Extreme Showdown is an absolute joke with this broken game!!!
-
25 to 25 final showdown vs Randy. Which include 2 robbed homeruns and 6 diving catches! Absolute joke!
-
The amount of time people are wasting on the showdowns they could be done the PXP grind. The showdown takes a lot of luck, sht draft? No chance, Sht RNG rolls?, no chance. If you don’t get a run early in the showdowns, especially the first couple you are screwed, pitchers confidence is OP as hell, not like 99 Greinke needs it against my common Micheal Papierski.

I mean, it's called extreme for a reason.

Not really. 25k xp is a huge time suck. I play a lot (only game I play), and am only a bit over 10k xp since program drop.
I "wasted" 2 showdowns before beating it 3rd time so that didn't really hurt my accumulation....Those doing it by xp will be grinding for a long time.

I wish they didn’t give the alternate PXP route and let the people who beat the program have the cards. I guess they also wanted to reward new customers that may lack the skills right now and the grinders for their time spent, which is a good business decision in my book.

100% agree or make the cards have a red diamond or something to differentiate..
Candidly they should have made this thing much tougher. As happy as I was to complete, I would have liked to see it push us harder with all moments on HOF or above and make all conquest games minimum HOF, maybe some on legend....It is supposed to be Extreme.

I was shocked that the infielders don’t cover the bases if you steal against the first pitcher in the 7-1 comeback!

Almost nobody is getting these cards strictly through doing the PXP mission. To get all the way up to Donaldson it is like 850k PXP. Anybody who can't grind through the actual moments and showdown probably does not play enough to get to that total.

Defensive indiference when you are down 5 or more, I skipped Nolan and used it against Randy

Every Showdown last year and up to this point this year have been a layup.
I like the fact that this Showdown is extremely difficult.
I tried once.
Destroyed Greinke, lost the 2nd boss battle, and realized I ain't good enough to be aggravated by this.
Heck, even the Conquest took planning and some strategy.What's the point in playing this (or any other) video game if there aren't some "impossible" missions.
We shouldn't be continuously handed 99's like some quasi-participation trophy. -

You’re right, because at 2:54 down by 4, they did!

I am at 12k just doing the turn based goals on the conquest, so it really doesn’t take that long IMO. The 3-4 hours wasted attempting that showdown 6 times I could have earned the one 25k pxp and probably made it half way through the second.

I beat Randy my 1st try against him and I stink

Dude I struggled this morning just to get by Greinke or Lieter. The one time I did I went five up and five down against the next guy. Must be an off day.

I need to figure out what you are doing. I completed the conquest and have played a bunch of other event/mini season/and conquest games and am only around 12k. I definitely don't average 6k to 7500 pxp per hour which you are referencing.

I finished all the moments, will finish the conquest when I get home, will parallel Wood during my completion of the conquest and save my sanity by not bothering with the showdown, I obviously wouldn’t just go strictly pxp route but I will use that route to slowly gain the last 25 program points I need. I am not desperate for any of these cards, the program isn’t timed and the cards are not sellable so I will slow roll the rest of the way to Donaldson and enjoy the time I spend on the game rather than manically laughing out of frustration from watching guys with 45 speed and 50 fielding attributes turn into platinum glovers. Showdown is the ultimate luck based RNG simulator, the few of us skilled enough to create their own luck can have the cookie for completing showdown the rest of us will choose to save our stubs and sanity and just play the game to finish the program.

Outside of one Game on all star the rest of the goals I could complete on veteran ( for some reason I was absolutely raking on vet, like way more than usual) played all the hexagons leading to the next stronghold instead of simming and those were on rookie which I was doing very well in, I haven’t even used Kerry yet. Honestly I just had a lot of good results, huge blowout games where I was batting around at least once an inning and that really helped bump my PXP up per game.

For true pxp's only, I don't think 6-7k per hour is possible. I get around 600-700 for each Conquest game, and those can take up to 15 minutes. When I play RS, it takes at least a half hour, and you might get 1,500. So I'm guessing 3k per hour max.
Maybe he's figuring in other xp's that come along with playing, not just pxp's...

Unless pxp is accumulated through showdowns as well i am just basing it off whats on my PXP mission accumulator which says 12k PXP and all I have done is the turn based goals on the conquest. So I honestly couldn’t tell you how I got there other than I had really big blowout games in the conquest. If I knew how or why I am there I would be more than happy to share but thats where I am at. Was it double PXP this weekend?

@JEEZY-E_MLBTS said in Extreme Showdown is an absolute joke with this broken game!!!:

It was double "XP's", but not PxP. Maybe that's what you're seeing. When I finish a game, I might see "5,000 XPs" gained, but PxP's will be much less.
