This is what a lifetime of "participation trophies" does to the mindset of our youth. None of them can fathom losing at anything, let alone have it be their fault.

I am terrible at Showdown and tried it once. I beat the first two bosses really easily and was cooking on the third one, but had a couple of line out double plays and it went downhill from there. I decided that grinding the PxP was better for my mental health than trying it over and over with no success. The fact that stats in the mode don't count for anything is a turnoff as well. Once I got Chase Dollander the grind wasn't that bad. He contributed tons of the needed PxP himself.

I had the color issue. My main uniform color is black and the Orioles still had one space on the board right next to me, but their color is almost identical to mine.

I finished with $1.6M, but haven't actively sold any cards for a LONG time now, so the binder value is WAY higher than that. It was the easiest SHOW I can remember for making coins with little to no effort.

I watch LittleMan17, as much for entertainment as for the actual gameplay. I honestly get little to nothing out of watching other people play a video game, especially The Show. In Madden, you can sort of watch how people attack certain Defenses, but they pick plays and audibles so quick that I can rarely follow. Watching someone else play baseball really reveals nothing that will help me be a better player.

This is the truth. I had only played the game on my 65" television screen, sitting about 15 feet away, so my failures being able to hit were all I knew. I went to a buddy's house and he had an entire gaming setup with a really nice monitor. Sitting close to the screen on a computer monitor was a game changer. I could regularly hit pitches that I really couldn't even see on the television. I realized that I spend the majority of the time on the television trying to guess when to swing early, which means I can't hit anything offspeed at all.

@JDHalfrack I am a newbie to trying to use the app. Where would I go on the app to see this?

I have earned 4 spins so far and only had it let me spin 3 times.
