The three features that received the most L's in todays stream

Agree with several of the posters above. I really enjoy DD for two reasons - 1) the completion aspect (mission accomplished!!!) and 2) the one out of every 3-4 online games that are really competitive against enjoyable opponents. And oh yeah, 3) every so often you get the thrill of beating some [censored] who cheeses and taunts.
I'm one of the odd ducks who actually enjoyed the crazy grinds in 18 - until you got to the immortal level and it just got stupid. But playing offline games with a variety of players and figuring out how to maximize the grind impact of every AB and pitch thrown. Had a big a$$ notebook and everything and I had a blast with it. Played enough RS games to get those rewards and that was it.
And then I played mostly online in 19, went 102-58 in RS and made CS once, and that was fun too.
And I've never spent an extra cent on the game. I like the content that SDS delivers. Are there hiccups, sure! are there issues, sure! But for 60 bucks a year I get thousands of hours of great playable content and it's really fun and gets me engaged with the MLB season better.

but SDS has ignored offline play with DD cards
@Vipersneak ignoring Showdown.
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?
Correct, there’s is now a way to play the CPU with your DD team, and a completely new mode to play offline as well while completing missions, team affinities, and everything else in DD. How many different ways do people need to play offline?

Here we go again piling on. I thought this has been explained enough already in this thread.

People hear what they want to hear I guess.

The first one really bothers me. I'm back in for the offline grind and unlocking cards this year but it would be great if I could earn the cards offline.

Wrong. You cannot use your DD collection for Showdown.

What exactly does “ 3 Batters minimum Rule” mean?

Whenever you bring in a pitcher he has to pitch to 3 batters or until the end of the inning before being allowed to be taken out of the game for a reliever. It's a new rule in the mlb this year. You can find the full rule here:

The biggest L was not being able to even quick sell collected cards. The other 2 don't bother me so much. Mostly because I play online anyway
Absolutely this imo.

@Dolenz said in The three features that received the most L's in todays stream:
- Prestige Diamonds can only be earned by grinding stats online
- If you collect a card then that card is completely unsellable. No quick selling.
- Three Batter minimum applies in BR (I don't play BR and this seems extreme even to me)
Overall, I loved all the new stuff and it pushed me forward to pre-order. The first one is really the only one that kind of tilted me a little.
I do have a slight issue with #1.
I completed 18 in January, where I finished all the immortals/arcs/team epics/player of the month/programs/collectors programs, etc(outside of Musial and the previous monthly programs from when I bought it in August). Not being able to get some players, due to online success I understand, and have no problem with, like Kershaw. I actually enjoyed some of the grinding, and using so many different lineups and players.
What I dont like, is having too many cards unavailable except through online success. It makes sense to keep some rewards for online players only, but is somewhat irrational in the sense of strictly offline players. The offline players getting those cards wont be using them online for the most part anyway.

I've always been an offline player. 19 got me playing online alot more, but I do feel that any card that requires long stat grind shouldn't be sellable. IMO if you aren't willing to put in the grind, then you dont deserve the card.
