extreme showdown is b.s.

Rant Alert:
i dont know how many times ive tried to beat this freakin showdown. ive tried multiple different strategies as far as drafting and batting order. i am embarrassed with how many studs ive burned trying to get through this. at this point of the year, i realize that beating this is irrelevant. but i am dead set determined on getting through this stupid thing. ive come close quite a few times, but each time, i feel i get screwed some how. for example, i have the winning run on third with one out remaining, only to have a line drive hit off the pitcher or another infielder that just conveniently rolls to another infielder then i get thrown out. i dont know why, but it infuriates me to think that this game, and this showdown, will get the best of me. i understand that this is the "extreme" showdown. extreme shouldnt mean [censored] near impossible. perhaps they could put a price tag on showdowns or challenges for suckers such as myself that cant seem to beat a challenge. i dont know, im speaking out my [censored] right now.

Yeah it's a very toxic showdown. I had some issues with this one as well, for the first time I might say even though everyone has always been complaining about showdowns in general. This one did give me trouble.
What I did was draft at least 1 player with high speed and high bunt attributes, like Lou Brock or Honus Wagner. Put him leadoff and try to drag bunt your way on base by flicking the right stick towards the middle of 1st base and 2nd base. That's where the ball will be bunted to and if performed correctly, the pitcher can't make a play and the 2B has to come from too far to make a play on time. This will help a lot, especially against Chapman. Be careful with stealing if you don't have the steal perk, the game screws you 8/10 times and you'll lose your baserunner.
Perseverance is key tho, you'll get it done eventually. Good luck.

Rant OverWhy? Why do it? There are no good rewards. It’s not needed to finish Extreme. Why? Just leave it in the corner where it belongs.
