Glad I came across this thread....I was one of 'those guys' who mistakenly chose Kyle Lewis twice way back when. Just opened a ticket and noticed that there's a specific option for picking duplicates, which is nice.

Just started playing online today. Took me off guard when I saw the team names. I.obliged and everyone was true to their word except one guy. I gave him
both the Didi and Belli homers but wouldn't give me anything. Thought he would quit after the homers... Next time the two came up again I plunked them both with two outs then got the next guy to pop up... Lol. The online community seems less toxic then last year...

Not good enough to do it the fast way, so did it the slow way. Had 10 runs against Hader to get Rizzo. Lowered him to zero energy and hit into 6 double plays. 3 of which were diving squared up or perfects. Down 14-15 with 1 out, hit a bomb to make it 15 - 15, the. Squared up a second hit for a lazy fly to end 15-15.... I hate and love this mode all at once.

Oh man....the perfect / perfect dives on veteran kills me!

@CLEtheLAND34 said in 1st Inning Showdown Tips?:

Patience at the plate is huge. I feel the farther you go along the more balls they’ll throw you. Take until you get a strike, sometimes even take 2.

I agree 100% with this statement. I do so so on the lead up to the final showdown typically acquiring between 8-10 runs (I usually try to skip the second last showdown). I go in confident and patient at the plate and can maybe get 2-3 runs, but as my outs dwindle down, my patience wears thin and make stupid swings.

I think what frustrates me the most is getting a perfect/perfect swing/contact and having it hit directly (fielder doesn't even move) to the guy....

I'm just glad it doesn't track how many times you've attempted it as that would drive me into a depression..
