    The showdowns aren’t that hard. Just because you can’t do them. I’m sure there are loads of videos to help.

    Draft power hitters
    Sit high fastball until 2 strikes.

    One think that I told my son that helped him if your struggling. If you get a runner on first, bunt him over.

    3 consecutive out velocity perk
    Losing velocity perk
    No runner on or ahead of the count velocity perk.

    Stack lefties when facing a righty and vice versa.

    Definitely appreciate these tips. I think many of us get in our heads. I’ll try some of these approaches.

    My issue was the one with Nenn. States you start out with a runner on first. Now when you stated with a runner on first or third in the TA Showdowns it was always your 7th or 8th batter.

    So what I did was put my two fastest players Charisma Henderson and Tatis on those spots and put Charisma Griffey in the leadoff spot.

    But when it loaded they had my 5th spot Charisma Devers in on first. Then I proceeded to hit pop ups until Devers came t bat and since he was at bat they substituted a Common player with 5 speed on at first.

    Ending up failing it.

    Brian Wilson is frustrating me so badly that I just want to throw my controller and be done with this game.

    Legit despise showdown, even more so when it’s mandatory.

    If I have to do extra exchanges or play more hours to do repeatable PXP missions so be it, but no more showdown!

    Showdowns just seem to be something that SDS refuses to let go of. Some people like it (or at least put up with it), but a LOT of people despise the ####ing things. Its been three years, evolve it based on feedback or let the mode go.

    I've failed Charisma twice now, but a great tip early on, before you get players for succeeding is: When you are forced to have an all Common bench, sub in the fastest speed guys! One of them got a cluuuutch hit for me at one point. The one where your 8th batter starts on 1st is one to put a fast runner, as someone mentioned
    My bad placement issues have been my downfall so far. I missed so many cookies, that I flung my milk away 🤣
    I should beat this, but Gibson is pure hell as well as Brian Wilson!
