Gosh another person who wants the mode dumbed down for them. How about no? Embrace the challenge. Try, fail, try again, fail again, try harder, beat it, get better as a result, beat it consistently, become a better player. That's how it works.
I dunno, I know you’ve beaten about a trillion showdowns, but I find the mode gets repetitive really fast. Stage two is better to me personally, because not only is it easier to complete (so less time spent in the repetitive mode) there’s more variety in the moments they contain. Stage one seems to be more boring, as it’s the same moments in a different order most of the time and it contains a lot more nonsense than stage two, which is pretty straightforward, to me at least.
The problem with changing them now is that you have all the people, like yourself, who did the grinding as they are currently. While we don’t know what stage three and four showdowns will look like, it seems a little backwards that there’s a fairly good chance that you’ll play the harder moments and showdowns to pass the early stages and get the weaker cards in the affinities, yet it will get easier as you get deeper into the TA program and unlock better cards.
Well I agree that they're boring and somewhat of a grind, but that was not OP's argument and it was neither his request to add variety. He wanted them to be easier.
Yeah, but they couldn’t get any easier than stage two. It’s just strange how you have to beat the harder showdowns for stage one then they get easier and who knows what is yet to come. If stage three is harder, it’s just going to add to the pile of inconsistency that is MLB the Show. If you pick the game up on sale after the all star break you’d be extremely confused at the non linear difficulty progression.
Well put. The inconsistency of the game really opens it up for a lot of criticism. It’s like umpires. If an ump has a really tight zone but is consistent, most people will not have a problem with him.
Conversely, when the umpire never calls the same thing twice, generally people will be all over him, and rightfully so.
