It's just showdown, with extra steps, with an occasional actual game thrown in, but with non-guaranteed rewards. I really can't remotely understand why so many people seem to like it. I'm playing a baseball game to play games of baseball, not showdowns and moments. It's literally all the worst parts of the game combined in one mode.

@Teak2112_MLBTS You say that like it's equivalent. It's not. Remotely. Repeatable packs are in mini-seasons too, and have been for years. There was zero valid reason to remove them from conquest, other that to push their horrible new mode.

@BiigD008_XBL Yes, this happened to me once as well. I didn't think about it at the time, or I would have checked the app and seen if it showed anything different than in game.

The TA grind is meant to be just that: a grind. Personally, I'm VERY glad to have one back. The Pipeline and Spring Breakout programs can be fully completed with a repeatable PXP mission. The only complaint about the Spring Breakout is that 4 cards, and thus the collection, are locked behind showdown, and the cards are no-sell. That is a huge L. At least the showdown isn't required to complete the program, so I applaud them for that. And I'm in the minority here, but, to me, Diamond Quest is poorly designed and a colossal waste of time. I'm happy for those that are enjoying it, but I did it once, and I'm never touching it again. That is just not a play pattern that has any appeal to me.

@Rypien91_PSN I thought all the lesser ones were just icons. Guess I have to go look at all of those now. Thank you very much.

While we're at it, where is Polo Grounds and how do you get the 20th Anniversary uniforms? I've looked all throughout DD. Am I just missing them? And for that matter (not that it's remotely important, just confusing) there's a silver bat that doesn't have a listing. Is it from RTTS or something?

@JDHalfrack_PSN The last eight years has had one at launch. At least one of those years, there were three. There was no reason for there not to be one at launch this year, other than try to force people to play Diamond Quest.

@JDHalfrack_PSN You spend over an hour playing rapid fire random junk and then gamble on a single game as to whether you get anything or just wasted all of your time.

Breaking up the USA map was bad enough, but fine. Not having a single repeatable conquest map, something that has existed since '17, is completely inexcusable. Diamond Quest sucks. Mini Seasons is massively bugged, yet again (shocker). So that leaves Vs. CPU. Basically, we are back to where the game was in '16. Please give the people that actually LIKE conquest something to do. Most of the changes are great. This is not one of them.

Conquest is the reason I've been playing the game for 10 years. Diamond Quest is a horrible gambling time sink for the TikTok generation. How about "no" to all of that?

I doubt it. These cards should NOT be no sell. I hate showdown. I'm not playing that absurd showdown 4 times for golds, which means I can't do the collection. Just let me buy the stupid things.

Apparently, these have redemption limits, because reasons. SDS is still finding ways to lose, even though the season is over.
