Sounds about right, it was brutal. I had to take a break and walk away after every couple of matches or my eyes would start crossing. ...If I can do it, then you can. Just be patient, work counts, look for your pitch, and take one match at a time. The Ai Pitchers will eventually make mistakes.

BTW: Go directly to Clemons, and practice a couple of times. Keep note of how many runs you can score against him and that will show you how many henchmen points you will need to acquire. After my first go around, I failed but was still able to tag 11 runs on Clemons. When I did the Showdown the second time, I only needed 7 or 8 runs when I got to Clemons, and so I knew that I could get that if I was patient.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN
I completed this Showdown on my second try and went 9 of 10. I was able to beat Clemons by making him throw a lot of pitches. Basically, I drafted a lot of lefties, sit my PCI middle center, and waited for a middle-high fastball to crush. I had about 15 outs left when Clemons was almost out of energy and his pitches became more flat and only topped out at 99-100 mph. This is when I did most of my damage and scored the final four runs I needed with around 10 outs to go.

I used this strategy for all the Pitchers except for O'Day. For him, I sit my PCI low. I was able to get a hit and immediately subbed him for a speed guy off the bench. Then I stole 2nd and 3rd and used contact swing to knock in my runner from 3rd.

• I recommend having a couple of speed guys on the bench to sub in for slower runners on base. There are too many instances where you will hit into a double play... so stealing 2nd is important when you only need a run or two with just a few outs remaining.

Sale pitches from a unique, high-velocity, sidearm windup. It's just quicker than some traditional wind-ups.
That is who I picked also. He is the one Pitcher than can give me 4-5 solid innings against very good players on AS and HOF.

BTW:
*That CP Roki card is going to be .

I have nine more collections left. I am going to work on the Neon TA and Summer Mini Season simultaneously to knock those out. The other seven collections may take a while because I have no idea how to acquire those cards without buying them from the market. I may skip the Standout collection due to that Posada card cost.

@elway7751_PSN
I do not think SDS has ever claimed this game was an exclusive "simulation". While they do incorporate some realism into the game, it has always had some arcade aspects as well. I remember in '14 or '15, hitting a 500 ft.+ homerun with Edmonds, off of a pitch just above his shoe laces. That is not sim.

code

@fubar2k7_PSN

That does not always work. At times, I have even shut down my system and disconnected from the network, and the logos still did not show up on reboot.

The only fix that works in those cases is to make a small adjustment to your hat's custom logo, of the H or A logos that are not being loaded into a game.

@Tylerslikewhoa_XBL
Can't Wait!!!

@Dolenz_PSN
Yep, but after many years of dealing with this logo issue, I discovered a reliable method to fix it, at least temporarily.

Anytime your logos disappear, just make a slight adjustment to your hat logo, and they will show back up. I thought that adjusting just the home hat logo would fix everything, but then I realized that you may need to adjust both the home and away hat logos. Regardless, I am not sure what makes the custom uniform logos disappear, but this is how you can restore your custom logos.

I used to delete everything and re-upload everything and change the names of all of the logos, etc... and those methods did not always work. However, changing the positioning hat logos, seemed to always work, and that is when I realized that the bug is probably somewhere in the line of code that deals with the hat logo.

*So when your logos disappear (home or away), just shrink the hat logo by one pixel, or move the hat logo by one pixel... and your custom hat, jersey, helmet, jacket, etc. logos will re-appear.

But I agree, this is inexcusable... along with Lagaussa or whaever that nonsense is with the hack stadium.

Uniform logos still disappear, the lineup menu has been freezing all year, custom stadiums have been plagued by some hack stadium, etc... The OP has a valid point and is just coming here to vent, like a lot of folks do. There have been some annoying problems since launch.

However, I do not agree that the "game is broke". H2H and vs CPU Gameplay has been enjoyable for me. Thankfully, Sets and Seasons are gone, and I have enjoyed the Innings format. There are still a lot of fun, legendary cards to use, and the Spotlight program has been excellent this year. Lastly, SDS still does live streams regularly, and they have communicated with me after each bug or feedback submission.

So while there is much room for improvement, I am fairly happy with the game.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN
An A's Khris Davis card would have a roster spot on my team!

No, not disabled yet... unfortunately.

@Dinger_Dan19_PSN
He should get a HRD card, but yeah, hopefully the LS will also get supercharged.

@GoozeFn_PSN
Yep, Lindor was my SS until they dropped his Clutch. Very disappointing. However, once you parallel Baez, he is excellent. Diamond hitting with gold fielding. The 90+ power after P4 is nice.

@SaveFarris_PSN
If I opened 120 packs with no diamonds, then I would be a little disappointed. After pulling Ohtani last week, I have pulled a couple of lower-tier diamonds from about thirty or more packs. While I do not purchase many packs, I play a lot offline and get rewarded with a fair amount of packs. I cannot complain.

@Squid_Adams_PSN
"Home runs are beyond excessive and it's destroying the game."

Are you referring to Events, RS, BR, Offline, etc. or all the above? Because the current "Moonshot" Event is about hitting homeruns. If you are referring to RS, then what division/level are you referring to? This game plays different in every game mode, and it plays different on every difficulty mode.

@Doublevoltage_PSN
You can purchase Gehrig's Louisville Slugger bat in the equipment marketplace, so he should still be in the game.

Good ideas above. I would also like to see:

1. An option for screen numbers, along with an option to remove the outline from the jersey numbers.

2. Your current DD division logo on one sleeve (like in MLBTS 14), along with an option to add your custom logo on the other sleeve.

3. More stripe options on the socks, such as being able to relocate the stripes from the top of the sock to the middle of the sock.

4. Be able to choose your brand (such as Nike) for your custom uniforms.

Also, at dusk, there is a green hue in parts of the stadium area. I have noticed this on water, glass windows, parking lot pavement, etc. in created stadiums.
