I just don't get this concept. DD is meant to be online. I don't play RS often but do dive into BR and def a lot of Events.
If you are playing offline, what's the fun? to get a better team to beat the same missions, conquest or vs CPU all over again???
I'm just not understanding playing ONLY offline and never wanting to play vs people even if it can be toxic players online ie bunt dances pausing etc. For the most part the players you face online play fair and it's really not hard to get some wins in an event or stats to complete the programs.
Agreed, only playing offline is just wimpy. Like sitting down to pee
It’s not wimpy. There are reasons for why people choose to play only offline. I don’t have time that I can dedicate to play a game without interruptions. I use a TV with bad input lag so I don’t feel like getting destroyed every game because I’m going to be spammed fastballs knowing I can’t keep up. Also, I don’t care to play against other people. I play video games to relax and not have to deal with cheesers that use every exploit possible.
Get a monitor and play events.
I’d rather play on my 55” tv while on my comfy sofa than sit in a chair and play on a small monitor. I already have to do that for work. I don’t want to do that after work.
This, 100%. F’ the separate set up.

The OP must think everyone is the same.
I don't like shaved poozy, but don't go asking why do people like that over bushy ones.
Offline is still fun and there's a lot to do thanks to Parallels.
The AI will drive you nuts, but it's still satisfying.
Remember this one MAJOR point.
A lot of us started gaming when there was no online until around 1999 with NFL 2K on the Dreamcast.
Offline gaming is our roots, so some of us stick to them.
I would definitely wanna go get a beer with you if this was in person. -
I played online in the past. I wasn’t very good, but more importantly to me I hated the $&&$holes I encountered doing it. I have played exclusively offline the past few years and I enjoy it. I collect all of the cards every year and use them all against the CPU and have a blast doing it. And like others have said I can play when I want, pause for as long as I want, and get reasonably consistent gameplay. I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything.

OK...so I have been thinking about all this offline/online stuff lately. Like I have mentioned I am someone who more preferred offline, but has started playing more and more online for different reasons.
Does anyone know why there is not an offline season mode for DD? Having that mode would not cause me to spend less stubs than I do now...but I guess maybe it could for others? I just know this...I played an "Extra Innings" game yesterday and it was probably the most fun I have had playing in a long time.

I play DD because of the Legends. Same with Madden and MUT. I play MUT offline because of the Legends.
Can't use the Legends in other modes (I don't believe)

You don't have to understand though. People who enjoy playing baseball simulators are not always as good as you are. Some people have little tolerance for knuckleheads online. I have serious post concussion issues, working memory loss, and extremely poor hand eye coordination. I still like baseball and would like to play the game. In my case, if can't get a card because I would have to play an online game or on all star, then I just won't get the card. There are plenty of other ones out there for me to get. I learned to flip cards, which I actually like doing, to get players I want that couldn't win in events. We all have different abilities, but can find a way to enjoy the game.

When I’m dead tired and need to take a whiz in the middle of the night, I’ve never once thought to myself, “It’ll be wimpy if I sit down and pee.” That’s what a severely insecure and fragile guy would think.

If the DD H2H RS gaming experience was better, then I would play online more. But I have avoided online RS for a while, mostly due to the laggy/warping pitches found in many online matches (why is this?). This is in addition the the bunt dancers, rage quitters, pause boys, etc...
I agree that DD is ultimately meant to be played in H2H RS, so I plan to do that, I just do not look forward to the frustration that comes with it. I still enjoy grinding and collecting cards, for now. I will eventually play BR for a bit before jumping into RS, just to get my timing down... as offline vs CPU plays nothing like online H2H.

You do realize that computer games were at one time only offline and gasp people still enjoyed playing them? You think Pac-Man and Space Invaders were played online?
I find playing offline less stressful and I still enjoy building a team and hitting bombs with that team. I don't complain either way... I love that the game gives us opportunities to build a team using both online and offline.
But don't tell me which way I should enjoy playing.

Get a better team to beat the same AI teams, conquests, etc. How is that any different than getting a better team to face the same lineups and either Cabrera or deGrom every game?
I dabble in online occasionally but I stick mainly to offline or unranked matches against friends. People can play how they want, I don’t see people getting ragged on for being strictly a franchise or RttS player.

The OP was most likely not referring to RTTS or Franchise mode players. He was wondering why someone would spend so much time in DD, collecting cards, and not use them in online H2H.

Who on earth said DD was meant to be online? lol
Online is full of pay to win cheesers and I'd rather not have to worry about if I'm going to get a decent opponent.
As someone else stated, for me my time is limited with having a full time job, wife, and two kids. Not to mention God forbid I may actually want to play another game occasionally. It takes most of my gaming time to keep up with all the offline content so I have absolutely no reason to subject myself to all the complaints people have about online opponents.
This is like the epitome of what SDS is trying to accomplish. Most of your time is spent on content and content is irrelevant to offline players. You could have used any player the day the game came out as much as you wanted. Quite literally every mission and moment you “accomplished” was wasted time and energy. You could just be playing the game with the player you are trying to earn, or one of the other games you enjoy.
I’m sure SDS has a term for the boomers that are to stupid to dodge the online DD content but will never know, they don’t even tell us what quirks do.

Not sure why it matters? I'm sure they feel the same about online players. Different strokes for different folks. You should be glad every one doesn't always share the same opinions.
I only started online a few years ago but I see both sides. Sometimes I enjoy playing the computer on Rookie essentially to.have a HR derby. Less stressful than online play.

You also have to pay to play online. PS Plus is not worth it if you hardly ever play online.

"meant for online". DD has had vs cpu and vs ppl content in every year of its existence, and as the years have gone by it has gotten more friendly to the vs cpu only crowd. This debate has raged for a long time now and players have said this onljne purpose, but i never recall a dev saying anything one way or another, and recently they have been saying play how you want.which would seem to indicate that it is meant for both(and always has been)
Exactly this. SDS will be fully aware or the player base who play online or offline and will adjust accordingly.
I do wonder though if they make more money from online as opposed to offline with stubs purchases though. I’d probably lean towards online as the competitive edge.
As a counterpoint, I suspect a lot of the collectors gravitate more toward offline content. They are also most likely big drivers of revenue.

LOL! What? Another poor attempt at trying to be clever. You should quit now.

The reason I play offline is because my internet can’t establish a strong enough connection to play games online. It’s laggy, the baseball is a yo-yo on the way to home plate. When it’s hit it will show the opponent not moving their players so I turn to run towards second and all of a sudden the players teleport to the ball and I get thrown out. Among that, I’ve heard a lot of people, a lot, complain about how playing against other people kinda sucks because it is really frustrating when you throw pitches 6 inches off the plate and they take the pitch deep. I’ve seen the complaints about swing mechanics and player ability being nerfed and so even if I had the ability to play online, I would avoid it because I play video games to enjoy my time. Not get frustrated -

Not get frustratedYou pretty much nailed it. While I’m hardwired, there’s nothing stopping me from being a [censored] and setting up a WiFi connection or a mobile hotspot to make it miserable to other players which I wouldn’t be surprised if many already do that for that purpose. I don’t want to be playing against other people. I’m on this forum all the time and read about all the trolling things people do online including but not limited to R2 holding, bunt dancing, abusing the pause timer, freeze glitches and so on. There are plenty of ways I’ve read over the months of how to make the game miserable for others online and I want nothing to do with it but if I am forced to play online at some point, I will pretty much make it as fun for them as it is for me. After all, misery loves company.
