Did 1st inning showdown just change?

This company is starting to get blasted for some of the cheap and trash things that they are doing and they deserve every bit of it. I can usually hit pretty well on All star and I just played against Kenley Jansen in the showdown. Needed to get 9 runs on 15 outs. Granted I didn't attempt to do too many of the in between missions but beat the bosses and I think 2 of the other ones. I had Jansen over 100 pitches in relief and he was still dotting the pitches, pitches never slowed down. I lost 15 to 14. This mode really is a pile of [censored] and they fact that rolled it out and just dropped the rewards and lowered the stubs is plain and simple a move that EA does regularly.
They are getting more and more like them everyday and it's a shame.

They lowered the rewards throughout all showdowns
Lower the rewards, make hitting harder and put Legend fielding Cpu in Veteran difficulty challenges.
How to please your customers 101.

I wish the mode had checkpoints or something. Like the 1st Inning is 70 stars, maybe after you beat the first boss you get 10 stars. Not repeatable, but at least you get something. Then you can keep trying. Beat the second boss and 20 stars. Again just a one time reward but you are getting the stars. Then if you win the final showdown, you get the last 40 stars.
Maybe a dumb idea, I don't know, and the number of stars might need to be tweaked. But the all or nothing is a bit frustrating.

Agree. Very disappointed with MLBTS 20.

There is a lot of [censored] that needs to be worked on and hitting wasn't one of them. It was great at launch to actually hear that people were actually enjoying the game instead of the bashing and trashing the greed and stupidity of the developers but man, did that change. XP is given out at a lowered amount, program stars are hard to come by unless you do certain things. This game is just a mess of angry people right now

Took a fun game out of the box and killed it.

Yep they did it bc the pack gives u a chance for a diamond or gold. Now it’s only a silver card

Loll classic Sds, hey at least we can all look at our locked in collection cards because they wanted it be a more realistic collecting feeling LOL, now they nerf rewards when they realize they over compensated something, don’t complain tho people will just call you a cry baby, funniest thing is the “Sony Partners” will talk this game up when this current state of gameplay is extremely on par with what 18 was

Youtubers were gaming the Showdown system for packs and stubs, whether it was fair or not, it was a crappy look so SDS had no choice but to adjust the rewards in order to remove the ease at which you take advantage of the mode.
I dont blame SDS, i blame the chumps who spend hundreds of dollars to buy the best teams to impress their viewers but still felt the need to game Showdown in their videos for a few extra packs.
Ive been playing MLB The Show for few years now, and SDS gives us tons of free players and packs.....they are far more liberal with their content then any studio ive ever dealt with.....but they cant let people show the player base how to cheat the system.
Its like any game advantage these days. Once Twitch and Youtube "stars" hear about it, they cant help themselves, they must abuse it in order to squeeze an extra sub or two out of it.
SDS would never have touched the mode if it wasnt turned into an attempt to gain "views" and therefore money, by players who make "MLB The Show" videos.
Thats what ive gotten out of the situation, at this point.

Don’t defend SDS on this. The game was developed over months. These reward structures were designed by SDS. Having to get 3 runs in 15 outs for a pack against gold Saberhagen on veteran wasn’t a glitch or an exploit, it was literally a design feature. Having to drastically alter basic components of the game a week after release is a failure by the developers/designers nothing more.

A lot of shills here man.They designed it,tested it and put it into game.Now when players are using their design to win packs and stubs they nerf it because they hate you and want your money.
