    but putting them out of reach for those offline players pushes them away.

    I'm a mostly-offliner and I was able to acquire every purchasable card in the game, including Chipper, Babe, Kimbrell, Gagne: the whole lot of them.

    You CAN do it. The question is: how bad do you want to?

    No, the question is, "What do you do with all of those great cards?" The only mode any fun to use them is conquest, and for that you definitely do not need those cards. It is a waste of time and/or money for offline players to bother with collecting DD cards. SDS needs to give offline players something more to do with their DD team.

    For you it would be a waste of time, but you can't make that call for others. I love collecting every card in the game, and rarely play online. Conquest is okay, but I much prefer vs cpu on legend. I enjoy seeing which cards will make my team, and give them each a couple of hundred at bats to see what they got. I'd like to play online, but until my hitting (pci squared up on the ball majority of the time, and consistently able to go up top for a fastball) reaches where I want it to be, I won't. Considering I'm 55 and my eyes aren't the best, I may never be happy with my hitting.

    If you can win offline on Legend, you should have no problem competing online. I do understand the fun of collecting cards even if you do not play online, but SDS has ignored offline play with DD cards, and I would like to put pressure on them to make DD more fun for offline players. I do play online, but at times the BS from trolls and early quitters, etc gets to be a bit much and I will go for long stretches playing offline only. That gets boring for me because there just isn't much to do with my team.

    I mean... it's supposed to be an online mode, that's where their focus is..

    Ok. So then offline players should not play DD. Is that your suggestion?

    If you think there's nothing to do for offline players then yes?

    That is my suggestion too. Stop playing DD if you are an offline player until SDS gives offline players more to do with their cards.

    Or just play online like the mode is built for

    The premise is offline players. Sure, you can change the premise to "just play online", but then you are not an offline only player and there is no discussion.

    not to stack on Skepple here but he is right - DD is an online mode - if you don't like there is plenty offline stuff to do

    Yes there is plenty of "stuff" to do, but not with your DD collection of cards, which players like to collect and use in some fashion. Some like to use them online and some like to use them offline. Saying, "play the way I like to play", does not help. If SDS wants DD to be online only, then they should make it online only, and yet there is offline play in DD so that everyone is tempted to buy stubs. If they want to continue that, then they need to expand offline play with a persons collection. Stop trying to have it both ways and ignoring offline players. Make it online only and then there will be nothing for offline players to complain about.

    I do not know everything about Showdown, but it did not look to me like you could use your DD collection for that. Is that wrong?

    What does “online” vs. “offline” mean exactly?

    Stats for the prestige diamonds need to be accumulated in online play against other players. You can not earn them playing the CPU

    That just means more messages hey I only need this can you let me have it and I will let you win. Good thing I tell that off or ignore it.

    Right, showdown mode is BR style draft, so not cards from your collection.

    I am not good at this game, I will play online and it is cool when I win or move up. I think the highest I got was DS in 2017 when I really first played DD. 2018 that stat grind took me away from playing online. 2019 I played some RS but mostly events. That fact that I am not good took me forever to complete. Anyone who can play on AS offline would be able to play that same level online. If you are not good then do not worry about winning just have fun playing. Pretty much every card is available to the offline user. Now if you want more do to as an offline user stop complaining and send in detail ideas. Complaining with out giving a solution is wasted breath. I have not seen anything on how they should make a new offline 9 inning mode. They could bring back play every team on every level that gets boring after awhile. they could make those Red Diamond Prestige cards offline on HOF for half season, or AS for a full season and something like exchanges 300 1B, 500 HR using any example for Helton 1B AND 1,000 RBI 's with any 1B. Some offline players would still complain. I think for the offline players it is not about using the card as much as collecting the card.

    You haven't seen me post then. I've been pushing for a DD Season mode for nearly a year. It's basically a single-player Custom League except it has rewards, counts as DD for Team Affinity & Daily missions, and doesn't require exploiting a loophole to play.

    Have you emailed them directly with how you would do the mode very detailed out? Just a question, That is a great idea.

    I think MTO was a terrible offline mode.

    i understand you are upset about this. i am not here to gaslight anything. i just think that DD is an online mode always was, and is a core of the way DD plays. however you and SDS grow the offline - that sounds great for you guys. i would hate to see DD online anything sacrificed, and i welcome the idea of MORE online only rewards (like the events of 2019 earning after so many W's etc.)

    Yeah, I was about to mention that someone, wasn't sure who, but I guess it was you that has talked about an offline version of RS.

    How about playing vs ultimate team CPU. So imagine a mode where you played against the computer that uses all the best cards of that team, so you are playing the all time Yankees and they have Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Yogi, etc., obviously they would have to mix in LS cards to fill out the full roster. That would be more of a challenge than just playing against the LS cards of each team.

    I think here is where some fights on here tend to break out. Some people feel that catering to offline players is going to take away resources spent on fixing, improving, or implementing new things for online players. Such as perhaps a separate RS that is more competitive, where user input is more and there is virtually no RNG and have to use the same hitting interface. So those "online people" hate the thought of an online game making things more offline and exchanges get heated.

    Every one wants to play DD their own way and I think every one should be allowed to do that without being told by others that they are wrong or that it isnt meant to be played that way.

If SDS wants DD to be online only, then they should make it online only, and yet there is offline play in DD so that everyone is tempted to buy stubs. If they want to continue that, then they need to expand offline play with a persons collection. Stop trying to have it both ways and ignoring offline players. Make it online only and then there will be nothing for offline players to complain about.

    i understand you are upset about this. i am not here to gaslight anything. i just think that DD is an online mode always was, and is a core of the way DD plays. however you and SDS grow the offline - that sounds great for you guys. i would hate to see DD online anything sacrificed, and i welcome the idea of MORE online only rewards (like the events of 2019 earning after so many W's etc.)

    I think here is where some fights on here tend to break out. Some people feel that catering to offline players is going to take away resources spent on fixing, improving, or implementing new things for online players. Such as perhaps a separate RS that is more competitive, where user input is more and there is virtually no RNG and have to use the same hitting interface. So those "online people" hate the thought of an online game making things more offline and exchanges get heated.

    Every one wants to play DD their own way and I think every one should be allowed to do that without being told by others that they are wrong or that it isnt meant to be played that way.

    absolutely man we've also spoken before about this very issue

    How about playing vs ultimate team CPU. So imagine a mode where you played against the computer that uses all the best cards of that team, so you are playing the all time Yankees and they have Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Yogi, etc., obviously they would have to mix in LS cards to fill out the full roster. That would be more of a challenge than just playing against the LS cards of each team.

    I did float another idea at one point (likely on the old TSN forum) that had that as an element. It was a playoff-like mode where your team plays in a bracket against other teams in an attempt to come out on top. Much like new Conquest Maps get released, new brackets would have different opposing teams, difficulties, and maybe even lineup restrictions. It could progress to the end of the cycle where you're up against the all-time lineups of each team.

    but putting them out of reach for those offline players pushes them away.

    I'm a mostly-offliner and I was able to acquire every purchasable card in the game, including Chipper, Babe, Kimbrell, Gagne: the whole lot of them.

    You CAN do it. The question is: how bad do you want to?

    No, the question is, "What do you do with all of those great cards?" The only mode any fun to use them is conquest, and for that you definitely do not need those cards. It is a waste of time and/or money for offline players to bother with collecting DD cards. SDS needs to give offline players something more to do with their DD team.

    I mean... it's supposed to be an online mode, that's where their focus is..

    Ok. So then offline players should not play DD. Is that your suggestion?

    If you think there's nothing to do for offline players then yes?

    That is my suggestion too. Stop playing DD if you are an offline player until SDS gives offline players more to do with their cards.

    Or just play online like the mode is built for

    The premise is offline players. Sure, you can change the premise to "just play online", but then you are not an offline only player and there is no discussion.

    not to stack on Skepple here but he is right - DD is an online mode - if you don't like there is plenty offline stuff to do

    Yes there is plenty of "stuff" to do, but not with your DD collection of cards, which players like to collect and use in some fashion. Some like to use them online and some like to use them offline. Saying, "play the way I like to play", does not help.

    I hate online play with a passion, but I will fight for you guys to have a a separate RS that has less RNG, because I support you guys in your endeavor to have more things your way. I dont think catering to one side or the other is a big deal, they are trying to make all of us happy. It's a nearly impossible task, but they try.

    SDS is fantastic compared to other gaming companies - Bungie you can FK off with Destiny and how you mangled it over the years
