What if you like the concept of showdowns but want to see it tweaked to make it less frustrating (cut down on the ESPY-worthy plays by scrub CPU players, make luck less of a factor in general, etc)? Or does that just fall under “quit whining” haha
You don't hate them, so... lol

Fair and I also definitely don’t love them.

I second that but I don't mind busting it out.

Put it this way... There are more things that I dislike about Conquest than Showdowns.

How are you supposed to get better playing a mode that doesn't reward you for good user input? I absolutely hate when I'm given a Moment on such terrible swings. Showdown is exactly the same. Where is the sense of reward? It's randomly generated. A monkey could beat Showdown

Context is important here. I don't think many people "enjoy" showdowns. But I do love the fact that they make TA programs so easy and efficient to complete. So in that context, I love showdowns yes.

A monkey could beat it but so many people struggle with it. I think that is a product of playing on the lower difficulty, the randomness. I can't wait for SD extreme to see if the randomness reduces drastically.

I do love them in that sense but I wouldn't hate them unless it was just a blank mode with zero benefit from playing them.

People struggle with it because they are not rewarded for it. It drains you. I've been there. Haven't even looked at Showdown this year.
I won't even try the extreme stuff. Also, if you play online a lot I think Showdown and grinding the CPU give you bad habits

This is 100% true

I chose Quit Whining because I neither Hate Them or Love Them.

After 1 hour, I think the statement "Everybody hates Showdowns" is proving false but time will tell. I think that the max votes for a free poll is 100, that should give us a pretty good idea.Quit whining

I'm voting (quit whining). I don't love them, but would much rather play showdown than moments or play vs cpu. to earn points toward programs. They are more fun for me than moments and about even with conquest. I should add though that the only one I've done this year that was difficult was the 5th inning one.... the rest I did first try. I think the majority of whining comes from not being skilled enough to beat showdown and not actually a showdown itself issue... no offense to them, but it's true.

I do wish we could earn parallel points in SD/Moments for the players we use.
