With Madden coming out Thursday (EA Play) - Is there a big drop off in Diamond Dynasty?

Yes, every single year. Most Casuals migrate out and the level of competition remaining is usually tougher.
-
And while the competition does get tougher. You may find more online games enjoyable as you will see a lot less shenanigans in game. They won't be gone, but definitely occuring less

Very true. Can't wait haha

Thanks! But I don't play online anyways....so was just curious about content. Do they try to dump more good content to keep people from switching over to Madden?

Right about the same time as the Madden release last year we got the All-Timer program released. That had 99 Babe Ruth. I would guess we'll probably get a similar program released about the same time Madden is dropped.
-
Content comes out regularly through the end of the baseball season. We are only on Inning 5. So only about half way through.
-
I'm so glad this game finally came out for xbox so now I don't feel the need to pay for ea to make the same game over and over again

I have around 110 RS games played and well over that in events games.
I can count on 1 hand the number of players I played that resorted to BS in games that honestly made it not worth playing.
The game play does that far more than the players IMO so I dunno what type of people yall are playing but for me it's not really the players making the game a frustrating experience.

The worst experience is full 90+ speed guys and bunting every pitch its just OP even when you make adjustments

Is it coming out Thursday? I might quit MLB for the year. I don’t like the outcomes on batted balls vs pci placement and the timing windows feel messed up this year.
Hopefully next year the game will feel right.

Lucky you. Of course I never said anything about not worth playing. This is by far my favorite game. But there are some donks out there. Especially earlier in the year.

I've played vs that. 1 player in all my games was like that. He attempted a bunt every pitch.
All I'm saying is that I think people grossly over exaggerate the level of toxicity they experience in a game.
I've seen streamers [censored] ("oh we got an R2 cheeser") about a person who uses R2 every few innings.

If anyone in here is going to be playing madden this year send me a DM. I am starting a Connected Franchise League this year and have a bunch of like-minded older dudes who just want to enjoy a chill experience with banter and camaraderie.
Advances will be every M/W/F @ 10pm EST. If you can schedule like an ADULT then send me a DM

I don't think Madden will have that much of an effect. Sports games are as seasonal as the sport they represent. When I bought The Show this year it was just excitement about MLB starting in general. Thought the game could compliment and, was I ever wrong, reflect the real game.
So, MLB season is winding down so a lot of customers have already lost interest. Specially if their teams are long out of it.
And, these online sports games just get stale. I've read 2 months is when fall-off starts and by 3 months about 50% of the original customer base has moved on to other diversions. That's why you see the pattern about 4 months in (when online play has turned into a ghosttown) they start all these give-aways of coveted players..99 Diamond in the Show..similar in FIFA and MAdden.
Just to keep and, potentially, draw some players in so those few that remain actually have someone to play against online. Nothing spells the end of a game's cycle more than a great absence of online opponents.
I went back and played FIFA for the first time after December (In 5 years of playing FUT) and built a team of players (in about 1 week) that I couldn't have touched even one during the initial 3 months of release last September.
But, I've already found it's fairly boring having a team loaded with the best. When everyone else you play does too. I acquired the players, which was kinda fun doing the objectives, and am burnt on that game again.

Madden will suck online it always does.

What sports game doesn't suck online most of the time? FIFA can be a disaster, and it's been said by a forum full of ppl in here how erratic this game is.

They all suck online.

If you leave "The Show" for the garbage that is current Madden, good riddance. There is not a more disgraceful sports franchise. Madden 22 is less deep than Madden 05. The game has gone backwards in ways that should be impossible. They made a BILLION....actually OVER a BILLION dollars in there MUT game (the Diamond Dynasty of Madden) last year, and claim they dont have the resources for such trivialities as putting the referees back on in the game.
Whether you want refs or not, its not a resource issue. EA has built a giant corporation of liars and thieves that chooses to put out a roster update every year. After an online rebellion last year, they blessed their player base by putting BACK IN features that used to be in the game...well, supposedly. I believe nothing until i see it. The idea of innovating....pfffft...yeah right. They have to make sure Spongebob Squarepants gets his own product placement.
The NCAA game from a decade ago, puts current Madden to shame. How is that possible?
I used to be a huge Madden fan. Bought it ever year. Eventually you get sick of being ripped off, or you bend over and learn to enjoy the ride.
I walked away. The Show is a million times better in every way. MUT is a disgrace compared to Diamond Dynasty.People just keep giving EA their money though, so why would they truly change their MO. Its like the govt. It will treat you like a peon and a fool until you stop accepting it.
Like i said, good riddance.

That’s a fair point. I have never really played fifa online. Madden and 2k are straight garbage though. I’d rather give up off pci home runs than play either.
