    Just finished a final showdown where I went 0-4 on perfect swings including a perfect flyball with the bases loaded that the CF caught as he crashed into the wall

    it’s awful. it’s doable, but pitchers sure don’t pitch like a play now vs cpu game veteran the bosses just dot corners left and right.
    not to mention i don’t get where some of these outfields get these cannons when tagging up

    Who hit it? O hot perfect flies that are outs of the guy has 70 power or less to deep parts . I get more mad when it says good ok but the ball is in the middle of the pci

    NL East I was down 14-15 with 9 outs left and runners on first and third. I “lost” 15-15. Haven’t come close since.

    I honestly wish they would just remove them from the game completely. Like a failed experiment.

    Idea is okay. But it should not be such a punishment, as it is right now. It should be a challenge but right now the end reward does not reflect the pain we got to endure.

    I'm loving the challenge of showdowns. I'm happy its not a mindless never ending grind. You really have to focus up, be patient and play the game. They are all very doable. Challenging? Yes. But very doable.

    I like the concept of Showdowns but they're pretty difficult. I really just don't like the all or nothing part of it. Since they're tied to team affinity maybe tweak it a little so that you get like one voucher for beating the first elimination challenge, an additional voucher for beaten the second and the the other vouchers if you complete the entire showdown. Right now the best you can do (if you don't beat the whole thing) is to earn your entry fee back and get a silver and gold card.

    Or maybe even make the entry fee free and then charge to go back and complete missed elimination challenges, instead of having to do the whole thing over again.

    The elimination factor should only come into play in the final stage of the event. This game has too much RNG for us to spend 1000 stubs an entry only to hit screamers to the outfield every time. Then we as the community get pissed off and waste our time.

    Got Hader to 71 pitches and he still had yellow energy. The mode is so fixed its not even funny. I love the idea of showdown, but its got a lot of tweaking that needs to he done.

    This 100%%%% never understood why there are mini showdowns. Like we’re here for the final showdown only. Its bad enough playing a mode that i don't use my own DD team.
