Showdown is definitely off.

I’ve beat like 40 showdowns. Sure they are a challenge, but haven’t been off for me.

I'm 8 cards short of Mantle. Showdown is the main reason why.

Each time you beat then how many team affinity points do you get? I am at 20 with Yankees so thinking of doing to get Torres.

Each time you beat a division in showdown you get five tickets. Each ticket is 4 points for a total of 20 points to be used for Team affinities

You get 20 affinity points. That Torres card is a beast btw.

I've noticed showdown seems to not mirror other modes, and not even CLOSE to real life baseball. Even on rookie/veteran you can get that RNG in a challenge where you'll get dotted up on the corners and it's very challenging to pass. Defenders make incredible plays, and a lot of good/perfect timed balls end up as extremely easy outs. I've noticed the snowball effect as well, and my current strategy (yes, still trying to beat 1st inning showdown) is to try and get the first runner on by any means possible. It just feels like the game rewards you more consistently with runners on for whatever reason.
Either way, Showdown feels scripted/broken. I would recommend either making the difficulty a bit harder and removing whatever back-end script/roll to keep things feeling fair, or just making it like conquest to where it's not hard, but just a longer time sink.
My two cents, may mean nothing to anyone else.

I feel ya. I am 1-3 against the AL East, 2-3 vs the AL Central and 0-6 vs the AL West. Ohtani has my number and the one time I skipped him, I ended up 2 runs short. I've given up for now and played MtO. Finished the Padres with that and now I'm debating between the Rangers and A's.

I’ve been grinding these and been having a relatively easy time beating every final boss. Started working to get Soto today and Degrom was dotting every pitch. Made a lot of hard contact but literally did not have a hit with 9 outs to go and came back and beat him. Scored 10 runs and had 5 outs left. The game rewards you eventually. Never stop working the count.

Yes
I have enough stubs to complete the whole AL for Biggio , you think if I did most of the team Affinities I would be able to complete most of the NL for Sheffield ? How many have u completed and did u get that far by not spending any $ just grinding ? -
Showdown has played just fine for me

Noticed something too. Hitters in challenges where you have to strike out a certain amount are far better than ones that have nothing to do with pitching
