They’re already on Veteran difficulty
…I could understand if they were on Legend but cmon man.This is all I'm seeing on the forum lately, why are these people so scared of a challenge? They want everything given to them with no work or difficulty involved.
I hear you, but the way they crank Sliders up, and their way of simulating difficulty is really cheap.
One example are passed balls. You KNOW you're not going to be safe if you try to advance, but they bait you in Showdowns, seemingly pouncing on the slightest mistake you make. You may say that's done in real life baseball, but Showdowns aren't fair. Not difficult, but cheap and unfair at times. -

Man, some of you guys try coming on here trying to be the cool, tough guy and don’t realize how legitimately dumb you sound. Well done.
By no means did i imply things need to be “given”. I have no problem with the grind. We have all played this game more than enough to know no matter how good you are, it won’t play as intended sometimes…and to play through 5 or 6 bosses for 35-40 minutes only to lose on the second to last one because of diving catches by bronze fielders or perfect perfect outs just seems like it could use some reconsideration.
As others had mentioned, even having a checkpoint where you could pay stubs to start at boss 3 or something. Even conquest if you lose, you don’t lose progress. IMO, with how much time is needed to grind for everything else in this game, it could cater a LITTLE to those of us who can’t play this game 25+ hours a week.

It’s not the challenge my dude, it’s the time. Takes what, 30-40 minutes MINIMUM to complete a showdown? Run into some of these “score 2 runs with 8 outs”….yeah it should be easily attainable, but run into some BS mlb the show RNG and all of a sudden you have to start from scratch with nothing to show for it and almost an hour completely wasted. Just doesn’t seem right give how much grinding is needed overall.
At least then give Showdowns more xp towards programs

I have basically done a complete 180 on showdown since it was introduced. I hated all the blue missions. Now that they are all red missions, it is a fun, somewhat challenging mode where each stage is critical (obviously that wasn’t the case when they used to have a ton of blue missions). The kaiju showdown took me 3 tries, but that didn’t feel obnoxious. I wish they would tone down the CPU defensive wizardry. But aside from that, I really like where showdown is at these days.

Why do you feel like you need to rush through it?

Same. I absolutely hated showdowns at first. I would only do them if it were absolutely needed to finish a program but between 22-23, i started playing them more. I actually don't mind them now.

I think it was tougher when we had the moments to complete to get to a mini boss. This is as easy as it gets right now. But ai do agree difficulty ranking makes no difference. I hit much better on AS, so having it on rookie or vet is no advantage unless playing defense.
-
i will say that i am less a fan of all the do or die missions instead of last year where they mixed in moments with our showdown team that we were allowed to fail since I am not using anyone I would normally use sometimes I need to learn their swing in 1 AB. I genuinely don't mind showdown but I would just appreciate not having a do or die every time.
-
If they nerf the showdowns they’re likely going to nerf the progress they award. No thanks. First thing I did in TA2 was showdowns and then moments …. That way I got 2 cards off each division to grind the conquest missions.
-
I don't mind the showdowns, but I've said this a few times here.
The fielding needs to be nerfed. I swear to God that the fielding is set on Legend in these showdowns.
Computer makes every diving catch, every climb up the wall, 50 speed fielders are getting to balls that should be in the gap.
I've been robbed of more home runs and extra base hits in showdowns than all of my other games combined.
