DeGrom Showdown tips?
-
this one is pretty hard.
The best I got was 3 runs back on the last boss level.
Any tips on beating him?
-
- Draft lefties and switch hitters (thats probably an obvious one)
- Sit fastball and be patient. He'll throw probably about 70-75% fastballs, and as he gets tired they slow down a bit and getting his confidence lower also helps.
- Steal 2nd and 3rd every single time until you are down 4 runs. They won't even cover or try to throw you out, and staying out of double plays makes a big difference.
- I also find that it gets easier the more times you try it. Getting used to facing him and getting used to your hitters swings makes a big difference for me.

These are great tips here. Have to look fastball, his slider is tough. I passed the first time and I'll be 57 this year. 2nd time got done in by diving Seager dp and diving OF play. 3rd time could not buy a hit on good/perfect swings. Likely need a little luck too.

I passed the first time and I'll be 57 this year.
So there's hope for me... just turned 62. I got to within 5 runs my first pass, but I'll try again.

Was a lot harder than I thought was going to be. Still haven't beaten it, but I see light at the end of the tunnel. I think best if you take as many pitches as possible. Yeah, let him have his corner kisses and just take them, but once he hits 100 pitches his arm dies and you can see the difference. Just need to have the right guys in the right place in the batting order

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL get the drag bunt perk and choose fast players. The perk gives everyone 99 bunting. You can do it.

I just gave up I this I bought him instead he got shelled shockingly I’m gonna buy Andy instead his jolt was nails for me.

Be patient. Look for fastballs. I use strike zone but strike zone high may give you just a blink extra time. I'll probably try again tonight and tomorrow.
I am sitting at 793 and am trying to get kind of high in WC for the better rewards. Still trying to get Ohtani and only have 40k now. I'll be very happy to win 2 games out of 6 which would probably get me better rewards than winning 4-5 in the 500's.
Hitting in the 7-800's would probably be much easier with Tulo, Pujols, Marte, Santana, JRam, Simmons, Chipper, 99 Miggy. Probably played 250 hours and have none of these. Sad.

@Pergo_MLBTS Also, you can use the captain boost. I used Piazza with several Mets.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Oh wow, had no idea. Thats a good one!
-
I can't hit on hall of fame. I just bought the card.
-
No worries! You won’t be the only one buying that card.
-
i can't even get past the first degrom boss now
-
So I'm now 3-6 on this. Don't sleep on the diamond Michael Young. Hit me a HR and 2 base hits that he could steal 2nd on.
Another tip is don't steal 2nd and 3rd and take 2 strikes. Not worth it.
Also noticed on all my steal attempts deGrom threw fastballs pretty close to the middle.
-
As everyone has said, Leftie’s or those with solid contact vs RHP
Take pitches, and I mean take pitches, for the first 10-15 batters don’t even worry about scoring, just get the pitch count up, contact hit if you need, try get at least 5 pitchers per out.
If you can get to 100 pitches with 8-12 batters left, it gets much easier.
Always steal 2nd and 3rd early on too. Get yourself out of that Double Play risk.
-
Option B: you wait a couple months for more Red Diamond Ranger & Met cards to be released. I’m assuming they’ll be available to be drafted once they’re in the wild.

Put a couple common guys on your bench with good speed. When you get within 4 runs, consider pinch running for anyone on first with under 60 speed...and then steal second. Double plays are so common in this game and must be avoided. This came back to bite me once - when the common i used to pinch run had to bat...but still, DPs are absolute death and must be avoided.
Anchor your pci high. Sit high fastball always. If its less than 2 strikes, try not to swing at anything that is on the corners - not worth it, more likely to be an out and you need to run his pitch count up.
If youre up 2-0 or 3-1 in the count, consider taking a pitch - walks are as useful as home runs until score is close (no joke, walks mean just as much because stealing is free)

Just buy the card.
