showdown is incredibly easy - by far the easiest compared to other years games - this OP is typical of what is wrong with younger generations today - they always want the rewards without putting the work in
Or maybe and it’s quite possible the game isn’t good. I’m in a mini thing right now. Need 6 total. So far have 1 and 4 outs. Out of 4 outs I’ve slammed 2 balls good and inside the pci off center and slammed one for a hr that was robbed. What part of this is fixed by getting good? Everything should be perfect perfect and hope they don’t make a diving catch or rob a homerun? I’m truly interested because I can tell you I’m not bad at the game but I’m f’ing tired of playing it. Idk maybe they want only a handful of people playing.

Hello this post is not meant to be a hate post it's just meant to be feedback.
I am not very good at this game. I own and I admit that, I'm like a 400 or 500 skill level in head to head. If that. I very often struggle to make hits and score runs.
I've accepted that I'm not that good and I still enjoy building a team by doing all the offline content, And then I like to go online occasionally with my team and see if I can get some wins.
The showdown mode broke me. I ended up uninstalling the game because of it.. that game mode is actually quite fun but it's all or nothing nature is extremely frustrating for bad or new players. You can spend an hour on a run and if you don't beat the final boss you get literally nothing. Maybe some XP but that's it.
I really feel like if you make it to the final boss and lose you should still get at least one ticket I mean what's one ticket it's nothing. But it's better than literally nothing... If you win you should get five and if you lose you should get one. Maybe make it so you can't skip to the end(and still get the 1 guaranteed ticket) if you're worried about people just cheesing to get one ticket. But if you actually play through it all beat the middle boss and then lose in the final getting nothing is heartbreaking.
It happened to me four times in a row and that combined with the fact that I suck and lose online all the time I was just like what am I doing with my life why am I playing this game.
I hope this feedback is well received If a change such as this were to be made I will probably reinstall and come back because at least then I could feel like I could grind away and get the characters I want even if I'm bad and I lose to the boss half the time or more.
Showdowns are the hardest offline content for DD. Don't beat yourself up.

If thats the case I'll just skip to the final boss and quit out each time and pile up tickets in no time. You see the flaw?

He literally addressed that issue, plus if you charge for entry then you have to pay stubs for that. But OP said make it to where if you skip to final you dont get a ticket. One way that could be done is by getting a ticket from first boss. I think showdown is very easy as is but I have been playing baseball video games for 20 years and the show for at least 6. The issue is it is hard to cater the game to both new and veteran players. I think they do a good job of that but it will never be perfect
I literally posted/quoted what OP said there genius.
Which literally made your post make no sense at all.

- I bought a $175 gaming monitor;
I don't think this is really that big of a deal.
I have a 43inch 4k TV that is probably 5 years old.
I set the TV input to "gaming mode" which reduced input lag.
I think this setting on a TV is more important than buying a computer monitor, or at least [censored] near the same. I would check this setting on your TV. -

Lol, no problem. I just didn't expect it from someone with that name. Although I will admit I like JT better as an actor than a musical artist.

New players are looking for help not discouragement. He had a well thought out post obviously wanting advice. I would love to see what it looked like when you first started?
Well he was 80-100 last year alone in Ranked so I can only imagine... Always amazes me that people don't know you can look up their history and stats... Kinda comical. But what wpuld you expect from someone who chooses thaghettoblasta as a gametag hahha.

@mcgalamaad_psn said in Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback):
I honestly don’t understand how anyone can struggle that bad on showdown.
Lack of patience; which sometimes I'm guilty of because I hate this mode so much.
-
@thaghettoblasta said in Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback):
Honestly, I received the same exact feedback I'm giving from last years game...so whatever to those that are going to feed a whining person that can't beat a simple showdown. Just keep playing and you'll beat it.
Just wanted to tell you i don't think any less of you, just think there should be more tactfulness as a whole on this forum. Not just you everyone, myself included. This needs to be a discussion forum, not bash each other b/c we don't agree forum.
-
First, I’m pretty sure all you need to do is beat the first mini mission or two to get your stubs back, so it’s not “all or nothing”.
Second, with all due respect to yankblan, auto-taking to two strikes with every hitter is not universal good advice. If you are going to do that, make sure you have those perks equipped.
Taking pitches is good. Taking good pitches in hitter’s counts is not good.

I said in the post that they could make it so that if you skip to the boss you don't get the one ticket like it disables that.

Well in his defense he said he was new last year too i believe, so having a record close to .500 out of 180 games is not horrible. But again knowing that he shouldv'e been more undestanding i would think.

if you make it to the final boss being down 10-12, 8-12, I don't think you should be rewarded for failing, thats just my opinion and you already earned your stubs back by that point, just be patient in showdown, its a great way to improve, pop on some Netflix and just play away

Taking pitches is good. Taking good pitches in hitter’s counts is not good.
I did specify using the perks for this strategy; you want to drain the pitcher so that around 10 outs you can start racking up runs. Since it’s on veteran difficulty, swinging with contact gets you hits easily. It’s easier than last year, but last year with checks swings you could stretch ABs to 10+ pitches quite often. It’s not a guaranteed, but when I went into TA boss at 15-15 just attacking the ball with diamond mashers I still lost (I was fuming lol); but with a RP it’s really easy to drain the guy.

I can understand the complaints about struggling on Showdown. What I dont understand is the complaints about "all or nothing". Just defeating the mini boss gets you stubs and a pack and XP. To complete the Showdown, you have to beat the final boss. Why is that unfair? It's how video games have been set up for ages.
Look at Returnal. The first big PS5 release that utilizes the controller and graphics. You must complete the game in one run through without dying. When you die, you have to start again from the very beginning, with rooms randomizing, and there arent save points. That is "all or nothing".
Showdown is what it's supposed to be. You have to defeat the final boss to win, if not you must restart to attempt it again. Getting vouchers or credit or whatever for just getting to the final boss, then people could skip to the boss and collect and quit out without even playing the mode.
You don't get a pack for beating the mini boss... You're talking about the inning program showdown. I'm talking about the team affinity showdown. All you get for beating the mini boss is a diamond hitter and a diamond perk for your showdown run.
It is all or nothing as far as I can tell the only rewards you get is XP. Unless you beat the final boss and then you get five tickets.
I appreciate you all leaving tips and constructive advice. I still feel like if you play the whole showdown but you end up losing you should get one ticket. I don't see how that hurts anybody. One person said that that cheapens the experience for winning... How? You get five tickets for winning That's five times what you get for losing. Only thing I'm saying is that if you're bad or new or maybe you just get unlucky and you end up losing to the final boss after spending 40 minutes to an hour grinding The least you could do is get one ticket. One ticket is just three points in the program but at least that would make you feel like you didn't 100% waste your time. And it's an incentive to keep trying and grinding and get better.
Again thank you all for your constructive feedback and tips.

Because awards are for winning and beating something, not for failing. If I take a 3 credit class and fail but I went to every class and tried really hard should I still get 1 credit?
