Id really like some help improving my hitting. I hear guys on here saying what a cake walk this showdown is. I tried it 3 times. Twice I couldn't move past Valenzuela and once I couldn't get past Lee.

I'm housesitting and the TV here is insanely large. I thought that would make it easier but I'm having trouble big time offensively and hoping it's getting use to the TV and not that I suck. This is my first year playing the Show but I've been playing since May and have completed all offline content and collected every player card not named Alomar (throws things all over the room, knowing this is not a real world problem) so while I'm somewhat new, I feel like I should have advanced past this rookie ability.

What is a good way to work on my hitting without wanting to put my head through this gratuitously obese television?

This game does not play well on a big screen. You really need a 27” monitor. I play on a BenQ.

Yount has sneaky pop for me. I love his swing, and his power is enough to get the job done.

So I'm the only person not having server issues?

You have to stay back a little later with Stanton's swing.
I hit well with his specialty card from last year. I forgot which series, maybe a TN from last year.

They had to change out hamsters.

i think the next gen system is more important. i have my Series X set up on a monitor, but move it the big screen and dont have too much of an issue, there is a difference but 32 inch to 75 inch...as my ex wife always told me size matters....but when i play on Xbox one X, the game play is very laggy and not smooth. i went back and played 2020 on my ps4 same thing. just my 2 cents

stuck at 83 points - no rush for this card mainly because I don't have a spot for him. Him swinging a wet noodle is cool for the moment.

It has taken me 4 hours alone minus 30 minute dinner or so to do all minus Brandon Lowe POTM one I’m working on now… barely got any XP too which stinks luckily got 3 players so locked in for 20k xp

I really had a difficult time completing this one as well.

Shoot I thought the wil Myers moment was easy. I do love his swing but I got it on the first try. I would say just not to miss the hanging stuff and start with your pci in the top of the zone. Either that or use directional and try to pull 2 home runs

Yeah I mean especially with all the new Xbox users and everything I think they’re doing a great job with the game, even with the occasional server issue. Diamond dynasty and RTTS are incredible.

Wait til you get to the Vlad moment...

That was my easiest, literally took 2 swings. best swing out of all these cards. J Turner was my longest.

Did all the moments and skipped a few Missions. Just easier and faster that way.

The Turner moment is the one I’m stuck on now. I can get two doubles and a single, but that’s the best I’ve done.

@firedog99k_psn said in Hitting:

Okay I was playing with the settings and I changed turned off the guess pitch deal and it’s a complete difference for hitting I believe that was effecting the timing

Yeah that was definitely your problem. If you use guess pitch and guess wrong it's a guaranteed out almost

@firedog99k_psn said in Comeback Logic?:

Conquest

Those three modes are loaded.

Conquest especially messes with your head because you expect it to be easy on Rookie, Veteran or All Star; if you fall asleep, that serpent will eat you whole.
