Showdown is underutilized
-
What exactly is the purpose of this mode existing in this game?
Every other mode you can play whenever you want for rewards.
You can play USA conquest map over and over for rewards,Mini Seasons as well.BR,Events,RS all have a purpose.
Showdown is just here to be beaten once and it's done.You can replay it but no rewards are there except some stubs here and there maybe a 1000 if you go perfect in moments.
Why don't we have USA Showdown for example?
Where we can draft from a pool of every player in the game and then go up the ladder trying to beat different bosses(without those stupid moments) for rewards.
You can even pick the difficulty and that would determine your stub,pack,XP rewards and how many runs you start with.
Showdown really as of right now is just there for no reason.
Anyone else agree?

Because last year everyone abusived showdown for TA so likely SDS is working to balance things

Keep in mind that everyone on this forum loves Showdowns. EVERYONE.

Not me hate it, I can't hit on rookie or veteran

Any mode that keeps me from playing with the team I build for too long is an L. Good riddance Showdown.

Agreed. If I am going to be forced into doing moments to complete certain programs, I would prefer them to be in the showdown format. At least I enjoy the boss segments in the showdowns. Moments are a chore.

Haven't played a single one, except the beginner one. With this year's P/P with 93mph exit velo dying quails, not putting myself through this.
Unless the math dictates that I HAVE TO do it; nope. Cover Athlete program? I'll grind instead, thank you.
-
I wouldn't mind a showdown similar to the mystery map, get a 5 pack bundle everyone you finish. I, apparently unlike most people, actually enjoy showdowns. I find them a bit challenging at times, but I enjoy that and I also typically beat them. So that could be why I enjoy them more than others lol

I did the Cover Athletes SD last night because I got to 75 points and I wanted to get the last 25 quick. I hate showdown so freaking much. I was screaming, losing my stuff and just wanted to smash my controller and I still won all but 1 of the mini missions and I beat the final Ohtani with 10 outs remaining. It still makes me that mad. Too many "hit a HR" or "don't give up a hit". The only one I lost was giving up a hit to collections Mauer on a ball low and in, he late swings and bloops it into LF. Many of the others I won on the last batter hitting a HR. Showdown literally cheats you. I didn't do any of the SD in the FOTF program. I refuse to do them unless absolutely required. F SHOWDOWN.

They're usually not that bad, but all of the hit a homerun missions this time kind of pissed me off. I usually score 10+ runs in those but just can't get anything over the wall.

Think that was the year before….I believe with that setup you could do all the card exchanges and then collections immediately upon release and maybe a few moments/missions and then you’d be done with the collection reward part.
From TA2-4 I don’t think I did a single showdown for those programs.
For OP: they definitely would need to find a balance for it, for the XP it awards if you make it 20k-30k repeatable, then it likely gets spammed/farmed (I dunno the right word) and if you make it 5k repeatable, then for the time it takes the average person that reward isn’t worth the headache.
Maybe if they did something where you could adjust the level of difficulty and earn proportional rewards?
Select a difficulty at the start of the run and every mission is that difficulty, but you only get xp reward completing that level 1 time (so no farming rookie).
Rookie gets 5k, vet would be 8k, AS would be 10, etc. That would help support multiple play throughs.

Last year you could repeat it for Team Affinity progress. This year TA doesn't exist anymore, and so far showdown has only existed for chunks of XP and that gold card for the beginner one. We could see other player rewards down the line.
