@yankblan said in Sooo are porgram points supposed to be harder to get this year???:
1st Inning Showdown is only 500, not 1000. You get that back after first miniboss. Can’t speak for TA Showdowns, but 1st Inning is not that tough. Barely missed on first attempt and easily sailed on the second one. Pick one diamond SP, a good CP and rest only boppers. Only take perks that boost contact after 2 strikes and when losing, or behind in the count. Drain the P by taking as many pitches as you can. You should get that 70 pts fairly easy.
It doesn't make a difference when they give the final showdown boss BS abilities, just tried the 1st inning showdown and was doing fine(went into the final showdown down 15-10) when all of a sudden not even Mike Trout could hit a HR off Oswalt on a perfect/perfect high fastball because they gave Oswalt HR stopper but only for that part, he doesn't have it any of the other times you face him. Only scored 2 runs because every single long fly ball would die right at the warning track, every. single. one.
Plus they upped the difficulty of the final showdown boss from Veteran to All-Star meaning not only is hitting broken but they made it harder.
