    I beat the NL Showdown last night. Doesn't mean it's still not rigged. Sliders are skewed and fielder's are put on God Mode.

      That's how the first ones were but these are easier because the moments are significantly dulled down to earn more runs for the showdown. I mean even in the one I did last night the Rockies kid was painting like Maddux so I'm sure those sliders are still in effect. But on veteran they throw more fastballs down the middle so just be a little more patient.

        I played through 1 yesterday and it was so incredibly easy. went in 15-15 and Larkin homered on first pitch and that was that.
        Add our boy (I’m a Braves fan) Kyle Wright to a potential final boss. Had him today. I’ve done it four times now and still no Graterol.

          I guess I just got lucky. I could not hit him at all either.

            I know these are supposed to be on veteran, but pitch speeds absolutely feel faster than veteran.

              Haven't played a lot the last couple days but gave the NL showdown a try. Really easy but my second mini-boss was Maddux and he got me to ground out the whole time and I lost 2-2.

              On the second try, I got Glavine as the 2nd mini-boss and beat him easily. Got Graterol as the final boss and easily beat him. If you take the long way and keep beating the moments, your lineup and perks setup at the end are insane. Super fun and way less frustration than the original set of showdowns.

                For that one the boss has been either Maddux Glavine or Smoltz for me. All are good but you just have to be patient and not swing at all the junk especially from Maddux and Glavine. Glavine’s fastball can be sneaky quick though.

                  I hope this is the case because I've been late a few times and my pride is shook.

                    I got Brown from the Brewers on my second attempt. I started out awful but managed to pull it off.

                      Add Keller to the list of 2nd mini-bosses. I'm on my first try and I had him. I had Kyle Wright as my 1st mini-boss.

                      I'm getting ready to face Rolison in the Final. Suggestions?

                        He wasn't hard to hit at all. I think he has a slow curve so just sit middle up. His delivery is easy to pick up too.

                          I had Zach Britton as the 2nd and then Clark Schmidt as the final boss. Britton is horrible as he throws 102 mph sinkers, but the run requirement for the second boss is so low it doesn't really matter. Schmidt was weird, he didn't give up a single hit to my right handers, but didn't get a single out against my lefties. Only needed 5 runs so he didn't last long

                            I got off to a bad start vs. Rolison, and I'm taking a break! I was hitting him pretty well, but hit into a couple of early DPs and a couple of bad strikeouts, which is aggravating. I also didn't help myself by only collecting 6 runs going in, plus for some reason I thought he was a righty and loaded my lineup to go against a righty.

                              Yeah the DPs are killer. Mood and momentum killer for sure. With these prospects I've faced I've googled them as soon as I knew the boss to know what handedness they are. I ended up stacked on lefties too when I faced him but I only needed 4 runs so it worked out.

                              But for anyone unfamiliar with the prospects I definitely recommend googling them first as soon as you see the logo in the bottom left so you can plan your drafts.

                                Yeah, I did that right after the draft when I figured out it was going to be Rolison in the Final. Apparently I'm not very smart. Somehow, I came away thinking he was a righty! I must have glanced at his batting side and didn't pay attention. Duh!

                                EDIT: I lost....again....I suck! These final showdowns are getting in my head!
