I just wasted an hour of my life to end up tying the Rockies 15-15 and end up losing the Showdown. That kind of punch in the nuts is not good this early on. I consider myself a good player and I felt overmatched. My suggestion: make all non-final showdowns replayable. Let people grind out to earn the best squad possible to take on the final showdown. With a little bad luck, you can miss out on two runs and a Diamond LS card. It shouldn’t be that random, but baseball is. So put a little bit more in our hands SDS. Thanks.

If the rule didn’t exist butthurt kids would just IBB you until you quit. Just move one pal.

Could DM the info through discord. I would pay through Venmo or Paypal whatever you think is fair, as long as the logo comes out okay. Reply if interested. Thanks.

EDIT: I am trying to delete this thread cuz I am gonna post it on reddit but “I don’t have enough privileges for that”. This forum is trash.

@Ikasnu said in Baseball is too random for Showdown to work how it does:

What difficulty was that on

I think it varies from moment to moment

First of all, the new forum looks WEIRD.
Content
MLB The Show 19 had, in my opinion, the best content distribution that we have seen in DD. Lineup variety was achieved (in players, not player card type, which is an issue of mine that I don’t really feel like discussing right now). Events were usually really fun. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I loved Moments. I thought they were WAY more fun than absent mindedly grinding v CPU. Making Moments a little more user friendly and I think we have a [censored] good content distribution system in place.
Gameplay
First off, MOST of the new defensive animations greatly improved the game. Mainly the ones in the infield. There were some questionable buggy looking animations that would sometimes screw you. Now to talk about Hitting and user input. Pretty simple, pre 1.13 it was awesome. I don’t care if we had slugfests. The user was rewarded for good PCI placement and timing. Post 1.13 was a roll of the dice. Didn’t take me more than 2 weeks of 1.13 to abandon the game. That usually doesn’t happen for me until like December.
This year can be different
MLB 19 The Show had to be an Overhaul from ‘18. 18 was a one dimensional game on the field, and no one likes grinding countless hours for everyone to have the same team. I think 2020 could be a ton of fun if SDS expands on what were absolute wins for this community. Already can’t wait to get back into the action.
