Lol just lost a red showdown challenge because of 3 straight diving/leaping catches. The game really needs to work on its legacy issues.

Re: Showdown Thread
In response to the lengthier posts above, I’m not sure why you are assuming SDS miscalculated anything.
I’ve struggled quite a bit in the mode myself, but when SDS introduced the mode in the live stream it was presented as a challenging mode with the purpose of creating an anxiety riddled tense experience for offline players. I think it certainly has some potential flaws and is worthy of discussion, but a lot of the frustration I see comes down the the difficulty which by their own account was its intent. The Boss Battle is meant to be the equivalent of trying to finish off a 12-0 BR run.Comment

Re: Showdown Thread
They just need to balance it better. Instead of making it an absolute slog up to the boss battle there should be a little more reward to build our teams. Not much. Just less ****ty stuff like in the affinity ones.
I think they're really close it just needs tweaked. I imagine the mode will really shine when new cards get added.Read my OS articles: https://www.operationsports.com/author/corydell/Comment

Re: Showdown Thread
I mentioned it in another thread, but I swear the minibosses are harder than the final showdown. I'm 2 for 6 in the NL East showdown, but I'm like 2 for 3 when I actually play deGrom. The last time I beat it last night I just skipped to the end and beat it with 8 outs still remaining. The time before that I did the same exact thing, but failed a run short. However, I fail against Nola or Scherzer more often.
I'm interested to see how the new hitting nerfs make the showdowns. I'm hoping pitches are faster because I actually do worse the slower the pitch is in this game.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: Showdown Thread
The second miniboss is definitely harder. Everytime I get there it's score 3 runs on 10 ours and somehow feels harder every time hahaRead my OS articles: https://www.operationsports.com/author/corydell/Comment

Re: Showdown Thread
If you guys didn't notice...they made the showdowns easier. They will not give you more runs for the earlier challenges.
If you play showdown through the first 7 challenges which include the first red boss and you're successful I believe you get 8 runs credited. It might even be 9. The first red boss is somebody I think most can beat consistently so this change should really help guys out.
I've personally knocked out the showdown for Gallo/Ohtani/Bell/Gleyber and one more time for Soto. I absolute love this mode and it's such a great way for me to grind out some impact players to improve my squad to jump into ranked seasons whenever they tune the hitting a bit more.SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: Showdown Thread
I had a glitch on the showdown played at the Polo Grounds. Duke Snider hit a bomb into the left-center bullpen. He easily rounded the bases for a walk-off homer and met the remaining HR challenge requirement. The screen said "Defeated". I looked at the box score and he was credited with a Triple. So, I guess inside the park homers don't count in that challenge.Comment

Re: Showdown Thread
From what I'm reading they made them easier overall. They took out the forced pitcher selections and if you go halfway through you get 8 runs on the board.
I'll take that with a lesser payout all day if it makes the time investment betterRead my OS articles: https://www.operationsports.com/author/corydell/Comment

Re: Showdown Thread
I honestly don't know how to beat the Max Scherzer boss battle. I know I can't skip him and face deGrom without those diamonds, but I physically cannot get that 4th run. I just had a showdown where the cleanup hitter hit a bases clearing double to tie it with 10 outs, only to never get him home. It's cursed and I just want to get FOTF SotoComment

I firmly believe this mode is scripted. 100%.
