Showdown
-
I like showdown but in small doses, primarily cause the CPU is cheap and sometimes cheats
-
Not a fan of showdown, but I agree with GoozeFn (for once
). No reason to take it out just because some don't like it. Just please don't make it mandatory. -
I like showdown, much more enjoyable and shorter than conquest and mini seasons
-
I like beating Showdown....
It's the diving plays against and RNG elements that make it awful. -
again I'm fine with it being in the game, but it has literally nothing to do with DD apart from once or twice a year being forced into a program. No exp, no PXP, and you can't use you own players.
All I'm saying is move it out of DD and into a separate section like March To October was.

If people hate the current iteration of Showdown, they would have LOATHED how it used to be when first put in the game in 2020. Each division had one initially and they were just incredibly tough with the RNG cheapness ramped all the way up it felt.
However, it absolutely was an integral part of DD especially the first few years because you could earn TA vouchers and exchange those for progress which was a great method to earn some of those early FOTF cards. There was also always a Showdown when a new Inning program dropped that gave you a pretty solid headstart in the program path if you beat it. Yes, it was always challenging, but OPTIONAL which is the perfect way to implement Showdown into the game and they nailed that execution in its debut season. The only example of where you had to beat Showdown to complete something was the Extreme program.
They need to go back to this model though. Do not make it mandatory, but make it valuable enough where players are enticed to give it a shot. Whether that's through program points, XP or a voucher is debatable.
Removing a mode entirely because some people simply don't like it is wrong. I think Conquest is one of the most monotonous and unavoidable things in DD, but understand that there are some who probably wouldn't buy the game if it was no longer available. It's just not for me the same way that Showdown and Diamond Quest aren't for others. I wouldn't want it taken out of the game though just because I don't personally enjoy it. That's silly.
-
@Jay_Kimber_PSN Then no one will play it and it will be removed just like March to October. Terrible idea.
-
Outside of extreme showdown, these showdowns the past few years are so easy that you could do them with your eyes closed.
I'm almost 50, play at an AS level and have no problems with them. Stop whining about everything or just dont play them. They are not required.
-
In 2020 you had to beat Othani on All Star down 3 runs with 10 outs and that was just a mini boss in the middle not even a final boss
-
They are not required.
Technically nothing is required, but the card rewards for Showdown are no sell.
It makes zero sense why DQ and online get sellable cards but miniseason and Showdown do not. Hopefully they reveal today that all cards in online or offline modes are sellable.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS So far, most of the content seems to be sellable.

SHOWDOWN'S BACK, BABY!!!

SHOWDOWN'S BACK, BABY!!!
Not only is it back but the WBC showdown rewards a pitcher every round if you win that round

It's the first thing I'm playing, only because that's where you get (THE RIDICULOUSLY UNDERPOWERED WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE PEOPLE?!?!?) WBC Skenes. I may not be the first to P5 him, but he's going to be my first P5.

Does the WBC Skubal leave your team after one game?

That's funny. I don't really understand why that was such a big deal, with pitch limits in pool play the starters can only go once, then in brackets you only need 3 starters and fill out the pitchers in the pen(I'm guessing unlike October baseball they couldn't put starters in the pen)so it kinda makes sense for him to go back to camp after pitching his game
