Extreme is supposed to be difficult. Adjust your expectations.
No one is expecting it to be easy. The problem is the rubbish hitting engine!!! I got to Chapman and absolutely squared up with 4 of the 7 outs. 1 was a foul ball, I don't know how, 2 were robber at the fence (of course!) and one was a freaking pop up to the catcher!!! Not early, not super under the ball, the game just decided why not, let's give the catcher a go.
I have finished all other parts of the Extreme Program but Showdown, and now I will not be able to get Donaldson as there is no way in hell I am goi png to waste hours away from my wife and kids so the game can randomly decide when I fail!
I have always defended this game but this is the by far the worst Show I have played in terms of gameplay! It's basically a card collecting game!
You'll get Donaldson....it'll just take a while but slowly you'll accrue the xp towards the repeatable
Mission and finish the program just by playing the game. -
Got to Randy again and tried to drive the pitch count up, but he was way more accurate this time around. Had a few good in PCI well timed balls, but I did not get rewarded on any of them. The game has a huge advantage over players due to the fact that the game knows where your PCI is at. With Randy's velocity and delivery you kind of have to pick a zone and hope it goes there until you get two strikes. Last game I kind of was killing it until bases loaded with 11 outs and as I said, I lost it.
This time around I made it 24-25 with something like 13 outs to go, but I don't think I had a baserunner the rest of the way. Again, this is with Randy's energy in the yellow. His confidence just recovers so quickly and minimizes that PCI size. It takes so long to get to him and beating Chapman and Ryan always comes down to their control for me. If I have to get to Randy by doing all of these moments every time just to see what control he has that game, I am going to just wait out the XP. For the moments to be as easy as they were and conquest to be as easy as it was, I don't like Conquest being the road block. I wish they would have made all 3 modes really difficult and required that two of the three be beat.
So PXP for me is gained about 1M a month. I will only need 12 points to finish the program at 25k every 3 points that is about a month for me. If I have to pick between Randy Johnson on HOF or a 4 week wait for Donaldson, I pick the wait. I can get Cano my very next 25k as well. I like hard and this isn't a full complaint thread even though my first go at Johnson was ridiculously bad luck. 11 outs for one base and failed.

Do you mean 100k pxp a month? 1M would be 33k a day which I don’t think is possible.

Completed it today finally. Probably 20ish tries. I love a challenge and won’t let the game beat me. I must old. No sense of achievement having something gifted to you
Btw, I found Ryan was much harder to hit than Randy

Congrats man I just beat it a couple minutes ago as well what a rush. I was so hesitant whether to skip Nolan go straight to Randy but I didn’t and beat Nolan by the skin of my teeth # I Hate that Dude
. Randy was more a endurance test take lots of pitches ones he got to the yellow and slightly red it’s easier to clutch it with some timely hits he dots A lot less at that point and throws some down the middle. -

Yea I’ll pass on the showdown, I am not that into masochism

Yeah I dont even mess with normal Showdown, no way I go near this extreme RNG simulator. Conquest Extreme was much easier than I thought. I only had to do one HOF game. The rest were AS or easier
