I think the game is still incredible despite the handful of tweaks that could be improved. That said, the idea I see that a perfect/perfect or good/good should always end up with a positive result for the batter is ludicrous. Do people not watch real baseball? How many times do you see balls crushed right at someone or hit into the gap where someone makes a great diving play. It happens at least a couple times almost every game. I love that this game also doesn’t automatically reward the batter every time for a good swing. And also allows for bad swings to sometimes fall in or squeak by a player.

Adley Rutschman dropping to 31k? He was at buy now 63k and sell now 53k just two hours ago?!

I finished a perfect game with Max Scherzer. Took two 9th inning crazy defensive plays to do it, but it happened.

Literally just signed on here looking for the same!

What kings said. I’m a mediocre player as well, and after two months of really struggling on showdowns, I read a bunch of strategy guides on reddit and that helped. Just google the showdown you want and there will be lots of good tips in the reddit thread.

I actually decided to switch hitting to Directional instead of zone to really force myself to swing at strikes and not “reach” for anything. Make yourself take a strike. Don’t try to go after low strikes as that will induce double plays. Wait for a pitch down the middle and regular swing.

I’ve won 6 out of 9 showdowns since adhering to this strategy.
