I believe Showdown is fun and challenging. It forces you to be patient and trains your eye to swing at favorable pitches. And just like real life MLB players, even if the swing is spot-on, sometimes it leads to an out.
My only gripe with Showdown is dropping stubs as an entry fee. So SDS wants us to drop stubs on Showdown AND Battle Royale? GTFOH! You can't have it both ways guys. Leave Battle Royale to the YouTubers who spend their checks to buy stubs and Showdown to those who want to enjoy and improve for fun.
Otherwise, really fun mode. I hope SDS can remove the entry fee especially since now most of us are JOBLESS and can't afford to re-up on stubs with real money. I have no problem grinding for stubs but eventually I will stop playing Showdown because it's too risky and not worth it just like Battle Royale.
i pulled an 85 Trevor Story
I hear you man, I posted about this just earlier! My argument was just why have two modes that need stub entry fee? I never played Battle Royale because I knew I would just throw stubs at it and mostly lose. Showdown is moderately challenging which I appreciate, I just don't want to spend stubs to play a mode lol plz let me use it to buy packs
I’m a Yankees fan at heart but also enjoy watching the Dodgers. Last season I was really into the Nationals’ run though.
@iLurk84 said in Why the hitting engine turned into a cash grab:
For the first week of MLB 20 I was having the time of my life. I didn’t care about diamonds yet because the golds I was using were mashing. I figured it’ll be great to save stubs, grind with cards wouldn’t typically use if I wanted to compete competitively online. I knew in a month or two I would have to move on from the golds and budget beasts.
Fast foreword post patch 1.04
Now it’s a RNG fest covered up by user input not being properly rewarded. Now I feel I need all the best cards just to overcome the god awful hitting engine these developers tinkered with just to have a chance. Those golds that were mashing now can’t hit anything. The low diamonds are better just not good enough. The high diamonds mash because RNG.. so now I’m back on a race to get the best cards possible and the game turned into a job instead of what it’s meant to be.. a escape from reality to have fun for a couple hours.
And when it feels that way it’s much easier to swipe a credit card then to grind with golds because you can’t win or hit. And the next best card out you think will be the one that gets you back to that day 1 feel so you go do that again once the cards get better and better.
why don't we all copy this post and submit it as feedback to SDS' support page and sprinkle a little personalization through out? Since we're all stuck at home, it won't hurt
