Fun, just as much a pain in the [censored] as last month for me so far. Difficulty needs to be the same across ALL modes. None of this hidden difficulty stuff in moments and showdown, and completely different then vs. CPU or online, it's a dumb decision, and somebody needs to be replaced for thinking this wasn't dumb.
I hate how much of DD is designed for only the hardcore fanbase to enjoy. I love the collecting and playing, but as a below average player trying to improve, forcing us into stupid modes to get PP this way is lame.
That’s issue with gaming in general today. Everything is heavily criticized from both aspects. You have casuals who aren’t able to complete things and then the hardcore who complain about there not being enough to do.
That’s why I’d prefer a sliding scale for missions and moments and such and therefore rewards and some missions should be off or online.
I totally agree and I also wish they didn’t have exclusively online missions with no offline substitute. Specifically with the prestige diamonds. What does it hurt to have the same stat missions doubled and can be done offline? While still keeping the online option for strictly online players.

yeah. this showdown is pure [censored] sandwiches. 10+ attempts and can't beat it. Couldn't even get the 1 run against Justin Bieber when he showed up. OF's play Willie Mays defense, infield plays like they are all 10x Gold Glove winners. Pitchers throw nothing but dots. Gonna wait for SDS to dumb it down for us players that are not GOD players.

People hate on me when I say it but I can acquire a better team quicker in Madden because I can play on difficulties I want per mission. I still have tons of coins and training points and team ranked higher than ever for me in madden
Honestly I think this has nothing to do with difficulty choice and more to do with how much offline content Madden provides. The Show has improved it's offline content but it's still miles behind Madden and even a few yards behind 2k
I miss the days when sports game devs actually cared about putting out a product that the masses could enjoy and not just the top 10% of the playerbase. I'm old, have bad eyes and hands so alot of these modes are beyond frustrating, and directional is not a good option because well it sucks, only useful if you get a pitch over the heart, which offline never happens.
This game has teh potential to be great, but it has devs that don't seem to care about it being accessible for all. That or they are just too busy looking up prospects to sell in their stupid packs. This whole inning has been a major disappointment for me. I hoped they'd look at the feedback to Showdown, and not just look at the people who farmed it.
Moments? Still only the few points for Kaline....which is a terrible card and his program moments are also turned up way more then it says it is.
It's the fact that no matter what the difficulty says, it's whatever they put under the hood. No way these showdown games are rookie and veteran with pitcher[censored]ting 99 consistently and painting corners with no stamina.
I miss this game when it was actually hard. They didn’t have all the rng built in for the masses. If you wanted to win you would practice and not just expect wins handed to me you.
You sir are the player they are changing the game for and it’s trash because of it!

I just beat it on my first try. I got to Feller down 15-11 so I had some optimism that I could pull it off.
Crazy thing is I ended up winning and only getting one hit in the process. That crazy [censored] walked, or hit, almost every batter.
I don’t know if that wildness is typical but my advice is to stay super patient and only swing with two strikes. Even in 3-2 counts he walked multiple batters. I was proud of myself because I’m usually not that disciplined, for some reason I just saw
The ball well.Good luck!

Anyone talking about people whining is a joke and I could probably go talk to your family and co-workers to find out how much of an arrogant [censored] you are. People are venting because they care and want to enjoy this game. Get down off of your high horses and think about trying a little bit more humbleness. I know that may be hard for you with all of your perfection and all but please try...

beat it my first time and it said i failed the last showdown, haven't made it past the second showdown since in about 10 attempts

You couldn’t get a single run in 13 outs against Shane Bieber on Veteran?
That is 100% on you my guy, it doesn’t get easier than that.

Bunch of little bitches! They seriously couldn’t make this any easier. Just fucking practice! This is why this community sucks now!
Hey now, one too many beers. Get off the forum and come back tomorrow. I'd hate to see a ban for you, I'm sure at some point in your life, you've contributed something positive to other living beings on this earth.

No need to be mean. I had 6 outs left to score one run on the first mini boss. I had 4 perfect perfects, and 2 good squared ups to end the game. All 6 found gloves.

It’s not being mean. It’s being realistic.
If you can’t score 1 run in 13 outs against a gold pitcher on Veteran, you don’t need to be complaining about the game. It’s never going to get any easier than that.

RNG my friend. I'm glad you haven't experienced 4 PP hits that find gloves, but others do, and that's how it goes.

Only once have I come across the mini boss requiring only one run. About to enter final boss 15-7. F me, this better be it. -

Dude who get lucky slams everyone else. So it goes. Some people need to learn grace.

15th attempt failed. Including getting to final boss 7 times (and I did forfeit twice in the early stages). Last time I entered in 15-11.
WTF is wrong with me, can only get 3 runs in 20 outs. Only had three strike outs, so it wasn't like I was throwing them away.
