions and beat Randy with 19 outs to go
Good luck on showdown
I like that though, vets still have a challenge and our new friends can still get this program done. I am leaning towards a W on this one from SDS. I think in the end its a perfect balance for right now with two new player bases.
I agree on giving SDS credit on this. I’m glad Extreme is back, I love the challenge as well
I hit my upvote limit lol but I agree, so glad it’s back and I think its the right balance to get the new players hooked on it too.
Although challenging, definitely a breath of fresh air that this game needed
Absolutely!, my only gripe about this program is that conquest isn’t against all time teams like the old timers/Ruth program, but at the same time I understand why they didn’t do that.
Have you done conquest yet? Wonder about how long that takes
I haven’t, but from what @PAinPA_PSN has said you can’t restart, though from what I read from him as well is most is played on All Star
Conquest is time consuming but definitely the easiest Conquest Extreme they’ve put out. I have 3 strongholds left to complete the map and with the strategy I used I did not play above Veteran for any games.

I breezed through the moments, not difficult at all but not as easy as I thought initially. Showdown seems like the real challeng.
I lost twice to Helsley (there’s something about his delivery that throws me off and I am always late) I will have to do BP against him to time him. The third time Chapman beat me because of my own mental error. I’ll get back to it tomorrow and then conquest on Sunday to relax.

I got lucky first time facing Chapman, he threw a fastball literally down the middle and took one swing
Against Ryan, the gold Kirk Gibson hit a huge 2 run homer with about 8 outs I believe. Then I got a man on, bunted twice lol and got him in
If you can go into facing Randy with all 21 runs, it’s not that bad
-
I’m wondering what is easier. Skip Ryan and need to get 10 against Randy with 25 outs, or hope to meet Ryan and then Randy is not that bad.
Now I have lost to Chapman both times so far.
-
The Conquest vs All Time Teams Would be very cool.
-
A little over casual player here and from reading all your comments it’s giving me motivation to get it done. Almost done with the Kraken conquest so moments will come next. Then some showdown. Wish me luck hope to be one of the few to get the cards earlier rather than later.

This Extreme Breaks down like this is in my opinion.
Conquest/P5 Wood- a monkey can do them but big time commitment /grind.
Moments- average player with determination can beat these, some luck goes a long way.
Showdown- much tougher than last one. Will take skill, determination and some luck.

This is a great breakdown. I was thinking of doing enough moments to get Wood and then use him to get get the Finest Last Call PXP mission done. That would get some of the Extreme Missions and the Last Call out of the way. That may be a little much just to do the Finest Last Call, though. I already have a couple of Finest pitchers I can use for it, but I thought being able to eliminate two missions at once would be nice.

I did 5 moments then took Wood into the Extreme
Conquest. He hit P4 as I finished it. Now I need to do the next 5 moments and then run Wood thru the USA conquest map for about 20 games.Bummer is you can’t get Cano until you beat the showdown ( I am 0-2 so far) or do everything else and repeat the 25k xp which takes some
Time. I am hoping to beat the showdown by end of weekend. -

Honestly I have the Jackie Robinson card at 2nd and Ron Santo at 3rd. Both great hitter and fielders I don’t think I need Cano and Donaldson that badly.
-
Not saying I won’t try to get them. I just won’t stress it as much.

i just finished up all of the main goals in the extreme conquest - it was super easy - no stress whatsoever mate
-
The finest cards are underwhelming IMO
-
I did all the turn based goals and then took over the map. Will play all the remaining games on veteran/rookie now and the will try to finally beat the showdown.

The Kerry Wood 20K one.
It's 0-0, going into extras. Had 0 stamina but still had to pitch. Just needed 1 more K, but with no stamina I had to nibble. Gave up 1 run, but Yordan hit a ground out for the final out. They won 1-0. Sucks to lose it like that!Fastball, slurve,12-6 at all times, pound the fastball
Gotcha. Thanks.
Right after, I get the Delgado one on 4 pitches!! The last hit in the 7th inning. 3 straight homers after about 25 tries, lol.
https://youtu.be/ZUtFcd98lQAIt’s crazy how it can be different for others. I took my first try at the moments today. Finished Griffey on first try, Wood on second. I got the 3 straight homers after a few tries.
But this Delgado one, it’s taking way too long. I can’t get anything decent to hit. 4-pitch walks without anything close, it’s ridiculous. I know pitching in moments is absurd, but this takes it to another level. I don’t hardly get anything to hit. Yeah, Delgado hit 4 HRs in a game, but I guarantee the pitching wasn’t like this. I’ve come within one a few times, got thrown out at second on a ball off the wall where I would have completed it if I was safe. Way too many warning track balls. Way too often where it looks like I’ve hit it nearly perfect and it’s a harmless fly out, not much exit velocity on some of these good swings.

Just got wood in about an hour and a half. 40 minutes of it was the Cole moment though. Did Griffey, Wood, Pujols, and somehow Delgado all in one try. Imo this being easier than 20s is overblown imo. The showdown is harder, conquest just takes time. It's basically the same thing minus the 2 moments that actually made 20 hard imo
CQ I have finished all the turn mission and stealing fans and highest level I had to play on was AS, Now I can play the rest of the game on RS if I choose to, If done right you do not have to restart at all. I only lost 1 game because I was super tired.
