I always love the responses: "It's easy. I did it." Or "you don't know what you are doing." Thanks for that insight.
I've been playing this game since 17, and video game baseball since Earl Weaver way back in the 80's. I'm just saying this mode is a little too unforgiving. I'd like to see a save feature after each boss. If you lose on the next one, pay the re-entry free and start back where you saved. As someone that plays mostly offline, I have fewer options for getting DD points. Don't make those options this frustrating.
I refuse to play this mode, I just do player programs and re grind conquest over and over and over...btr than that scripted nonsense. No matter who is at the plate and who is pitching, the AI WILL get the double play when they need it. And when you're pitching and the AI wants to come back, your diamond pitcher will magically lose control even with a green energy bar. And the commons will blast the ball all over the park, and place perfect bloops. I despise SDS for their programming on this, they need come competition

It's easy and pretty much the option we have so you guys gotta adjust.
If you're getting pissed off at showdown, what helped me, was doing it in chunks. I'll do half, go play something else or go outside, then come back to it.
You get pissed and you already lost.
That's what I do. It's still hard but doing it in either thirds or half at a time seems better especially when you start trying to hard.

Yea, I've pretty much focused on just conquest, and I do the player programs that give DD points each inning. I've conquered America four(?) times already. It's fun, relaxing, and not frustrating.

Quick question for all of you......
Showdown isn't repeatable, or is it? Wondering if you can do it more than once to get more stars.
It is. But it’s not meant for stars.

Thanks for that. I figured you could repeat it, but not get the stars. Just didn't know.

I know you earn your xp and stubs, but [censored] is it deflating to get to the end and lose. Just lost 15-14 against Kyle Wright with the tying run at the plate for the final 9 outs. Started out 15-6. Played OK all the way up. Missed a couple I probably should have beaten. But after more than an hour, it is [censored] deflating to come away without any vouchers.
Edit: Apparently The D A M N word is censored.

@JaksDaddy758 said in Showdown sucks:
What I don’t understand about showdown is why they label challenges as rookie or veteran but they play so much different and harder than that.
I can go play conquest, MTO, or vs. cpu on all star and bat around my lineup fairly frequently in an inning. However I struggle to even get on base in rookie and veteran showdown challenges???? It makes no sense.
If they wanna keep showdown this challenging fine, but I think it aggrevates most of us when we go in feeling confident that we can handle these only to find it doesn’t play the way it’s advertised.
I really like the idea of the mode and the way its set up, but it frustrates me even more than ranked seasons.
They came out last year and admitted that the moments labeled at veteran and rookie were not actually at the level. Midseason they changed it and moments became bearable. What turned me off was why would a company deceive its consumers?
Once I saw this it changed my view. I dont want to call it lying but if u can deceive us in one aspect...what other aspect are we being decieved in that just hasnt been revealed yet. Remember they didnt come out and say it...we had to complain and gripe until the jig was up

As a newbie to DD, or any mode outside franchise, the biggest issues I have with Showdown are 1) I don't feel it plays to the stated level and 2) the stub cost of playing the mode is excessive, in my opinion, especially having to start over each time.

Showdown is the best thing they’ve done since they added Br in 16

Y does every1 complaining about showdown have a telletubby avatar?

I am a completely average to below average player and I finished the 3rd inning showdown with no problems at all. went into the final tied 15-15 with 20 outs to go. If I can do it, you can do it
-
Showdown is really love/hate. When I'm feeling it, I can cruise through showdowns pretty easily, but when I'm off, I'm really, REALLY off. I've gone into facing brady singer with 0 Fans, after doing every single blue and red once. I still don't know how I managed it, but it was frustrating

Today I went into Singer with only 3 runs. Typically I have no problem getting at least 9 on the way to the final. Lost 15-14 with the tying run on 3rd and winning run on 2nd. Rough.
But yeah sometimes it's a breeze and others you can't buy hits or your the CPU batters decide to hit HRs randomly.
-
It just really amplifies the frustration. A double play is frustrating enough, but when you need a run and you hit into 3 of them in 3 straight innings on hard hit balls it becomes break your controller frustrating.

If showdown appear in mlb 21. I am not buying. Rip

Hate Showdown and this game... wish SDS and MLB the Show had some competition for baseball video gaming
-
Haven't been so frustrated with MLB in years. I'm not the best player and I'll admit it but for some reason I struggle with Showdown moreso than any other mode. Just seems there are WAY more lineouts, flyouts etc and everything is hit straight to someone. Enjoying it but just wish it was more consistent and the levels didn't advance throughout the same showdown. It should let you pick the difficulty and just adjust the rewards, makes it for everyone that way.
