Which is my point a DD player gets minor league player and 97 overall rank

For instance I like watching “Yourfriendkyle” in his YouTube vids even tho I hate the fantasy and unrealistic factor of DD because I want to see how good he is
He is obviously a great hitter but so am I, and he seems to throw a lot of balls that people are too impatient to lay off when pitching. With my plate discipline I feel like I could beat him
Not to factor in each video he had “new Gold card 99 overall Jim Thome” or whoever. Each game he gets a new overall 99 player card I guess based off a fluke career year in that players career
You don’t know how hard it is to hit in DD until you’ve faced 99 Corey Kluber on legend difficulty. He puts the very best pitchers in H2H to shame, and that’s putting it lightly.

So?
LET me state for the MILLIONTH TIMEThe top players have used bronze cards and still made WS! They have faced absolute god squads that are so far above the Yankees or Dodgers in H2H, and beaten them with bronzes.
They aren't only using all the high rated cards.

I could just see a DD player absolutely raging playing with the Marlins like me and after so many perfect perfect outs because the team has literally zero pop
U have to hit a ball absolutely perfect to hit a homer with this team
When I play with 20th overall Texas hit minimum of 3 homers a game
And I choose these teams choice bc I like them and fun beating yanks and doyers with incredibly inferior talent just saying the skill gap between top H2H and DD players is closer than u think

65-74 overall, and they are facing the absolute stacked pitching staffs that you keep bringing up, so they have it much harder than your Marlins do.

Online h2h is like triple a baseball and online rs dd is the major leagues. Its not that there isnt good players and good teams in triple a but the talent pool of the majors is just better and deeper across the board. More high end competitive players playing dd raises the level of competition regardless of rosters and ratings. Its not universal that all dd players are better then h2h and vice versa but overall dd is a more competitive experience despite the game play flaws.
Good debate regardless.

good to see that not all DD players are playing with all 99’s
Just a shame how everyone loves playing such unrealistic sports now in the show and madden turning into fantasy games
It’s not the fact that online H2H players are not good u have to factor in there are indeed some people who like playing realistic with real teams and players
Stacked fake team names and uniforms in a minor league park is the new phenomenon lol
Or in Madden someone playing as the home team with the Green Bay Packers uniform in MUT with Michael Vick at QB and Barry Sanders at Running Back and the game is at the New Orleans Superdome

There are absolutely good players in H2H, that was never my argument. You seem like a great player, and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was saying you weren't good.
Just solely comparing the top 100 in each mode though, the top 100 DD players are better.

I’m a Dolphins fan in football and to show how realistic I like to play in espn NFL2K5 I benched Ricky Williams and didn’t give him one carry all year in online H2H
That was the year he quit on the fins in training camp but was still available to use in the game.
Dramatically increasing my chance to lose games by not playing the best RB in league at the time but just shows how realistic I play in any game
Which why even if DD is more competitive with more players I just can’t do it Love how H2H always updates rosters throughout year to reflect injuries in the show to keep it up to date with real baseball

Argument is more players hence more competitive I get it. People don’t care about playing realistic? Or is the competition just so good they don’t care? Maybe the “thrill” is playing with combination of current all stars and hall of famers also who knows

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I like playing with legends, I like using players I grew up watching. Yes not every stat or card is based on 100% realism, but that doesn't really bother me. I also love the card collecting aspect of it because I collect cards in real life.

MUT still makes me laugh when u see a guy Playing with Troy Aikman and Emmit Smith both wearing Eagles uniform and the game is at the Meadowlands
Or a DD player with fake stacked team playing in a minor league stadium in which they don’t even know what state it’s in or park they never heard of
But I’m prob way too old school for this generation

I got so many cards from when I was a kid. They are worth nothing now right? I remember getting the Beckett books to look up the value of special cards etc. I don’t even know where to buy them anymore

Depends on the era, if you are talking about from like 1988 through the 90s, yea those are pretty much worthless

Everyone plays for different reasons, there is no "right" way to play. I love playing franchise mode to play with my favorite team and do a realistic season. I play DD because there are so many different things to do and sometimes I like to play with some of my favorite flashback/legend players even if they aren't my best option. Ever since Ken Griffey Jr Slugfest back in the day anytime I can get Griffey I do. Definity respect people that play with the actual rosters because you do have to compensate for the lower rated players.
-
True glad to see good contributions to this thread let’s hope the real season starts I’m still not certain with cases rising at record rates
-
The #1DD player has been #1 for years now... He's definitely the best Show player on the world ATM.

As someone who's been sitting at number 2 right now and number 1 in the past in Head to head. Diamond dynasty is by FAR more competitive compared to H2H. I respect you for playing with your fav team and playing with texas but wanting to play live players is one thing but COMPETITIVE wise DD is tougher. That's cool that you don't play with cheesy teams but I play to win and play to be number 1. People who are on top 20-30 in H2h leaderboards DEF can't make it to world series in DD. I've played many top players and multiple times against them in H2H online and won. As I am 141-6 in h2h. DD is more competitive. Which is why i stoppped playing H2H. Also, Texas is a good team to play with. They have a lot of players with glitchy swings.
