Agree. Nothing about The Show that I hate more than wasting several hours and couple thousand stubs trying to get through a showdown. I'm fine just not finishing programs though. I'd rather just miss out on a few rewards than put myself through all that irritation. There are plenty of great cards that are easier to earn in other game modes. Maybe I do a showdown if one of my favorite players is a reward but otherwise I leave that stinking showdown mess alone.

I'm having a major problem with check swings that is making this game totally unenjoyable to play. Even if I have perfect timing on a ball right down the center of the plate my batter will still check swing. I've read other forums and the consensus answer seems to be that I am not fully pressing the swing button-- but this is not true. Even if I mash down the swing button my batter will still check swing probably around 50% of the time. I thought maybe my controller was messed up, but changing controllers I still have the same problem.

Can anyone help me with this? I just can't keep playing a game if it makes me angry and it sucks trying to play a home run challenge when you can't swing at pitches right down the center of the plate. Is there any way to just turn off check swings? I'd rather not be able to check swing when I want to than not be able to fully swing when I want to.

First Event I brought my lowly ranked team, hoping to be matched up with a similarly ranked team. Instead I got matched up against a team of all Diamond players. I guess some people have the time to build such teams, but for a casual player it would be nice to play against other players who have a life outside of The Show. Don't think I will try that again.

It takes quite literally not even 3 hours to get an all diamond team. You know you can get players in places other than the market right?

Yeah, your right. A week later and I got diamond players at every position; but I'd rather they make it more of a challenge to get a totally stacked team. Many of the diamond players, especially the Topps NOW players, never will be Hall of Famers, so why give them diamond ratings? If they only had one great game or one great week maybe they could just have a limited time boost. This would make the missions a bit more fun and challenging IMO.
