Showdown

I will not play dq unless I'm guaranteed a reward for winning
Don't need a reward simply for playing. But if I beat everything give me a reward. Not going to play anything for a "chance" offline.

Give me Showdown ANY day over the time suck of waste that is Diamond Quest

I just hope they don't make certain cards obtainable from only doing Showdowns, I absolutely hate them.

I hate mode specific cards in general. Showdown, DQ, mini seasons (even though I enjoy those) and especially weekend classic.
I think its fine to have cards exclusive to modes for an inning or two, or have packs where you choose 1 out of x cards but you need to play x different modes to get them all.
I like the idea of the gold cards for people who excel in specific modes though, wouldnt mind seeing those rolled out elsewhere.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN no it's more because they are incredibly dull, they cost credits to participate in. and they are also the only mode in DD that provides 0 PXP for your squad.
They are a massive time sink to play through multiple rounds only to leave you completely screwed if you fail the penultimate one.
If you could atleast choose the order you attempted then in it wouldn't be as bad.
-
@Jay_Kimber_PSN I understand the PXP complaint, but I don’t see a problem with the rest.

I agree Showdown and Diamond Quest are awful. I only did showdowns if it looked easy or absolutely necessary for a program, and Diamond quest at first was interesting, but it’s a big waste of time for non-guaranteed rewards. Not to mention having to do MULTIPLE showdowns in Diamond quest. Just Moments and 3 inning games in DQ for a guaranteed reward might make it more appealing.

The only showdown I can complete is the beginners. I’ve tried some of the others. I’ve tried all of the “trick” methods posted by others on this site….to no avail. I usually only make it thru to the 2nd or 3rd pitcher. It’s very frustrating.
Showdown can go pack sand as far as I’m concerned. The fact that SDS puts cards in it you can get no where else is evil!!
I never did finish “spring breakout” collection this year. Again, the mode is just plain unsatisfying and frustrating. IMO.
-
@capardo_XBL I understand the frustration with no sell cards being stuck behind certain modes, but they shouldn’t get rid of a mode just because below average players can’t complete it.
-
I don't hate having showdown mission in DQ, they tend to be relatively short and if you mess up it's not the end of your run. Plus they are mixed up amongst other styles of 'moments'. Showdown as a mode itself however is just dull doing exactly the same thing again and again.
I'd prefer it if it was atleast a mixture of different moments rather than just at bat with players that I don't like using against the same pitcher.

Correct. These cards should simply not be no sell. No mode specific cards should be. Mini seasons is the worst for this because those cards should be far better than they are for the effort, and they are also no sell. its a lose lose
But showdown is still [censored]. I would be 100% in favor of a different draft style mode that uses your own cards, and has you pitch/play defense. Keep the current style of showdown in a less rng reliant version of DQ.

You do get a reward. Bronze packs
