This happens in conquest too on just about all difficulties. Starter cruises with no hits against, tires, you put in any reliever and the AI will homer shortly.
The way I “fixed” it vs the AI is bring in another starter and throw 2 blatant balls to first batter faced. You can also use your tiring starter to get the AI batter to 2 strikes and bring in anyone, get the K and you are 99% safe from the obligatory AI homer off new pitcher.
Even went to my main team and put in 8 RP’s. Still does not work.
This took me many tries too. Finally slashed a double 1st at bat just inside the LF line, hit a p/p meatball 2nd at bat and matty v said “a ball that’s carrying” so I knew that hit was a warning track out. No doubt homered my 3rd at bat. Was so happy when he tossed the bat to celebrate, thank goodness the moment was completed.
It’s 98/100. They should have added 1 more 2 point moment for us offliners who hate showdown.

Personally, I would rather have to get 1000 hits with Brooks Robinson than play showdown.
OMG, I want to hurl that card in the ocean.
8 hits with that [censored] will take 80 games.
EDIT: Forgot mub backwards is a bad word in the UK....but this isn't the UK...
haha yes! That's what I mean, I am struggling to get hits with him too but at least the stats are counting up and eventually I would get to 1000. This FOD showdown keeps restarting on me somewhere during the journey to the last boss so I can't clear it.
Plus it's showdown...
Yes I do. Having showdown restart 3 times in a row after failing the lefty grove boss made me feel like deleting the game.
Yep I tried the other avenues to complete it and was no fun either. Maybe just suffering through the whitesox and yankees online stats to complete but at the same time I got plenty of other things I would rather do like lay face down.
I really just want king felix.
Wish there were just more card set missions.

What do you want? A handout?
I could very well say the only way to complete this is having to play conquest and moments
It’s strange as every other program could be done without playing online or doing showdowns. Whether it be a mix of collections, offline stat missions, conquest, play vs cpu, and moments.
Exactly this. I added it up too when this program dropped and went ugh showdown. I have played every showdown and it’s basically as fun as moments would be with no restart. You get all the good/good non-hits and god-like AI defense thrown in your face for an hour and pray the rng is not cruel enough to leave you with a man on 3rd and 1st and two outs left and you ground into a double play with the pci slightly under the ball.
So here we go try number 3. I fail the lefty grove boss and it’s over?
Is this how it works? It keeps resetting me back to draft after failing that.
Stupid piazza celebrated a pretty shallow fly with a runner on 3rd, he was jumping up and down with excitement as my 62 speed player took his sweet time to get thrown out at the plate.
And back to draft.
Personally, I would rather have to get 1000 hits with Brooks Robinson than play showdown.
I switched to analog because he was useless for me on zone or directional and he homers and hits doubles like crazy.

8/2 - Posey v Mathewson
2 hits with Posey on Vet for 1
Sit that pci low low low
The randomness of this game. Struck out 1st 3. 2nd inning, double, single that scores Realmuto, pop out, Homer, failed.
Restart and pitch the same sequence and 8 straight K's, the pitcher pops up, strike out Mccutchen to complete it.
Trout bellinger and mookie, Why are bellinger and mookie still above 16k when Muncy and Bauer are much cheaper? Shouldn't Muncy and Bauer also be gatekeepers?
I feel like yes. Last patch said nothing about this of course but it feels like the FB is faster and the junk is slower making it way harder to time.
I was doing the moment yesterday vs Barnes and I had to press swing the split second it left his hand to get good timing on FB which was way too early of a button press time to judge if it was speed or junk.
100% chance we die, eventually. That one must fall under the 36% of not made up statistics.
Game is in a real bad place after the last patch. When playing the AI just assume that every pitch has an 89% chance of being a ball.
Put the controller down and accept your 2 walks.
If you want to actively play just foul off the rare strikes with the knowledge that there is an 89% chance the next pitch is a ball.
Both, with the TV, tested with game mode off and on. Not seeing much of a difference between either.
I am seeing this in play now, conquest, moments and showdown.
It’s nuts. Also an extremely high rate of grounding out to 1st. I tied up a final showdown game last night 15 all with 7 outs to go. Patiently waiting at the plate and plenty of good input and flyouts and pop ups and ground outs. Infield fly rule is even happening way more than before.
When I popped up the last at bat I just turned off the ps5. Staring at the wall is more fun than this weak batting.
Ramone BP pitcher. This is why moments suck. He has one pitch and cannot locate. If he was pitching in the HR derby the contestant would have ZERO homers.
Was playing the Orioles last night doing Team Affinity and Matt Harvey's delivery was hiccuping right after it left his hand. It would dip, then hiccup and appear above the previous point. Made it just about impossible to time.
