    Just don't play showdown?

    As a completionist, I know no restraint.

    RE: Anyone else’s settings get deleted?

    Yes, also note that it doesn't save in-mode changes: you have to change them in the main user settings.

    I Quit: Showdown Killed My Soul

    If they don't fix Showdown for 21, I don't think I'll be able to manage the stress.

    It was really the 8th inning showdown that did me in, as it was a non-stop loop of perfect runs 13-14 runs gained that were stomped out by Ian Anderson rolling DPs, Perfect lineouts to jumping IFs, or HR robberies or limping to Kershaw and dealing with the same.

    The 2-run moment that requires you to K the only batter you face is insane, especially given that you often don't even get a SP to draft. It becomes a binary event, where the odds of success are minimal.

    Maybe it's just this showdown, but they need to overhaul the mode, possibly giving you points for each moment objective you do complete. Overall, the mode is RNG within RNG, and appears to have stealth slider manipulation.

    I, for one, just can't do it anymore.

    @cosmic_wonders said in Must. Improve. Team.:

    Team is stacked but there’s some obvious adjustments to be made (infield defense, SP, lineup balance)

    @DanTheThriller

    New Lineup
    RF Mickey Mantle
    CF Mike Trout
    LF Juan Soto
    3B Manny Machado
    1B Stan Musial
    C Jimmie Foxx
    2B Corey Seager
    SS Francisco Lindor

    Updated Bench
    Rogers Hornsby
    Ty Cobb
    Craig Biggio (backup Catcher)
    Ken Griffey Jr.
    Travis d’Arnaud (no reason this card is on roster, should be replaced)

    Revamped Starting Pitchers
    Jacob deGrom (Team Affinity)
    Chris Sale (Community Market)
    Bob Gibson (Conquest)
    Clayton Kershaw
    Shane Bieber

    Bullpen is fine
    Josh Hader
    Giovanny Gallegos
    Mariano Rivera
    Andrew Miller
    Nick Anderson
    Kenley Jansen
    Liam Hendriks

    I can’t properly express my appreciation for such a thorough evaluation, so thank you.

    I’ll clip Travis and deploy Musial, because that’s a nifty swap. Would you put Ruth, Belli, or Gehrig over Stan the Man?

    Which belli I’m guessing 97 so then Ruth over everyone

    The new Belli.

    Degrom is pretty much free.... I’d out hershiser in over some of those as well. Just block off some time and do the TA conquest and 2 exchanges

    The Faces, 98 Orel?

    Your squad needs more Trevor Story man.

    Agreed. Again, could have seen that coming. 🙂

    Trevor Story Man sounds like he’s really good at baseball.

    RE: If your'e a decent player replaying every HR you hit in this event

    Some guy hit a 505ft blast with Arenado off me.

    I watched that replay, too.

    @lazy_toast said in Must. Improve. Team.:

    Yea get rid of Bieber like ASAP as well Gore. Other than that I don’t see a problem with your team. Posada, JT, or Salvy should be an upgrade at C. I’m not a Foxx man at all

    Turns out I take with Foxx and just felt like he wasn’t coming through, so maybe I’ll keep him there.

    Only thing I might change would be the last 2 starters very solid team.

    I think I’m going to replace them with 2 of DeGrom, Maddux, or Kluber.

    Maddux yes. Don’t waste the stubs on Degrom. Get Kershaw, or Madmax or Kopech

    Say that I already wasted said stubs on DeGrom...

    I don't think you need to improve this team, maybe your skills.

    I definitely need to get better, but I don’t know what I always make outs with Foxx.

    He’s become the king of opposite field line outs.

    RE: Mt. Rushmore of all time

    I think you gotta have Gehrig, Gibson, Johnson, and Rivera on there, but you might get pushback on the last one.

    Must. Improve. Team.

    I love this team, but I've been struggling a bit to hit with Foxx. Also, it's been hard to find SP and BP upgrades that don't require waiting in line at 1M stubs.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Showdown is Trash

    If they don't tweak Showdown in 21, I'm not buying it.

    Baseball is a game of RNG, and it's nonsensical to string RNG-contingent events together. There HAS to be a better way to make sure that you don't perfect-perfect yourself into a bunch of restarts.

    Maybe they should give you a perk voucher for each showdown you complete that carries over to a restart? Maybe let us exchange extra players for perks and vice versa.

    All I know is that I've grinned through all the Extreme moments and have 0 interest in lucking my way through a moment daisy chain with random players, perks, and outcomes without some sort of mitigation factor.

    RE: I can't beat my opponent AND the RNG!!!

    I was doing a Showdown and got all the bases done, except 1, with all 9 outs left.

    I then made 9 straight outs on good/perfect contact.

    We all get it lol.
