Are much easier and even more XP... going to be the easiest way to get XP and the future stars for sure.
I love hearing this. This can make my day.
So what about them is easier?

One thing i noted right away, most of the hitting ones you start with a guy on base. I will agree they are generally easier and faster. I'm working through NL right now. One of the 2nd tier ones for example was to score 3 runs in 3 innings...but they start you with bases loaded in the 1st. I hit a single and then a HR and was done...easy peasy. But even without the HR I could have manufactured at least 2. The toughest was the 1st one so far, scoring I think 2 runs off Sixto Sanchez. There was a moment against the Brewers where you needed 3 hits AND 3 strikeouts, so one side of the ball wasn't a complete waste of time.
Also worth noting, you get 2 diamonds right off the bat instead of 1...which is generally nice. I went Yelich and Rollins

Stubs and XP are up to 150 and 900 for the none elimination showdowns. You start with runners on base for most of the challenges and either have the lead or are tied.
First boss for me was Irsinghausen down 2 with 12 outs and you start with a runner on second...

2nd showdown is vs Tom Glavine, needing only 3 runs and 15 outs. I forgot to check if it's veteran or all-star. But regardless that's easy. Also you start with a guy on 2nd.

This as well is a huge help! And even the second boss is on Veteran...

mine was vs CP Smoltz- score 3 runs on 15 outs and a runner on second to begin

This is great news, I am sure I will still fail and struggle, but that is more about me sucking.

Can you only do the new showdowns for points once you’re at 70 from stage 1?

I think so
-
I suspect you can do them regardless, but the vibe I got is you can only use the vouchers once you get to stage 2.
-
Yeah you can only put them towards 2nd stage. If you look at Reds for example stage 1 says NL Central Showdown but stage 2 just says NL Showdown
-
Its really worth playing every stage of showdown now, solely bc of the XP you get

Wait so Stage 2 doesn't have them for each division like Stage 1?

Only XP is lower a bit,stubs and difficulty is the same

They took away like 7k XP...but you still get 16k.
Thank you cry babies for the easy showdowns lol

I must be terrible at this. All the way to the second boss and haven't won a blue mission yet.
