Tired of showdowns being mandatory

Made it to Chafin. Hit 8 consecutive 98 - 102 mph at'em balls. Just a ridiculously abysmal mode that is just an incredible time sink. I'll end up playing EA PGA for a while or something as I don't like Showdowns whatsoever anyway. I'm usually impatient in trying to get them out of the way but actually took my time on this one to avoid HAVING to play something I really don't care to play all over again. Waited out pitches. Dude had no energy. At'em balls the entire round. Frustrating mode to play for the time you invest in it.

Wow. Not home. What a bad decision. I failed the WBC one 3 times this week, and I always find a way to beat these.
I'll try a few times, but won't rack my brain with this mode.
The concept of SD is great, but some things that defy logic happen as if they don't want you to succeed.
I'll wait until I'm off next week and at least try. I mean, beating these are better than making love....well, that's a stretch, but you know the exhilaration of winning.
What's worse, is they canned the celebration animations when you beat these f-ers!! -
What’s worse is it seems as I am playing I won’t even be able to get past like 54 points I believe without doing the showdown in the charisma program

Thats correct, i did the showdown on my first attempt, it's really not that bad. I promise. It's that or miss out on the O'Neil Cruz amongst others.

All I want is O’Neil cruz lol so guess I am stuck trying it but man that is frustrating

They could make the charisma 5k pxp repeatable

NOTHING should be a requirement. They don’t live up to the “play how you want” mantra they love to mention. It’s more play how you want, as long as what you want is to be required to play how we ask, and what we ask is that you play every mode.
They can’t make fun content and haven’t been able to for years. They just get a 12 year old to throw [censored] at a wall call it a conquest map and give you 50% progress towards a card.
I can’t imagine how many room temp IQ brains were needed to make that Easter egg hunt.

Yep, not doing it.
Moments are irritating too, but at least they cycle quick, aside from the pitching ones.
They aren’t too bad but ya

Do we have pay 500 stubs every time?

Just use directional hitting

They should.
Pitchforks are out. The people have spoken.
What bugs me is the WBC program is kind of a Forever one, but we're forced to beat it by beating Showdown. That's poorly thought out. -
I agree with the 5k repeatable mission and the idea of play how I want this year has definitely gone out the door

5k PXP is worth 4 points.
Showdown is worth 30 points.
That 5k PXP mission took me 6 conquest games, roughly 15 minutes a game, let’s say an hour and a half.
The showdown took about an hour.You would need to repeat the PXP mission 7.5 times, or, roughly 11.5 hours of gameplay to equal the program points from completing one showdown.
I’m doing the showdown.

Some of us don’t have success doing it so let us choose how we get it done I don’t play online so I want the card because I like completion

You obviously haven’t used directional hitting lately.

Literally just this would fix the problem lol

I used it to beat the Charisma Showdown earlier today.

I have never played a showdown before doing the charisma one today aside from giving last years extreme one a go. I finished the charisma one in about 40 minutes tops. One of the more easier things I’ve done on this game so far. All add to it, I just got enough cards for my second set 1 collection pack (babe and chipper have been my choices so far) , and have over 2 million XP for the season with everything else done like TA, MM, WBC etc, all NMS so I do have a fair amount of experience going in even though I’ve never done 1.
-
These consistently happen every showdown to me:
-Every jump ball at the wall is caught
-Every play near the hole or gap is made
-Every outfielder has a 99 arm/accuracyI wouldn't mind doing showdowns if they'd turn down the legend defense to veteran, like it's supposed to be.

I do showdown too, but I’m offering it as an alternative, so if you don’t want to do showdown it takes longer. They did this with the extreme program last year, so it would make sense to do this with any program to have a PXP mission that’s repeatable, but if you do the showdown it’s quicker.
