Showdown is telling of this games flaws

It's the same argument over and over.
Some people say showdowns are easy. Other people say showdowns are hard and both sides tend to have people who think their experience is representative of everyone else's.
I think we can all agree that Showdown Veteran is not the same as Play vs CPU Veteran. They ramp up some of the sliders just like they did with moments.
So Joe Random who regularly stays around All Star or below, playing a veteran challenge is going to have more complaints, while Sammy Superstar that lives on HOF or Legend won't even break a sweat.

The impatience is what I find will hinder me in showdown. Many times I will draft and skip to the end right away. It is a lot more challenging as you need 16 runs with silver and bronze players. If you are able to go all the way through the missions you should have a pretty decent team and hopefully over 5 runs to help. I will agree I see a fair share of BS but in 20 outs you should overcome them.
I suggest if you plan to do majority of the program take only one silver starting pitcher and all power hitters. If you know the end boss is a lefty or righty stock up on hitters for the final boss. Work the count there is a lot of balls thrown and walks. Last never stretch for the extra base. If it’s a no doubt double do it but no need to give away an out when you have plenty of opportunities to move them over. It’s a station to station mode. Also don’t steal the CPU is ridiculous on getting you out with stealing. Hope some of this will help you guys and good luck! -

Fake news. Nothing wrong with Showdown cause there’s players who have no trouble with it. Their experience speaks for everyone else’s experience.
We finally have an offline mode that's somewhat challenging (though not really) that gives good rewards and people cry because they can't mindlessly grind like back in 18 where we could play the Rockies at coors on rookie mindlessly to rack up our 500 hits that we needed. Sorry.
I think their more frustrated with the nerfed hits and CPU making awesome plays to take one away...repeatedly. How do you combat that? Like, when you do everything right but the game is making the decisions....frustrating.
In showdown I'd say 90% of my perfect hits drop, i'll even keep track next final boss I do, most of my good squared's fall, once in awhile the computer makes a great play, but if 1 play is ruining your whole showdown experience I don't really know what to tell you.
Like I said, your experience with it puts all the others to rest. If the CPU is only every once in a while taking one away from you....does that mean it’s doing the same for everyone else?
Am I playing a different game from everyone else? because the way you guys talk it seems like it, I have a friend that's completed all 30 fotf players so far using showdowns exclusively, are we playing a different game than you guys?
You're a better hitter, so you have more perfect hits than most, so more fall in. Same as the better hitters in RS overcoming rng.
When you have less good hits it's easier to point to them not falling or getting robbed.
I’m not even a great hitter, and I’ve had no issues with my perfect hits falling.
The CPU will always make good plays in any mode you play, it isn’t exclusive to showdown. And my hits definitely aren’t nerfed just because I’m playing showdown.
I cant tell you how many perfect hits are line drives to 2and. I'm having nightmares about it. Not that it doesnt happen in other modes, but compared to veteran conquest it happens a lot.
I played showdown in between doing conquest games on Veteran/all star, and I didn’t notice a difference.

Even in conquest you have that one game where the CPU players are all playing for their next contract. A team you regularly murder 15-0 suddenly becomes the '27 Yankees lol.

Yeah, they choked when their good hits were nerfed and the CPU makes insane defensive plays. Totally the fault of the player.
How can I improve my perfect/perfect hits to be successful? Since you seem to have figured it out.
You can improve your inputs by bribing Ted who works at SDS. He put me in the category for players that get rewarded and get to play on rookie difficulty while everyone else plays at legend. Just have to be willing to drop $200 in chase quick pay to Ted@sonysandiegostudios.com
If you can’t dispute what I said, why go the smart$$$ route? Just wanted something to say?

Those who get 12-0 in BR are 10/10 alpha males who have 5 girlfriends and a 9 figure job where they work 3 hours a week, while those who get 12-1 are disease ridden mongrels who should be wiped from the earth in order to make way for more 12-0 superchads.
I’ve gone 13-0 but I make 10 figures while all you plebs do my manual labor so I can’t get on board with getting rid of the 12-1 bums. Who would mow my lawn and fetch my drinks while I sit by the pool making fat stacks?

In Conquest, he's Jose Berrios. In Showdown, he ranges from Rick Ankiel at his worst to Greg maddux at his best. I've had moments where he walked my 3-4 hitters on 8 straight balls, then threw 15 straight strikes to the next 3 batters, all of which painted the black

It was bad lol I was stealing with the guy on first and he got a bad jump so I tried to emergency hack to get another pitch, cutter wayyyy outside, couldn't get my pci to it and struck out, worst part about it.. offline throw from the catcher so the bad jump didn't even matter lol

Had a chance but got a ground rule double which stopped my runner at third then I had a bad AB to finish it.When you’re a WS player with thousands of games played and a 6-15 starting point with 3 quirks that make you even better you aren’t going to notice it. Play a few from 0-15 and it’s actually incredibly easy to see the perfect/perfects start to become random good/good and good/okays

Yea grounder to third, Turner was moving to his left tagged the runner got then went 5-4-3 to get the other 2 that both had below 40 speed.
