BEST OF 2022 SHOWDOWN SCRIMMAGE FEEDBACK

not bad really nice variety to choose from in prizwall, i wish coins where worth 50 or 100 for collecting showdown down coins, wish solo points where more aswell to compensate other events player's cant get, not bad, l need more of this for each era.

It's basically impossible for me to progress, as my showdown opponents always have a lot lower notoriety points than I do, so I'm losing notoriety faster than I can gain it. It forces me to try to get revenge on opponents who beat me, usually with far higher notoriety than I have.

I wish the choices for opponents in showdown (especially for contests like this) were like goldilocks and the three bears. One low, one high, one about the same.

I tried my luck just to see if it would be better than what i have received the last 4 or 5 times i actually paid for loot coins during an event i bought 4 of the and every one was just 20 shards. The paid loot shouldn't be so full of shards and things you'd use in the store. I also couldn't get a single event bonus from the event matches since the required Superstars are so rare. It really feels like the only way to get anywhere on these events is spend an outrageous amount of $

The showdown event was a little better bonus wise but the event matches didn't help with the reward points i didn't like that changw

This event has been regular the showdown adds very little which makes it almost impossible to reach 6 star tokens they must make the 6 star tokens accessible

The tours have very few faction points and there are no bags with passing coins there is almost no chance of getting a single silver or bronze coin

Suggestions for an upcoming showdown

more possibility of reaching better rewards in individual or faction milestones without having to spend money not all people have money to spend

practically this showdown event seemed more like an event to spend money than to play worry more about the game I hope they improve it and that the 6 star tours are more accessible without the need to spend money or that if you have to spend money but on the prizes finals

The truth is that I expected a lot from this event, it looked good, it was a good idea poorly executed, I hope it improves, regards

Best of 2022 tour: Pro it was nice that you allowed a variety of superstars to use as the bonus characters.

con: again not everyone has all those characters

Showdown Event: Pro, love these events as it allows me to gain showdown coins faster compared to about 1600 per day which is too slow if you are still trying to obtain the promoters like I am.

con: with no promoter it’s extremely difficult to move up as you lose more than you gain. Plus majority of the time I get matched up with people who are lower than me so it takes even longer to gain the points to move up. So I’ll gain 10 while losing 20 and so on

Prize Wall: pro it’s nice to see a variety of options: characters, gear, etc.

con: prizes all are always a spending event. impossible to get anything worth while if you don’t spend to agin the points needed to get something we actually want or need

My constructive feedback has to do with Showdown Refresh option. There are instances where I am trying to use my less talented roster to gain contest points, but toward to end of the event I am constantly facing 6SB opponents that makes it almost impossible to grind through the event. I have used the refresh option many times to try to cycle a lower-talented opponent that I may be able to compete against and win. My suggestion is to make a “premium refresh” option that draws opponents with a +/- 15% range of the selected superstars. It could be considerable more expensive - instead of 2500 coins, maybe 250,000 starting. It would at least offer a practical option for folks to power through the event and negate the “this is impossible argument.”

Pros: it was nice to be able to do 40 pulls for $20 (really 47 but y0u know what I mean). I know it was a mistake but it would be great if scopely made something like this available every so often on purpose. Limit it to 1 a person. You'll get a ton of sales.

I also honestly didn't have a problem with the milestone rewards. Other then somehow I got 3 copies of the same ultimate strap.

The bags were good for me. I got a bunch of shards of people I already have, but I also got quite a few of rare superstars and people I don't have.

Cons: it's weird the showdown coins are worth so little for a showdown event.

Most of the css were very rare which is unfortunately becoming more common.

Lastly, the prizewall sucks. You have to get an absurd amount of medallions to get anything remotely useful. Hardly anyone can get anything besides coins and tp. You also couldn't get any shards or posters with the medallions which makes no sense.

Showdown evaluation 3/10

-most unattractive thing was how HIGH everything was. Considering what other prizewalls have been you've been steadily increasing prices with lessening the rewards for the last few showdowns.

-another paywalled event was not surprising but the amount you had to pay was crazy!

-Faction event wise event though you let the talent up have htm rhea and priest in there the super rare stars only giving points was bad. Real bad. Real lackluster event which seems to be the norm now.

POSITIVE note- thr 47 pulls for $20 was welcomes. Even if it's crap pulls I'd rather spend $20 than $99

The structure of the contest was a good one. The issue with the loot coins however over shadowed the contest. The fact that some persons were able to purchase multiple mega pulls at $20.00 and others only one pull while better than previously when errors happen was still not fair to those who only had one opportunity. Also customer service not giving back to extra pulls to everyone just some has also created a level on unfair treatment. I was negatively impacted by this.

Honestly? Thought the event idea wasn't too bad. A little shaky, but what else is new?

Good things:

I know some people would disagree, but no new character this week? Kinda don't mind! I actually enjoy the idea of having a weekend where you can take something like SD and give people the opportunity to catch up and close out the shards on some people you may have missed. Obviously, you couldn't really do this all the time but once every few months? Heck, even like twice a year? Not a horrible change of pace for a weekend, IMO!

The CSS Requirements in terms of matches was an absolute breeze. I always feel like I'm committing a lot of time early in SD to doing all my CSS but this weekend it felt like I was done in no time, and this is coming from someone who has still missing 2 characters (even if they only needed 1 match each, ehehe).

Well. Some? Of the prizewall? Early on, I knew I didn't think I was gonna go super crazy with this event. I knew (and based on what I saw from some, I was proven right) this could be a potential huge money pit. But I still wanted to come away with HOPEFULLY one new card. All told, I admittedly did 3 megas. No new cards outright, barely any shards of "premium" characters outside of guarantees, one full card of a recent premium (Striker Lashley), and 2 bronze tokens. Thankfully one token got me the shards to get King Woods, and the other got me within 100 of Theory. Not the sexiest, but objectively got what I wanted, so not too mad!

Not my favorite things:

Some people, for various reasons, can't access the portal. Kind of a bummer that the botched loot extravaganza basically didn't exist without getting on the portal. Weak.

Like someone mentioned, having like all the challenge rewards locked behind one person in Cody was kind of lame.

Also related to tours, although I didn't have an issue, it sure seemed like the difficulty of the Corbin and HoF tours got swapped. Potentially not great for people!

The spread of prizewall options continues to be.....not great! Like I said, I did 3 megas, and that got me to a hair over 61k medallions. What does that get me? Not....anything, really! I mean I guess I'll always take some more tokens and all that, but to potentially be spending like $300 and not really being able to get anything of note is kind of a feel bad.

Also, what happened to skill plates? I miss skill plates on SD weekend already.

Capped showdown coins. I mean....I get the logic....but c'mon, doggs. Please. 😓

Overall, I didn't hate it? Sounds like a real backhanded compliment but I feel like the time required to get everything from actual SD and tours was pretty minimal, which is always welcome. A weird spread on prizewall rewards, but a nice chance to try and secure some cards you missed is nice. I only got one myself, but I've seen people on my team get anywhere from like 3, 4, or 5+ new cards this week, and you simply love to see it.

it was the the worst event ever 47 loot coins an got nothing in it didnt like this event at all

I'm pretty sure there isn't any drawing for this, dunno why the rules are in the OP, but whatever, I wanted to talk about this one.

• I never realized how good it was to just take a week off from chasing some shmuck I'm never going to unlock to possibly unlock one of the twenty shmucks I didn't unlock in months past. Especially in the era where it feels like every character is the best in their class until the next one comes around and then the other guy is completely powercrept, there's no reason why guys should be kept on a pedestal like that for years unless they became a true cornerstone of their class, and making the free characters part of this song and dance (i.e. Mherex out here calling Happy Corbin one of, if not the best trickster in the game) is a band-aid solution at best.
• Back on track, the event was very... luck-based depending on how you would regard it. I actually got a few people (shocker) because I had a few bronze medallions fall into my lap and I got shard recruits that way, and the 20 dollar mega was also a help in things. As such, I think this event was a relative success and probably the best of the 'Best Of' events, despite that being a low bar to clear. But a lot of the free shards came from bags which came from a huge pool, which means it's a total crapshoot whether you get those precious shards closer to someone or the equivalent of nothing. And with how this event is set up, it kinda lives and dies by the shards. The medallion wall was a way to assuage that a bit, but only the bronze medallions were approaching obtainable and a lot of the higher-card guys were limited to one bundle of shards.
• Thank god the bronze medallions actually existed because the regular medallion wall was the same usual whale food - 200 bucks for gear, more for other stuff - including my least favorite part of moments, permanent perks for the top 0.1%. As if the game wasn't pay-walled enough to compete in at that level. Aside from that, there was the half-hearted econ and token offers, which don't even feel like they match up to what other sources are giving out nowadays.
• Going back to the 20 dollar mega, I have to agree - at this point with the quality of pulls we're getting (99% shard bundles where if you pull a couple hundred of them, you might have enough to take one person 6SB) it might as well be 40 for 20. It's not like I saw people pulling anything super great left or right from my faction (aside from DX HHH - you know, a 4SB, gear-based recruit that should be easier to get than he is) and surely the numbers show that with a loot system that lacks any sort of proper pity system or way to make a meaningful return on dud pulls a carrot works better than a stick. I would really, really hope that numbers show that.
• Other than that, a pretty cut and dry event - tours had rough as hell requirements and the Corbin tour was super overtuned for a week one tour but it was all for faction points so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, showdown was a bit more reasonable, and you could get pretty decently far into the milestones - though the cheap 40 pull really helped in that.

I thought the whole event sucked unless you had more than 1 of the showdown superstars and the talent up part was rediculous if you didnt have any of the premium guys low leveled cos most people already have taken up the free people as high as they need to be, and to be so limited to who u could take up for points meant a lot of people didn't make faction minimums

IDEA: the general idea was good enough having an event were we can get shards for superstar but the odds of rare superstars were extremely low once more plus there were too many scrimmage cards were most people should already have them or be really close. imo there should have been more rare cards or only rare cards with low amount of minimum shards like 25-50.

REWARDS - milestones : rewards were also well also their scale but needed superstars were those that were in bags more or less so if you had them you could get some coins tps etc but no real chance of getting closer or even an new card ... if you dont have those cards tho then you couldnt get far enough to have a realistic odd getting to milestones that had many bags or ''better'' bags

LOOT: loot was as always with bad odds and even when you manage to hit a higher tier part of the loot then you most likley will get a common card but in higher rarity.

TIMES: as usual so i think more or less everyone is ok with that

DIFFICULTY : tours were normal on difficulty except the corbin one which was harder than the usual free month card tour .

in the end the overall event was a nice idea but the actual gain wasnt much unless you had all the cards to get a great amount of resources not cards neither shards...
