    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.

    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

    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.
