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?

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.
Hang in there - I didn't not beat 1 single showdown last year, I didn't even try after inning 1.
This year beat about 30 Team Affinity Showdowns and 1st and 2nd inning on the 1st try.
I play them straight through without skipping, I've come back form 8 down. Normally I want to be 3-4 runs to have a chance (Thats why do the little missions).
Showdown pitchers throw junk right below or just above, and they try to get you to chase the slider.
BE PATIENT .... move the PCI up and down so you get a good sense of the strike zone, and just LOCK IN in the middle. Some have suggested taking a couple strikes, that helps to.
Once the showdown pitcher recognizes you know chasing the junk, it becomes so much easy. And once you get it, you just keep winning at a good %.
You'll get there. GL

@halfbutt_psn said in Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback):
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 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.
Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you.
I have just found that, for me, I would rather swing early in the count if the pitch is there. I like to equip perks that help that, like “clear for takeoff” etc.
Also, this kind of applies to RS and other H2H online modes. Taking pitches can be good but, at some point, you need to swing in order to hit.

Thanks for the advice everyone I will probably end up reinstalling at some point and try again
I still hold to my opinion that there should be a small reward guaranteed regardless. People talking about participation trophies and failing their university class I don't understand you. We're not talking about a championship tournament and we're not talking about getting your degree to become a surgeon. This is a video game it's an offline mode just meant to have fun and grind the game and eventually earn some players. I don't see how somebody grinding and spending 40 minutes on a showdown run, only to lose, being rewarded with one measly ticket hurts anybody. You who are much better at the game win's yours and gets five tickets which is far more meaningful. Who is losing here? We're talking about an offline mode in a video game here.
Anyway I've said my piece not everyone is going to agree but thank you for those who have offered advice and been constructive.

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?
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.
In the defense of those against you, your OP said you should get at least one ticket even if you didn't beat the boss. But they are saying prior to getting to final boss you already got your entry fee back and what couple packs? So it actually didn't cost you anything but time.

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.
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
See I disagree because if you make it to the final boss with 8 or 10 runs that means that you earned those 8 or 10 runs. That means you put in the time beating the moments and then picking out your players and perks and then setting your lineup. Sds didn't give you those 8 or 10 runs you earned them by grinding the mode it takes time and you have to get multiple wins. You would have to beat four or five moments plus the mini boss to go in there with 8 or 10 runs. By doing all that I feel like you should have earned and be guaranteed at least one ticket.
That's just my opinion I guess you know not everybody's going to agree.
Patience is one thing that people keep saying and I think that's true I need to be more patient.

I thought u did could be wrong prolly thinking the Shane Bieber one for packs, but you still get close to double entry fee if beat everything b4 boss.

With all due respect I don't think anybody is playing showdown to get 500 stubs. The whole point of doing team affinity showdown is to get the vouchers for the team affinity program so that you can eventually unlock some of the 88 overall players. At least for me personally I could care less about stubs stubs are easy enough to come by by playing any other game mode.

The get good crowd will roll in and chest thump. Ignore them and check your tv settings and/or get a gaming monitor. Otherwise, you aren’t playing the same game as the get goods are and it is much more difficult.
-
Key to my success in showdowns is make sure I’m as high as Snoop before I play. Only way
-
I'm also new, bad at this game, but I don't mind how showdown is done, it's beatable.
I believe their online mode needs a redesign though, to help new players. It's too random, find myself matched against vastly superior players way too often. We need a league pyramid type system. Put all us trash players in the bottom league, we can have some enjoyable games against each other. Put the good players in the top league with better rewards.
Playing against similar skilled players is the best way of improving. It's disheartening for a new player to be matched against experienced skilled players, that's only going to turn new players away from the game.

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.
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?
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.
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
See I disagree because if you make it to the final boss with 8 or 10 runs that means that you earned those 8 or 10 runs. That means you put in the time beating the moments and then picking out your players and perks and then setting your lineup. Sds didn't give you those 8 or 10 runs you earned them by grinding the mode it takes time and you have to get multiple wins. You would have to beat four or five moments plus the mini boss to go in there with 8 or 10 runs. By doing all that I feel like you should have earned and be guaranteed at least one ticket.
That's just my opinion I guess you know not everybody's going to agree.
Patience is one thing that people keep saying and I think that's true I need to be more patient.
I understand what you are saying, but the runs you get to close the lead for the final boss, is the reward for beating the smaller missions. You still get stuff along the way, but the point of the mode is to beat the final boss. If you dont beat the final boss in gaming, you didnt beat the game. You can spend hours trying to beat (insert whatever game you want here) but you cant claim you beat the game without the end credits.
So no, I dont think anyone should get vouchers for not beating the final boss. That's the whole point of the mode.

Dude youre better off going into a showdown and looking at it as much needed practice and if you get rewards then cool. But it'll only benefit you in the long run

This is what I do I'm a 500-600 level player myself - if you use directional for Ranked games don't - practice with zone and that will help your hitting , learn what players you're good with and stick with them not everyone has the same result for instance most people I play against rake with the POTM Buxton - i cannot hit with him so I don't bother. When doing showdowns or moments use directional its much easier to hit the computer controlled teams - now they only time I use zone is for the junk ballers - like Wainwright or Smily. In showdown draft high power guys it'll help.
Hope this helps

I reinstalled the game today lol because I'm addicted.
I'm going to try some of the feedback that you guys have given. I do still wish that they would add a small something for your time but I guess we will see if they read and if they agree with me or not.
Either way clearly I just need to get better.
