    Curious to hear more about showdown this year. These were very frustrating early on last year. Super ninja CPU fielders and the mode playing nowhere near the difficulty level displayed.

    I know WS caliber players had no issues with these but I feel like average types like myself struggled early on. I hope they are a bit more reasonable this year. It's a fun mode and I'm not looking for handouts but I'm also not looking to waste my time either.

    Really wish they would either allow you to restart (for a cost) where you "died" or give you 1 ticket for each boss beaten so it's not completely all or nothing.

    I've made WS in the past, pitch speeds are way too high this year and pitchers take forever and don't throw strikes in a gamemode that already is too long.

    Ouch. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I will go with MTO for my TA needs then lol

    Length of time is kind of frustrating tbh

    Why would you do MTO? That's even longer and probably just as bad lol

    If it takes someone like me 5 to 10 times to beat showdowns and the frustration. Playing MTO is easier and relaxing knowing I will get the higher points for it. There is no failing. I think you should get at least 1 TA point for beating any of the bosses.

    MTO is just one of many ways to get TA points. Most people prefer Show Down because it takes less time, but it's far more frustrating. I loved MTO last year. did 8 or 10 seasons with a couple teams.

    This year you have to do either MTO or showdown to get the max amount of points. Exchanges only add up to 30. 15 for conquest, 10 for moments, and idk the exact number but with the player missions added in it doesn't add up to 150. Showdown will be the quickest with MTO or inning grinds taking longer

    You can do innings fast in a 9 inning game vs CPU. That can take 15 to 20 min once you have 9 players you can use from one team. you can strike out every time or bunt with your team. No need for stats unless you have a mission offline you want to do. It does get boring.

    No judgment for anyone who does this, but man, I couldn't. Once the grind stops being fun, I'm out.

    Those interested in XP i am going to try a method from a way I did it last year see if it helps if it does, It will be awesome but boring and time consuming but worth it if needed.

    It is good if you need that last push for innings. I did it a few times last year.

    The Franchise method you did last year does not work this year, neither does HR derby. They nerfed them last year, and made additional adjustments this year.
