Showdown
-
I absolutely despise conquests and mini seasons. However, I dont think the modes should just be killed because I don't like them. All the offline modes should have rewards to them, and if you dont want to do it, thats fine, but dont try to ruin it for the people who actually do like it

- the mode generates no stats for missions (in a DD that has an obscene amount of missions always active)
This! I’m fine with moments not allowing stats but I hate showdowns not allowing it for program advancement. It is a little thing but if I have to come back down 5 runs, why not allow me to generate some PXP and stats for my guys, especially for program stars
-
@The_Bane_Event_PSN It's really stands out as an issue when every other game mode lets you progress programs.
If they want to keep Showdown in the game then they should just take it out of DD as it doesn't make any sense and have it on the main menu alongside Home Run Derby.

If they made the card rewards guaranteed, I’d always play the mode at least once. Maybe make it only at Veteran difficulty if they want to make it somewhat a challenge. If you play All Star, you get maybe an extra Show Pack, Hall of Fame a Ballin Pack, Legend a Jumbo pack, Goat a Chase pack. You get the idea. Some kind of incentive for those that want to play higher difficulties. I’m just not a fan of the percentages they put in. Why play All Star over rookie for an extra 7% chance. They can still have failures or successes in the moments and showdowns give positive or negative perks, just remove the percentages.
Isn't that just common sense! I mean the reward for winning a contest should be certain, not a lottery outcome. Imagine the reaction should winning the Super Bowl result in picking what's behind doors #1, #2, or #3, and having a donkey behind one of the doors!
Yet, that's pretty much the outcome SDS chose. People can successfully complete the same contest and end up with radically different rewards. No real world sports league could get away with such.

@Jay_Kimber_PSN Or just allow us to make progress in showdowns. Why is everyone’s solution to an imperfect aspect of the game, to get rid of it? Detaching it from DD makes zero sense.
-
In the presentation video it showed Mini Seasons, Diamond Quest, Conquest and Showdown.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN having it in DD also makes no sense as no part of it has anything to do with DD. If they really want to keep the mode then just move it to join it's most similar partner of Home Run Derby.
-
@Jay_Kimber_PSN It’s literally only been a DD game. That makes no sense.
-
Showdown could be better incorporated by having draft be based on cards you own, but the mode was probably designed for you to try out new cards when they release. Which moments does better.
A version of showdown exists in DQ and while I despised DQ last year I do think it has potential. Killing Showdown in favor of iterating on DQ is what I would do.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Giving us less ways to grind sounds awful.

Showdown isnt a way to grind though. There is no value in doing it outside of obtaining the collection fodder. They cant even be bothered to put good cards behind it.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Showdowns often give program progress.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN once in a blue moon they are part of a program. It's the only way they can force any relevance with DD.
-
@Jay_Kimber_PSN Maybe that was the case last year. Before that it was the norm to be attached to a program.
-
Yeah, before Diamond Quest was introduced Showdowns played a bigger part in programs and the game in general.
