Does anyone actually like showdowns?

I really enjoy Showdown... I just go directly to the final boss, picking the players at my advantage (all lefties against the righty). I tend to wait till I get two strikes, but I have noticed that it is almost impossible to get a walk even when the pitcher's stamina has vanished. So yesterday I did the new one from the Charisma Program against Castillo and just was sitting on the fastball. I play mostly Ranked and Franchise (later in the year), but I prefer Showdown rather than Moments or Conquest.

For me the big thing is they said they will allow us to earn as we want and this year they shifted. 180 from it

I absolutely hate them. Am I alone here? They are just not exciting enough to grab my attention, but extremely punishing if you lose focus late into the run. And they don't feel rewarding themselves being that they just lead to program progress. They just feel like a frustrating uninteresting impediment on progress. I'd rather just do more moments. Or try something new. Showdowns are unfun.
mate - i don't like playing them but they are really easy if you are patient, and you get great rewards for doing them - it is simple work - conquest bores me to absolute tears by contrast - anything offline feels completely pointless to me
I mean ya it's Vet but just the build of the mode is unfun. You gotta lock it in and make it your main focus for like 30 minutes. You gotta dedicate time to drafting cards you either already have or probably never will lol and you hit pause to get the pizza outta the oven and come back to play but really you're thinking about the pizza that's cooling off and you just miss two and then line out and now guess what lock it in cause you're 1 away from the final boss and you do not wanna do this all over again. Like that just isn't fun when it's not against another person or for something awesome. I agree on the conquests as well but at least I can lose focus in that and not have to start the whole map over
man i don't know what you're smoking but everything you just said in your post sounds like a giant whine - pizza in the oven? who cares?

I don't hate them. It would be nice if you could get packs from them like a couple years ago.

Yes, I love them. I prefer the original way where you needed to build your team and do non elimination missions though. It's one of my favorite modes that it seems everyone hates because they're impatient.
