This is straight up b******* . this guy makes it look like it's so easy to bunt. all of his bunts go perfectly between the pitcher and the first baseman when only 10% of mine if that go there. 90% of the time they go either straight to the pitcher or straight to the first baseman at Rocket speed. then on top of that he tries to claim that oh don't worry if you have over 80 speed you'll steal every base no problem. f****** wrong! Git thrown out like 3 times. this method works for a little bit like maybe five or six consecutive plate appearances but then all of a sudden the game decides it doesn't want you to bunt. you can just do the same thing that you're already doing but all of a sudden guys lineout to the first baseman and get doubled off, bunt into double plays. have now wasted 2000 stubs trying to do this stupid spring Breakout Showdown and I'm 0 for 6 can't even get past the second stage because of this. Oh and before I forget, YES I AM USING THE RIGHT ANALOG STICK
I tried this on ES 2024 for the first and second time. First time got through PSkenes and RJohnson. ARizzo got me out 13 straight times before I could finally get a guy on. Failed. Second time got through PSkenes and RJohnson pretty easily, ARizzo with two outs remaining (gave up on bunting and went with regular hitting), Gibson wasn't too bad considering it was 6-0, Chapman was very easy, now I'm currently at RHalladay. From what I can tell, the drag bunt boost does nothing. The weird thing was they were occasionally bunting down the third base line although I was aiming the right joystick at 2 o'clock. This was only occurring during showdown and never in practice mode when I attempted it. EDIT - Also, most of the success that I had was with regular bunting. For drag bunts, The RHBs would either get HBP when they leaned into the strikezone or completely whiff even if the pitch were down the middle (I guess that makes sense though?). LHBs who drag bunted it seemed a wild pitch way out of the strike zone.
Are you bunting with the guys that do not have good speed as well? This was helpfull, but kind of counfusing when you mentioned to get hitters too but then sped up video and was just bunt after bunt. How often are you actually taking non bunt at bats?
It comes down to how comfortable you are swinging, depends on you. Personally I recommend bunting with the high speed players, stealing, then if you have a hitter that you’re comfortable with swing the bat. The method is just the fact that you’re bunting to get on and stealing to get in scoring position. It doesn’t mean you can’t hit as much as you want
Bunting in Showdown? I've never bunted once in a Showdown ever. I guess it could work, but I would need a lot of practice to bunt at your level shown here. I'll be sticking to those contact & exit velocity boosts in order to finish with usually 4-8 at bats for each challenge.
Drag bunting down the 1st base line is a hit more than it’s not if done properly. This video isn’t for people who have no issue hitting in the first place. It’s for people who want to complete the showdown and are struggling!
“It’s for people who want to complete the Showdown and are struggling” that’s me. I can beat the regular showdowns not the extreme How do you get the bunt to go toward the second baseman all the time.
Works great! If it isn’t working for you, you most likely aren’t clicking right on the right analog stick, pre pitch, to setup the drag bunt.

Finally I’ve been waiting for this
show this working on TA3 Extreme Showdown. i just tried it and got out 18 straight times versus Cliff Lee...
Same
Honestly just contact swing at everything 😂 I play on All star and beat every challenge on the first try
This definitely still works! I can record and upload myself doing it again if you would like
@@BClemttv like I said, show it working in TA3 extreme… because I tried it with 95+ speed guys against Cliff Lee & got out every single time
Did this until the 2nd to last showdown and suddenly didn’t work and failed with a runner on 3rd, tied. Catastrophic heartbreak
This method does not work on the extreme showdown when the bases are loaded when facing Giolito. You'll be doubled up everytime.
You won’t get doubled up every time, although that is the one situation where I recommend swinging the bat!
MF LEE SMITH HALLOWEEN SHOWDOWN ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK GOT DOWN TO 5 OUTS AND BUNTING WASNT WORKING SO I HAD TO RESORT TO SAC FLYS

yeah it works but you need to practice bunting (in hof difficulty), and I don't steal because there is chance of failure
You don’t need to practice bunting, there’s no skill to it.
The occasional caught stealing is worth not double playing.
Works season 2?

I never bunt, I only did so to show the method. There’s no skill to it, tap right analog to the right, then hold y or triangle as the pitch is thrown
Bunting doesn’t work unless you get lucky

How do you get the bunt to go toward the second baseman all the time.
@@smoothsmitty67 push your right stick to the right before the pitch, then hold Y (or triangle) as the pitch is delivered
I have been good at drag bunting every year but this year it pops up to first base a lot or goes right to the pitcher
@@WheelzGaming88 Being a little late has helped me a lot.
Why can’t i steal a base ? I keep getting thrown out
You need hitters with good speed and stealing attributes.
I also can’t get a bunt for shit
Fuck this doesn’t work. I completed it twice doesn’t count it
This shit does not work 😂
Absolutely does, I mean the video literally shows it working!
Either its all luck or this doesnt work
First🫡
This is awful
