    Reached post season dynamic to legend / legend. Didn’t want to risk losing affinity points for a series loss. Lowering your difficulty locks you at beginner. So mad, I wanted to go down 1 to HOF but didn’t read the fine print I guess. What a boring post season. So got 16/16/4/8/12 total points for 10 hours of gameplay. Bologna! Showdown is quicker points and more fun IMO

    It's been a known bug (I assume that it is a bug) since day one.

    Yeah, that is the only drawback, but if you are going to lose, then dropping is the only guarantee to get points. The penalty is that its beginner points.

    Pretty sure this is only for Dynamic. I started on Hall of Fame and lowered to All-Star in the ALCS and World Series and got the All-Star level rewards. for both.

    I have the same dilemma. I normally play on all star (or if needed HOF), and now dynamic difficulty has taken me up to hall of fame / legend. Since I'm definitely winning the division i'm going to keep it on dynamic untill the end of the season, but if the postseason challengers are tough I will lower the difficulty to beginner to guarantee me the team affinity points.

    You still got 56 pts though, right? Isn't that enough to get you the FOTF card?

    @Psycho__Kinetic yeah I got Soto with it. But for 10 hrs of gameplay it wasn’t worth the time. 5.6 point per hr. Round it to 6 point an hr cause of my F up.

    Showdown takes about mb 90 min average if you don’t skip and nets me 20 points. 13.3 points per hr. Not factoring the failure rate time, still higher then 6pt / per hour. Think I’m 11 for 17 win/attempts

    I’m impressed that you’re quantifying it all. Seeing the game from a different angle, never considered that. I’m just having fun playing! (But I don’t play the DD modes)
