Showdown has got to go

Genuinely curious, what kind of modes do you propose should take the place of Moments and Showdown? Or do you just want them gone completely from the game? I kinda quit doing Showdowns after I completed TA1 so I don't have much comment there. To me Moments are a very easy way to gain progress on programs and are the things I always knock out first, so I personally don't really understand the seemingly community-wide hatred for Moments.
I think they should just be gone completely. I will say moments have been easier this year (difficult ones were still beatable) but they are more of a "have to" than "want to". I really enjoy the stat missions. I think they should incorporate more of those. With stat missions you get to play the mode you want while gaining progress. You don't get bored with repeating the difficult moments over and over, you just have a guy in your lineup. For the online players that complain of the repetitive lineups and pitchers, it would force some parity to accomplish those missions.

I just got passed all the mini bosses and I’m about to start the missions worth 3 runs for the FOD showdown. Are these missions going to be harder? Do you guys have any tips for these missions or any tips overall? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
-
It irks me that they sold the FOD program as good ol’ baseball, build it and they will come, and all that, then turn their backs on offline players who don’t care for showdown.
I avoid showdown like the plague. Moments already make me mad as a hornet, and Showdown is that times ten.

They are all on Veteran. The actual missions are roughly the same as before. It is just the randomness of showdown that will get you.

I got Clemente in 15 online wins. No Conquest. No Showdown. Just stat missions. EZPZ

Easy for you. Those that hate online play for a variety of reasons will find it to be hell. I would guess there are modes you would hate to play even though they may be “easy”.

Play another human being that you can think along with or beat your head against the wall playing Showdown? EZPZ

Again, “easy” is subjective. There’s no sense in having a discussion with you. You are just a troll with a superiority complex.

I cant wait for the post regarding Extreme Conquest and Showdown which i imagine should be eliminated also. I play both online and offline and even franchise.

I wouldn’t complain about either as I know ahead of time I won’t bother with it. With this program, they snuck in the showdown or online requirement to finish the program.

When you have to play 30 games to get 5 wins its certainly not necessarily easy. Just because you're good at the game or don't suffer from the swinging an oar underwater issue doesn't mean it's easy for everyone.
-
It's not like the only option is Showdown... you could skip showdown and play online for the points or skip online and play showdown. I like showdown a lot better than moments. They are never going to just giveaway 99s.... you have to play a little bit to earn them.

Stop trying to force these modes that people hate on us. They should be optional to complete a program (for offline players). Moments are the worst. No one says, "I can't wait for more moments". They say, "I HAVE to do these real quick to get back to playing what I actually enjoy".
If you're going to force showdown on us, you can't let disconnects lead to not getting the runs or failing completely. This has happened to me several times. For a casual player like me, runs are crucial. Maybe I am wrong and just venting because I hate this mode and it is causing me stress that I won't complete a program but I think I have some valid points that SDS needs to hear.I believe SDS is merely trying to spread some variety to the many diverse gamers out here and their ever spanning thirst for quantity not quality.
Just give Showdown a chance. The Devs are doing the best they can to be creative and accommodating to all. It's a tightrope they must walk.

People have been giving Showdown a chance for 2 years now. Opinions aren't going to change.
You can give people options without forcing them to play a mode they hate.

I have played that showdown five times now. Three times I failed the first mini boss. The other two I failed at the second mini boss. So much time wasted for nothing. Go ahead and flame me for being bad at the game. I never sniffed online to bother anyone else online playing the game. I have zero issues doing more moments (which I know many players hate) or higher stat missions to make up for it.

I don't disagree with your convictions. Some people, evidently, enjoy this mode. Perhaps if enough folks like you share your desire to retire the mode or, at least, to minimize it's necessity it may happen.
I believe the Devs listen to a lot of the chatter in here. The more widely held convictions and suggestions are likely prioritized by the team for focus in future releases.

The point is that we don't play online. They made showdown our only option.

For a second there I thought your screen name was Ray Lewis 187. Remember that knife thing?

Exactly! That’s what infuriates me.
