If showdowns eliminated entry fees and allowed you to continue from the fail point they would be a million times better. As it stands now the do or die is brutal and pushes most players away.
then what would be the point of it, it'd basically just be moments continued
Considering you are a flawless player I’m sure showdowns are no problem for you. Congrats on being elite. Most players are casual and not elite so losing and having to start completely over on showdown sucks. So, no it would not be moments continued as you would still battle bosses and draft players along the way.
Showdown used to be like that, You use to be able to quit out except for boss missions. They have made show down so simple compared to when it first came out in 20. Being "casual"doesn't entitle you to easier things. Cod doesn't just hand out the gold camo's because it's hard, stop using "I'm not good enough" as a crutch.
For me it’s losing to the CPU. I truly don’t mind losing another person. I have no problem tipping my cap and saying another human being outplayed me. I’m still earning PXP, paralleling my players, working my way down the reward path, etc.
Losing a Showdown or a Moment; on so-called “Veteran,” is such a massive frustration, largely because I don’t have as much time to play as I used to (or in ‘20, when we were on lockdown). And I have to play those things in order to get cards that are good enough to compete in the game mode I actually want to play, which is Ranked.
I know, it’s a me problem. I need to get good. But honestly, I’m not that bad of a player. My Ranked record is about 90-55 or thereabouts. I don’t think there is any doubt that “Rookie” or “Veteran” settings are misleading, though, because the results of inputs vs CPU are so incredibly random (Conquest on Rookie one game is 17-0. The next is 1-0. My swings didn’t suddenly get worse) as to make the level pointless.
Don’t knock yourself for losing to the CPU. One could argue beating a well programmed computer is more impressive than defeating some of the idiots walking around on the planet these days. Have you looked as social media these days?
Also, them putting these things on Veteran is oftentimes an issue if prefer playing other people. That level is low for someone like you and the pitches don’t act the same and then Kerry Wood maxed out on his confidence you had no chance with the huge difference is his higher velocity pitches and lower velocity pitches.

Definitely. Some humans are easier to beat than others. Haha. I’m just saying, on Veteran? With three active perks on every swing? That’s a programming problem IMO.

A lot of us HATE the CPU grind. Remember when you had to play H2H to complete certain programs? The CPU only folks complained and complained until they changed it. What about us? If I want 98 McGwire, I HAVE to CPU grind. I can’t buy him on the market. Make these god forsaken, mandated CPU grinded cards sellable on the market. Please. I hate this shite.
I agree 100%!! Every card in this game should be sellable!! If I earned it or bought it, I should be able to do with it what I want to do with it Keep it, collect it, auction it, QS it. My choice!
Would make this game so so so much enjoyable.
If the cards were sellable what on earth would the flawless and WS clowns do to get stubs? Whole sellable thing is because some streamers could only make 100k instead of 250k for their flawless and WS awards.
Too many games listening to streamers. Streamers DO NOT help your game as much as you think. Majority (notice I did not say all) are scum and scam artists.

Thanks, but I’m never attempting a Showdown again. The potential for time waste is just too great. I probably have a 95% success rate ever since they introduced Showdowns, too. But bro, I was ENRAGED with frustration this morning. Even just a 5% chance of that happening again is too high. I’m not doing it to myself.
18 consecutive outs is impressive.
Yea, I can only do this on HOF against 120 mph wiffle ball pitchers or legend which is worse.

Poor wording. There was a hit and a walk mixed in there, followed by double plays.
More importantly, there were some perfects and darn-near perfects that resulted in east outs. So I didn’t make 18 consecutive outs, but did make 18 outs before I could score a single run.

IDK if this was posted already because its a log. Thread but next time stack hero time, that’s the only important perk.

I think if it was All Star you’d do better. Rookie and Veteran levels are too low for players with experience like you and if you play ranked exclusively I assume you’re no longer playing under All Star anymore.

I’m not making excuses. Simply stating that showdown is unnecessarily annoying. Most players are casuals and not flawless goons. We play the game to relax and enjoy fantasyland baseball with juiced up stats. You obviously take it much more seriously and want to sweat it out and be challenged. To each their own but I don’t play games to be stressed out against the CPU. If I want to push myself in a game then I’d do it online in ranked or BR not against the CPU in showdown. Personally I prefer to push myself in real life at work, in the gym, or with my family. I play the game to chill out. If the game is “too easy” for the elite players then maybe it’s time to challenge themselves in something that actually matters outside of a trivial game.
so because I'm a flawless player i have no life lol, I work a full time job, I coach three sports, And run multiple youth grous at the MS and high school level.

Just hopped on for the first time in i think a week and a half…gave the TA east showdown a whirl, lost on Alvarado with some really good contact that went absolutely no where.
40 minutes down the drain. Turned the game off. Id rather wash dishes.
I’ll never give this game up but in a nutshell mlb the grind 23. Freakin infuriating

Congrats. You get a gold star. Test of patience for sure.

level.Never said you had no life, you did or assumed so based on the post. So clearly you know you are more hardcore about the game then the majority of players which is exactly my point. Congrats on the job, coaching, and youth groups. Doesn’t make you any less of a goon at the game or able to speak on behalf of those that aren’t elite flawless players, so like 95% or more of the player base.

A banner doesnt make one elite, anyone can go flawless or make ws, all it takes is having fun, i legit went flaws while having some noons and listening to some country! 0 sweating! Failure shouldn't be looked at as a negative, getting to simply remind yourself "I'm playing a video game" and the game becomes so much easier.
