Showdown is single player mission just a different format

As a offline only player who sucks at showdown and failed it twice I bit the bullet and tried the event. It took me 10 games to get 5 wins. 2 of them where from players that quit. If I can do it anyone can, I am not very good at the game and struggle to hit vs the CPU on all star.
I wish more people would give it a chance. Even if you can't get the wins, you can definitely get the strikeouts.
The thing that gets me is there is really no such thing as an "Online Only" player but there is an "Offline Only" player but you don't hear the "Online" players complaining that they can't get the prospect players by playing online, we just tolerate the mindless offline conquest grind to get them or buy them. Or the fact that we can't complete some of the programs without playing offline. I just don't understand why "Offline" players constantly make such a big deal about, in the case of the FoD program, going online and tolerating it for a few games to get the Ks to complete it.
This does not apply to you @Pdoss3_PSN, I applaud you for tolerating something you don't enjoy. I am just lumping it into one commentOne of the differences here is you can buy the prospects earned through conquest. In the FOD program, you can’t buy Clemente. I agree there should be online methods to earn offline programs.

I am just lumping it into one commentI have played the game since 2018 and DD since 2019 and I had never played online before, I did not even have PS Plus. I really wanted to finish that program so I tried it out. I might try some ranked before my month runs out, doubt I will renew it.

Kind of like for the Schwarber July program. Had to complete the stupid collection for 30 pts in order to gain the 2 pts needed. Honestly, IMO it's easier to beat a showdown than it is to complete a collection of cards you sold without knowing the consequences of selling them LOL,
That was kind of dumb but you now know for future PotM Programs that you can buy the remaining cards that you need for the collection and lock them in for the 30 pts to reduce the moments/missions required. Then sell the ones you get throughout the program.

Shame on me for not even thinking of that. I completely forgot that you need PS Plus to play online. I actually kind of get the complaining now.
Edit: I have had PS plus for so long and it automatically renews every year. So it is sort of an out of sight, out of mind thing for me.

I had no interest in Schwarber at all which is why I sold them. Then he became a member of the Sox and I had to have him. Collected maybe 26K total and then ended up spending about 110K to get the 15 required. Lesson learned.
-
I’m not really an online player either but just get the 10 Ks with White Sox pitchers. Even if you suck and lose, you should be able to get the strikeouts with Carlos Rodon.

All of this! just suck it up and do the event. I got one win from someone that quit. Got my 5 wins and haven't been back to it since!
-
Didn't even get the 5 wins (Stalled out at 2-9).
Got the WS Ks, the Yankee hits, collected Roberto, and thank you very much!
-
When it was showdown or 5 event wins - it was a lot to ask those who didnt want to.
now that you can get to 98 and only need 10Ks or 10 H- thats not a lot to ask. -
When does this event end? I'm waiting to see if they'll add more ways to get points offline, but don't want to miss the easy ones with the CWS K's and NYY TB if nothing else is added.

Thank you. Better just do it now

Wait a second. The missions say ranked seasons, events, or battle royal for the White Sox and Yankees missions. Is that right? Since I've never touched ranked seasons, I'll have some easy opponents over there
Edit: it sure does. Got both 10Ks and 10 hits in one ranked season game. I do feel bad playing against someone clearly starting out with my loaded up team but if SDS wants me to play online...
-
I'm terrible online and it only took me like three or four event games to get the strikeouts. I don't like showdowns or online play, but it really wasn't that big of a deal.

I finally decided to bite the bullet as well after getting off work this morning, and try to go for 5 wins/16 FoD program points since the event ends tomorrow.........Took a couple hours. Sure definitely was a little lucky too with a disconnect W, and a couple quit Ws with a lead. 5 wins.
As much as I have sincere disdain for trying to hit online and not being able to time up just about anything with good placement whatsoever in addition to in my opinion having a very underwhelming team for this event having 0 All Star players, and 0 Stage 2 legend diamonds.........Another example of a self proclaimed not good player got it done. If you're reading this.......It's possible!!!!!!!!!!!
