I'm reading these, completely forgetting that I did the Showdown not long after it was released this morning, and didn't know it was required! Whew. Good to see Ramone is still around, though.

One would think that after all the heavy lifting Ramone has done with the storylines he'd be stronger and could throw a little harder, 80mph is brutal after facing outlier pitchers.

I hear ya. Whenever i would be early amd blow outs, I kept telling myself that 'he throws slower, just like HRD. Stay back.'

We have one mission that’s repeatable for 5k for 9 innings pitched…

And now this is a thing of the past

Although this has become about showdowns this thread is really about repeatable PXP missions! Some online players were complaining about doing conquest and repeatable PXP would solve the problem for those mostly online players. The point is that they are limiting ways to finish programs, and repeatable PXP missions would solve that problem for everyone.

They did it in multiplayer program which has been awesome like I said earlier no reason why it can’t be in offline too

@capardo_XBL I understand the frustration. It feels like Showdown needs difficulty settings.

I feel like anyone whos at least a 500 player should be able to beat every showdown (except degrom) on their first try. But, I could be wrong.

Def not true and again what’s the harm in adding a pxp mission?

If it played like a “vs CPU” game with higher rated opponents, those of us that don’t care for them wouldn’t mind ‘em.

The “sliders” are turned up for the CPU and are “turned down” for your team. I swear, I get better results when I use gold-rated players then when I use diamond-rated ones. I believe it’s by design.

Nobody seems to want showdown - bad players worry they cant do it, good players are completely bored. Ive always liked the mode, but it really spotlights the skill divide.

I totally agree with this. I put a post about it yesterday thinking it would ring true with many, but it got just crickets in response (a few upvotes, but if you agree, respond so the devs know!)

The way I see it, it could work for both online and offline players because you could make separate repeatable PXP missions: some for multiplayer and some for single-player. Is fine for SDS to incentivize multiplayer or certain other modes, but please don’t force us into just one path!

Even so with multiplayer they have the repeatable 9 inning mission which is great and now even I play multiplayer because I have a hope as a 400-499 player

They could have easily done the 2026 pxp for derby players missions into the program
