Showdown gripes

In general, I like showdowns. They’re fun and it’s not mindless grinding. However, there are 2 things about that are absolutely dumb.

First, in offense-only challenges, why do I have to waste time on defense? Vice versa for pitching-only challenges. I get that there are perks that are triggered by score but at least give the option to fast forward.

Second, for the card rewards on the challenge before the final boss, why on earth are pitching cards offered? There is absolutely no point to do that, except possibly for Ohtani.

I made a similar post about this earlier in the year, and completing the Granderson program in the same manner regarding base running. Why do I have to waste my time running bases if there are no stolen base missions? May have been fixed since then.

I feel you. Like there has to be some kind of way to “cancel” the base running portion if you’ve already completed a “SB” mission. I literally find myself getting picked off on purpose or running into outs just to move it along quicker.

Showdown is a rigged pile of [censored]. I literally had an easy fly out to end a game. The cpu froze my fielder and let it drop. Screw job.

Carlos Santana can dive for a line drive like Superman?! WTF?!

This game is broken
