    I haven’t played a showdown for probably 2 years until I gave the number retirement one a shot. Was super easy. Probably took 20-30 min.

    I do wish they’d add more variable things to complete though. More PXP missions but have some of them optional. There just needs to be alternative ways to complete things.

    For the record, I’m not a fan of this. I might have to come back to mop this one up at a later time. Lol those collection cards cost quite a pretty penny…..it may involve me having to wait until December, but those prices will need to drop substantially for me to complete this one.

    I fully agree with you. I think I read numerous complaints when people had done "useless" moments they didn't need to complete TN at the beginning of the season. It seems like you can't please anybody these days...

    I got all the 97s for around 21K a piece. leaves me with ten more to go, when I get there. Could be worse.

    It will get worse eventually. This was SDS saying if you want 99s in programs, you’re still going to pay for them. It’s pay 99 dressed differently

    I'd like to see a complete return to stat missions.

    Collect 10 HR in online play.
    Collect 25 TB in any mode.

    Like it used to be. Everyone playing this game has an internet connection so there's no reason not to. Get rid of Showdown.

    I've only been playing DD since 2020, but I don't remember having a program being dependent on having to buy a card or get lucky with a pull. Like @SaveFarris_PSN has said, I'm sure SDS will sprinkle packs in upcoming CQ maps and reward paths.

    That said, I finished Extreme faster than I'll finish this. Weird.

    Why get rid of Showdowns? I dislike them as much as anyone but having them add something just to subtract doesn’t help. Add the stat missions, keep showdowns, do either one or all.

    2018: Want that 99 Immortal Babe Ruth? Have to pitch 200 innings with his one of his mid-tier cards. And collect a million hats and jerseys.

    2017: Want that 99 Griffey Jr? You have to get 4 HR in a single online game (and hope the guy you're playing doesn't spite quit before you get there.)

    Also 2017: You want that 95 Tim Lincecum? You have to lock in the 88 Lincecum that was only available as a Ranked Season reward 3 seasons ago.

    Programs are so much more flexible today than they were in years past. And even STILL, people gripe because rewards aren't just handed to them with at least a little bit of effort.

    ... now get off my lawn!!!

    Basically, only way to complete this program is to get lucky in the pack you get and pull a 99 card. If not, then pay up the stubs to buy the cards in the market or grind 20 wins in event.

    I never finished that Griffey program. That mission was basically impossible without finding someone who was trying to get it done too and help each other out.

    You forgot about Pepe Alazar. The Joe Random with all 99 stats that you could only get by getting his stats done "ONLINE".

    That Griffey mission was a nightmare. I think you had to use the silver or gold card, right? I lost quite a few HR to dashboarding. I also remember poor Griffey getting beaned after his 3rd HR.

    Monthly awards programs in 17,18 and 19 you got the players in packs,I think 19 was the first where you could get some in the program too. 17 they were all in packs and you had to collect and missions to get the lightning.

    Requiring collections to finish programs doesn't seem all that flexible to me.
