    By far the worst mode online or offline in The Show is Showdown. It caters to a very select few players who are able to beat it the rest of us can't. The amount of Runs needed vs Outs allowed is so disproportionate its insane. Now you've locked an entire Program behind being able to beat that Showdown and thats just unacceptable as me and plenty of other players will now be unable to complete that Program. This is the worst Show game ever made and the Devs have absolutely no clue because you cater to small fraction of players vs the majority. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE, take Showdown away or make it actually beatable.

    My two suggestions for Showdown are:

    1. Turn down the sliders. Or whatever it is that makes pitchers dot, fielders all be Gold glovers and our higher rated cards be nerfed.
    1. Let us choose the difficulty. Give an appropriate reward for playing at that difficulty. Jacob Degrom Showdown for example (I’ll never get it nor attempt it), give a 99 for highest rated difficulty level and work down to Rookie. At least, I’d get the card for a collection.

    @WackyGrass_PSN I’d bet that the majority of players can beat showdowns. Wanting an entire mode to be removed because you aren’t very good is selfish and frankly, dumb. I’m all for making these cards sellable, so you aren’t locked out from getting them, but taking things away is almost never the answer. I want more things to do, not less. They already removed RTTS and MTO. Let’s not encourage them to continue to give us less options. Go practice.

    Meanwhile, Im over here wanting showdown to be playable on hall of fame or legend, and not this boring veteran stuff, lol

    But I agree with - always make rewards sellable

    Yeah just make them sellable. If they removed everything that someone thought was too hard there would be nothing left.

    It took me two attempts, but there were times that Ramone was like Maddux with how he was dotting like crazy.

    @rubicante23_PSN The Degrom one was a nice change and it gives us options to earn stubs.

    @dmc04005_PSN Everyone is at different skill levels.

    It was pretty comfortable for me, but that doesn't mean i'm going to belittle the opinions of those who struggled with or don't like the concept.

    I don’t mind it as an option just make it option and the rewards sellable even if it’s up to a limit but don’t force me to play it

    I just wish that they wouldn't force us to do showdown to complete the program, just put a repeatable mission in there to make it easier for people who don't like or have trouble doing showdowns

    @NotesOfJohn_PSN I’m not belittling anyone’s opinion. But this one is a common pitcher on rookie. It’s far from impossible.

    @GoozeFn_PSN I think you are starting to understand why I have the attitude I have towards some of this community. Get better at the game. Stop trying to have them take away things is exactly correct.

    Some of us can’t play all day long and get better… it’s a hobby where I can only play at night and want to use my favorite players

    @nymets1987_PSN ok so if you dont play often, even more reason to not make remarks that take away things from people who do play often.

    This season has been so backwards. Almost every program includes multiple ways to complete them, why is this one different? The all star “program” only needed a conquest to complete, not a single mission or moment. Why take away those options? Why not have 4HRD moments for 5 points each or an online PXP mission for the points in addition to showdown. Give us options. This is just backwards and not user friendly.

    @Jeff7407_PSN why make it to where you get to play conquest and complete it while others have to do multiple things. If anything they messed up with giving the entire program for conquest.

    I’m all for dragging this game in the mud it’s deserved but even I think you sound entitled. Take a game mode out because you suck is the most Gen Z response ever. Get rid of diamond quest that mode is a joke. How do you justify spending over an hour on a mode to get a silver card playing on HOF!!! If I wanted to play dungeons and dragons I would have bought that!!! If I beat the mode I should get the reward not have a 70-80% chance of HOF or better and get nothing meaningful.
