I know this forum is saturated with Showdown hate, but I will add to it a little bit.
Just failed the AL West showdown for the 6th time. Only advanced past Hendricks once. 6000 stubs down the dunny (not including the rewards of course). I think it says more about me as a player than the game itself, but GD I am sick of flying out all the time.
Still, I'm a sucker. Will try once more and then back to MTO for me to get Gallo.

What is your best post game reward moment and what is your most soul crushing? (This isn't limited to '20 and I use soul crushing loosely, it's still a video game)
for me, my best moment was getting Trout last year after a loss, most soul crushing was this year, had Trout and Wagonman left on the board...Wagonman is a nice stadium...
Ive had 2 happy moments and 3 soul snatching moments this year alone 2 happy ones were diamind equipment that netted me 50k after selling and the soul snatchers were verlander degrom and trout
I'll be honest the Post game rewards are the only reason I try to see a lot of games out, even if I am just getting shelled, it's too bad the event's don't have post game rewards anymore because I think that's going to be my go to this year.
Yeah those rewards are why im on the usa conquest map for the 3rd time now
conquest has PG rewards?, I never play conquest.
Yeah, baby! It was after a Conquest game that I saw and missed Trout

Me again. I finally beat the second inning showdown.
On my 28th attempt. I can't believe how hard I found that one, compared to others who did it first go. -
I like these programs.
Have some fun, learn about a player, get a card (which I probably won't ever use), lock that baby in to get 20 sweet sweet program stars. Happy days. -
@Scarletgospel said in Playing red dead redemption...:
I started the other night. Really enjoying it. Looking forward to more of it. Been a long time since I've looked forward to playing a game.
I'm not sure how you like to play, but I really recommend taking your time. Don't rush through the story line. Go out and explore the map, collect pelts and skins, etc, do side quests (I think there were some), just do heaps of random stuff have fun with it. Then when that gets boring, jump back into the storyline missions.

I've struggled so so much on showdowns, but was never an advocate for change.
However, after failing on Hendriks 4 times in a row trying to do AL West again ... yeah, I'd be happy to see some changes. Still think they should be very hard, but perhaps not this hard.
Then again, if I really look deep into my heart after each failure ... the blame lies solely on little ol' me. -
I foolishly bought 5 headliner packs, like an idiot. As expected, I got zilch. The best was a gold 81 or something.
Then, I doubled down and got a 15 pack. Pulled Trout on the third pack. First time buying packs for about three weeks.

@Speedy44 said in BIAH pack...CF AL...:
I pulled him twice yesterday along with, right fielder national league...Mookie
Who is the best NL RF to pull? Yelich?
EDIT: oh duh, its Bellinger. m'bad.
-
Didn't even really need the stubs. So think I'll buy him back and just take the stubs hit. Chalk it up to a lesson.
-
With my Rangers MTO, I was lucky enough to get Yelich without even requesting him.
I'll tell ya one thing, I'm never trading for a SP (or calling one up). The locked on SP games starting at inning 1 just bore to me tears. -
Yeah, that happened all the time back in '19. Perfect excuse to dashboard if you can't get that hit.
-
I think what this forums needs is even more "fix this" posts. 100 a day just isn't enough.
-
Is there a way to set up a practice scenario for home run robberies?
You play enough, you get a few chances but I haven't yet been successful. To be honest, a few times I hit the wrong button and took a dive, looking like a real fool. -

I seem to be in the minority, but 52 points for an optimal Veteran MTO run is pretty good IMHO.
Btw, it's 42 points on veteran. Definitely not a high replay value.
Oh, I didn't pay attention to what I got in the past; but looking at the possible pay outs, isn't it:
11 per half of regular season (22 points), 5 points for the Div Series, 10 points for the League Champ Series and 15 points for the World Series = 52 points?Wait a mo, I reckon I've double and triple dipped in the post season. It's 15 points in total for a WS series win; not the earlier points. Ok. I'm a fool.
Ok, yeah 42 points is a tiny bit low. 50 seems right.
edit 2: wait, that doesn't add up to 42 either. Ok, I'm done doing maths for today.
-
Ha, credit card company! Yeah, let us know how that works out.
-
Took me about 10 goes to get AL West, and right now I've failed AL East 9 times - and have only gotten past the first mini boss (Sale) once.
I aint a great player, but I am better than that. -

I'm a relative newbie - I came into the game when 19 was free last year, loved it, so got 20 on the pre-purchase release date. I struggled last year understanding all aspects of The Show, but mostly just did RTTS and MTO, with a bit of Conquest and the occasional online game. I've since gotten a much better handle on it, but still a lot of it confuses me. For example, I don't really understand what is needed to get Mantle (other than knowing it is a long hard road).
There are obviously heaps of YouTube videos, however I find they all assume a lot of pre-knowledge about how the game works.
Can anyone recommend a The Show 101 video? I guess focusing on DD. -
Locking on to high fly balls has improved imo. It's almost a joke actually, it locks in when you are in like a 3 m radius.
Locking onto flies with tighter angle or liners hasn't really changed. -
I know this has popped up a few times before, but what are people's thoughts? Who did you choose, happy with that choice?
Catcher and Second Base are where I need the most upgrades, but I just don't feel good about Posey.
So, it's looking like I should take Sandberg. But gosh, I feel like I should take Reggie.
