    Yea no way the reigning back to back 2x Cy Young award winner keeps hitting the corners and getting you to bounce into double plays. Has to be rigged.

    I mean the guy has only broke countless records the past two seasons in regards to E.R.A. but that has nothing to do with it. Has to be rigged.

    You're doing that thing again, where you're trying to inject realism into an arcade style game mode. He is a great pitcher, but even he never recorded 9 straight popups with the bases loaded while tied at 15 a piece

    I just lost to Greinke after hitting the ball hard for the first six batters consecutively. One went for a home run, but good/good, good/squared, and good/ok out out out.

    I think, realistically, there is luck involved. You can put good swing after good swing on the ball, and it is still possible to not succeed. Some of you will say, “That’s baseball”.

    Actually though, this is a video game. Eventually, if you do it enough times and keep putting good swings on the ball, you’re bound to succeed, but there are so many gates that will cause you to start over, and therein is the beauty of it. It’s just like a casino. It’s totally possible to win but the odds are heavily tilted towards the house. That keeps us all playing.

    Also it needs better rewards.

    A silver pack for beating a mini boss?

    What?

    It was a full pack and all your stubs back, but people were exploiting it for free packs, so they nerfed it

    So that was the one thing you felt like posting? Your first post ever on here is that?

    I mean, good for you man.

    Even Skepple says it’s a challenge. Handout? Good for you.

    With how frustrating this mode can be, all I want is when I get a perfect perfect 107mph fly ball with mike trout I’d like for it to be a homerun and not a warning track fly ball against a silver righty.

    It used to be that if you beat the blue moments up until the the first mini boss, plus the mini boss, you would get 1000 stubs and a pack. So people were playing up to there and quitting over and over just to get a free pack every 5 minutes.

    That may be the funniest SDS fan-boy post ever. Here is the proper structure of that sentence.:

    Everyone who's complaining, needs to really analyze how THE GAME IS PLAYING THEM.

    I can say that while Showdown plays a bit harder then the difficulty states, it is not impossible. But I only did the starter and 1st inning, my issue is it’s not enjoyable. For me when I’m choosing an offline mode, I want to be chillen not stressing, that’s what RS is for lol

    I see a lot comparing it to the moments which is fine in and of itself. I think the difference is I can fail a moment a thousand times and just keep trying. The moment they introduced paying Stubs to play I knew it was gonna be dumb

    I can complete them fairly easily, even did a few from 0-15 with no boosts, that doesn’t mean it isn’t cheating, it’s OBVIOUSLY cheating and any non WS player is still getting cheated out of rewards all over the place.

    There’s ton of examples but this is just nonsense.

    https://youtu.be/4gyQDlpDTfk

    People that don’t swing as consistently as me can’t have these types of things happen, when they earn runs they should earn the runs. Period. You already cap the level and consistency of exit velocity we get, ripping back homeruns when we finally do land the dice roll on good exit velocity is pretty laughable.

    What the hell SDS?

    Seriously?

    How long do we have to play this cheating mode until you patch it and make it balanced?

    I just lost to Degrom in NL East final Showdown scoring only 3 runs.I hit into 4 bases loaded double plays on pitching up in the zone.

    I hit into more double plays in Showdown than I have in RS in the last 4 years.

    But the WORST part of Showdown is a cheating pitching AI.

    NOBODY I repeat NOBODY can paint corners on the dots over and over and over and over again all Showdown long.

    This never happens in Conquest,Play VS CPU,RS,BR ect....

    It ONLY happens in Showdown.It's not that it's difficult it's that is rigged against me.

    I have beaten every Showdowns multiple times but I always feel like I am playing against an invisible force that rigged the game against me.I can't just be skilled at the game,I have to be lucky and pray the game let's me win sometimes.

    Degrom wouldn't walk him today.I had twelve 3-2 counts and he threw a perfect change up or a silder on the dot to strike me out.Nobody can do that.

    Fix this mode.Screw it remove it if you can't fix it.But I am being charged 1000 stubs to play a mode that is clearly rigged against the player.Mind you it's beatable but it's not only up to you.

    showdown is dumb. I quit a long time ago
