I was 'wrong' about the Mexico City Program Showdown

While you can still complete the program, skipping Showdown, because of the repeatable PXP mission; you may need to do Showdown to unlock players faster.
After doing just the Moments; I only unlocked three cards. And all 3 were pitchers. 1 Started and 2 RPs. So to get the next few cards unlocked; you need to get the 12 pts by getting 600 PXP with each pitcher.
That gets you, I think, two more cards. Two hitters.
This is where it gets tricky.
Once you get the 200 PXP, per batter, for the next 8 pts; that unlocks another player.
But you need to PXP that player AND get 2,500 PXP, 5pts, to unlock the next player.
Then when you finish that player's mission; you'll be short points towards the next player.
So, you'll have to get ANOTHER 2,500 PXP with the players you just completed, to unlock another card.
After that, I stopped counting
So, you may need to do the Showdown to unlock enough cards to start chipping away at the PXP in the program's Conquest Map.
My bad.

I can take-or-leave Showdown. As an offline player, it's sometimes a nice change of pace, but I will do a Showdown any day if it means I don't have to grind out 600 pxp for 5 different RPs. Grinding 600 pxp for RPs has to be the most tedious mission.
-
Yeah 600 pxp makes sense for starters but 200 pxp for relief pitchers would be much more reasonable.

I tend to play on rookie/vet, 600 PXP for a reliever is about three 3-inning saves. That’s a lot. IMO.

Why not just select the reliever as a starter in a 9 inning game? I chose either Baltimore or Pittsburgh or whoever i can hit and then chose a reliever because in a 9 inning game against the cpu stamina isn't exactly a problem.
-
Yeah I use rp as starters and let them pitch until their arm falls off then let them finish the game

Technically that's the same. You're either playing one 9 inning game vs the CPU or your playing three 3 inning Conquest games.
But I see what you mean. If I need 600 (why is it that now; wasn't it 500 for a pitcher last year) for a starter; I'll play a 9 inning vs CPU game.

Yes that is correct but I find it's easier to get the batters done in a 9 inning game at the same time where they get about on average 4/5 at bats as opposed to 1 or not even in a conquest game.

Yeah. I wasnt contradicting what you stated. I do the same thing. I don't like using SPs, that need PXP, in Conquest as it screws up their stats. And by screw up, I mean inflates them.
One 9 inning game with an SP gets you roughly 1W, 15-20Ks, and hopefully an ERA under 2.00
In the same amount of innings, in Conquest, that could be 3 wins with the same amount of Ks. Just feels weird to me to see a card that shows a pitcher that has 3 wins but only 3-6 innings pitched.
Just my OCD kicking in.

No worries your good I was just making my case.

This is true, pitchers need 100 more PXP for missions; however, they dropped the amount hitters have to get from 350 to 200. I would take that trade off.

I mean showdown is mostly on rookie and veteran and nothing daunting
