    TAs are just too much of a grind at this point. Especially if you’re only in stage 1 on a lot of teams. Think about how many showdowns you have to do to keep up at this point.

    You should have been grinding all along towards the goal.

    Same logic for prestige. If someone is a 54 silver, we shouldn't be giving them extra XP for being behind.

    Not trying to be "that guy" but I think that's BS for the folks that grinded showdowns and did tons of exchanging for TA1.

    I dont see how its "BS" when they will be for whatever stage you are on. They will be applicable for stage 3, so therefore, it's not unfair unless you dont plan on doing any further stages.

    Or, the reward for doing the early grinding is that you got to have those cards earlier in the game cycle and the rewards tied to the programs/events those cards were tied for? At this point, those cards are largely off rosters, so kinda moot point. Plus, if you have been playing this game for longer than a year, this is pretty much status quo and expected. Always also have to remember that there are new players that get on this game later in the year, and I can get on board with allowing those players to get up to speed at a quicker pace than having them grind all the way through each of those levels..... I mean, by that logic, one would think that the devs should have to start any new players on the first patch of the game and progress through the patches like us, then play all Showdowns on the original difficulties, hell, lets roll with having them pay the same market prices for diamonds we all had to pay...

    Yep, this is what I was going to say. If you did the grind before, you got to use those FOTF cards when they were still hot. Now with more content and 99s out, they're not as big of a deal, so if people get them now it's not like they're going to threaten your team. And you have a leg up on the next stages.
    For me, I enjoy rotating players from different teams making a push on innings used (not really grinding showdowns very much). Getting to the FOTF cards, 5-6 Future Stars and a few TA3 cards will be enough for me. So the catch-up is welcome!

    Plus, it will be nice to have variety in which showdowns we can chose to use toward the TA. I can tell you that part of the struggle is the boredom of going against the same challenges and boss. (NL east and central, looking at you)

    If this is true and the new moments added are on the easier side and apply to stage 3 then that does balance things out which would be good

    For those behind in TA, you still can do TA 1 and TA 2 showdowns. There's the catch up.

    "They're too hard". Sorry

    "I don't want to have to grind 1 and 2 to get to 3". /Facepalm

    I am not good at showdowns, I grind innings do the exchanges or MTO. MTO is the best way after show down but it gets boring.

    If Show down is to hard or frustrating MTO is a good way to catch up, A full run on VET takes 6-7 hours with MAX points = 52

    Agreed. Do MTO. Very viable option for those that need to catch up.

    I have been grinding showdown pretty much exclusively for the last 2-3 weeks work on TA and I'm loving it

    Showdown is the best mode added to this game in a long time

    As someone who started late and way behind catching up and grinding TA1.....

    No catch-up ladders should be provided. If I want to catch up, I will master the Divisions' showdown

    Not to be that guy, but you did get those players months before those of us who suck, so its not exactly the same thing.

    TA3 has a better Gwynn and Schmidt card than from the collections, i still dont have those, now by the time i get them they are useless due to better versions. Am i complaining, no because i didnt work the market or pay money to have those cards in the 1st week.

    Its the same thing as over playing for a card as soon as it drops, you pay more than those who have it later, but you get to use the card longer.

    I was trying to do showdowns over the weekend for TA2 after losing 15-15, 14-15, 12-15. I gave up.

    Good point. Yet the catchup thing still comes across as a participation trophy to some folks. No big deal honestly...

    I think people are stuck on the words "catch up". They said in the stream that it is applicable to whatever stage you are on, so that you can get to the end result faster. It's a good thing for everyone.
