    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.

    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.

    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.
