I understand the mode is challenging, if you get off to a good start, you can get the pitcher's confidence down. if you wait for enough pitches they will throw it down the middle for easy hits. I wanted to post the video to try and help people.

Alright, fair enough, I probably should not have put easy in the title of this thread. But in all honesty I feel that the mode is fairly easy with the right strategy. I have failed it a few times sure, but I have been able to complete showdown with this method about 30 times now and I know based off the feedback and comments that it has also helped many people out. That was my goal for making the thread and the video, to help others, I'm glad I could help in some way. I always look to keep improving with all of your feedback so thank you, I appreciate it.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I completed the conquest missions and showdown earlier. The first link below will help you with the turn based conquest mission in the 4th inning and the second link will help with the 4th inning showdown, even if you don't use the same method. I am simply trying to help out as many people as possible.

Good to see you around

I appreciate it man! I’ve been really busy with my career. I’m a full time high school special education teacher and I create content on the side as a hobby/part time job.

Hello everyone, hopefully you’re all having a wonderful day. I made this video a couple weeks ago explaining how I decide if a pitcher is good to use in MLB The Show 20. I still get asked about individual pitching attributes and I figured I would post this here. https://youtu.be/QtepamKjkp4

Maybe a title like. "Tips for making showdown easier" instead of "Beat Showdown Easy".

You are better than a vast majority of people attempting the mode. I was able to complete it and there is no doubt that these are easier than the first batch of Showdowns. I never even came close on the first batch.

I think people are also more sensitive here because there are a number of users who, whenever someone complains that they are having trouble with a showdown always shows up in the thread talking about how easy it was, basically bragging on themselves while making the original poster feel worse.

I completely understand, and I never meant the thread to come across as me bragging about playing CPU on veteran. I would never brag about beating the CPU or anyone online at all. I just play the video game for fun and for what it is, a video game. Sure, I’ll get some feedback of people mocking me and saying those aren’t true tips. The confidence meter is the biggest factor in this method by far.

I wanted to post this video to the forum to try and help as many people improve their hitting in MLB The Show. I am not the best hitter by any means but some of these tips might help you make it to the World Series like they have helped me.

I love these videos

"Hey guys today I will show you my tips on how to get through a Showdown.In general what I like to do is skip to the end and then just hit perfect perfect HR's and doubles until I score 16 runs"

Wow man thanks for the advice

I don't agree with many of your posts but i'll always join the fight to call out lame youtube videos.

For the record the content creator in the video is a nice guy, but he's just creating another clickbait video for views. I mean I guess that's the youtube culture.

I don’t see how the title is clickbait when I showed evidence of the method working. I also never mentioned to subscribe to the channel leave a like or anything like that. I don’t create YouTube videos for views. I create them to help other people with the game

What's up MLB The Show nation, I wanted to post this video to the forum to help people unlock Stage 2 Future Stars fast. I have unlocked 11 of them so far and they are all really good! Check out this video on how to complete showdown with no money spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn6QFWzhSfw&t=15s

What's up everyone, hope you all are having a great day. I wanted to post a video on 5 Advanced Hitting Tips I have used over the last few years. These have helped me improve while playing the game. Thank you for checking it out and feedback is greatly appreciated. https://youtu.be/S5ayVlD5UT8

Hey everyone, I wanted to post this tutorial on how to complete the turn based missions in the "symbols" conquest map released today. Here is an example: beating the Cubs before turn two and the Yankees before turn four. https://youtu.be/EFhWDUG-dOM

Lol I am offended sir

What’s up everybody! I haven’t been on here for a bit, but I wanted to post a video on how to complete team affinities quickly. I’ve used a few different methods and those cards are certainly worth it. https://youtu.be/nN5lDMwtitY

Hopefully you enjoy the content!

@Rabid55Wolverine said in Beat Showdown Easy down by 15 runs with 20 outs! (Video):

Personally lefty is my favorite content guy because he is so much more "real" than some of the jokers that do it. The old partners were nothing short of arrogant dbags and some of the top guys that produce content are so full of themselves that it's hard to keep watching. I've always enjoyed lefty's stuff, it's a great change from the others and it's always good stuff and I find it valuable to the community.

That being said, he is a top guy so what's easy for him is still somewhat challenging for quite a few others. I've only done it twice and won both but I understand why people still struggle. I think the biggest problem with these modes is that we all get in our own heads too much and screw it up. Any pitcher is hittable on veteran.

Thanks lefty, always appreciated

Thanks man I’m glad I could help. I appreciate the kind words.

Is it bad I thought lefty would look like the dude in his moms basement from the WoW episode of South Park

Lefty is a top notch educator who works with special needs kids, he gives back to the community, and provides wonderful entertainment while ya'll stuck at home. Check yourself, what have you done to better the world we live in?

Thanks man I appreciate you! I also saw the other comment in the thread, thank you, I try to help somebody each and every day. I’m not perfect but we as people can always improve and strive to get better at everything we do.

@Hikes83 said in Best showdown performance (brag post):

AL showdown, I drafted the following:

Franco
Ortiz
Gehrig (gold)
Encarnacion
Haniger

Couple pitcher to round out. Go to my lineup and the game gifts me with bronze lefties with big power like Odor, Choo, Tellez, Jake Cave. Decided to skip to final boss down 15-0 and give it a try vs Dunning. Won the showdown with 14 outs left.

Probably get flamed for this by some but I’m proud and this board could use a little positivity

Thanks @college_lefty93 for the tips

My man!!! Nice job beating the showdown! 16 runs with only 6 outs is really impressive. I appreciate the shoutout dude!
