Is now. I was already bored and annoyed, borderline frustrated I would say. And this 6th inning program is straight comedy, but enough is said about that already. My playing time already decreased dramatically this year and even though I usually try to stay up to date with my collections and stuff, this inning program is making it very hard for me to be motivated to play this game on a consistent enough basis to get enough XP with this new garbage XP cap. Great chain of events from the SDS braintanks, this is how you alienate your fanbase.
Hey SDS, it's pretty bad when you alienate someone who's played this game for years and rarely has anything negative to say.
As everyone usually states when someone says they're leaving the game: it's not going to matter. They already have your money.
Well, it WILL matter when people like @raesONE_PSN leave.
Get enough to make a dent and SDS will wake up.
They care about their bottom line. They pander to the masses not the super dedicated. Its a business. I'm not happy either but its reality. How else for you explain the non pci hrs?
I understand that, but what I'm trying to argue is that this approach where they prefer to say in their comfort zone instead of innovate is going to impact their bottom line because people are just no longer interested in the way this game currently plays. It's stale and boring and repetitive. The only people who don't perceive the game this way (yet) are the new(er) players. To them it's still new and exciting and they are still motivated to get better at the game. Everyone I talk to has the same opinion as I do regarding this matter.
The new cards alone are just not enough to keep us engaged anymore through 4 years of game releases. I'm even at the point where I might consider skipping MLBTS 22 if it is another tweaked and adjusted version of this product that we've been given the past 4 years. I know SDS won't care about me leaving, but the greater sentiment here is that it's not just me. I resemble a large group of veteran skilled players who are just bored, burned out or straight out frustrated with this franchise and I think it would be a mistake to annihilate a core part of your players base in this manner.
THAT would impact your bottom line.I heard you. With xbox being added they actually gained players. The Shiney new cards will only last so long. I usually lose interest after the real world series is over and baseball is over for the year. Its the beginning of theb6th inning and in beyond bored. If battlefield dropped tomorrow I wouldn't play the show for probably another 3 or 4 months. I don't play a lot of games. Its cod, mlb and maybe one other game here and there.

Idk man having people play on legend in RS definitely isn't catering to the masses. There's like 1% tops that actually enjoy legend. Last year I logged 100 RS games, this year 53.

It’s funny that they’re trying to stop moving moving to Madden or whatever. So they’ve brought in something which could potentially stop you playing the game after a couple hours. I understand it’s to stop the exploits. But it’s not been very thought out. I’m a normal player and once my cap reached I turned on another game. Where I would have probably played another hour or so.

BF keeps getting mentioned and I love to see it! We need to start a group of all the players on here that plan to play it and party up when it drops.

I would say a small, very small percentage of people make WS and actually play on legend. I hate playing on legend but there other things to do once hitting WS between events, BR program and other things. It used to be RS or bust. I always hated BR but do it now for the NR program rewards.

In all honesty I am kind of thankful for it, this game is a grind, it burns you out mentally, I am happy to move over to another game and regain my sanity for a few hours.

Lol, have you ever looked at the leaderboards at the end of a season? A LOT of people make WS actually, it's not nearly as much of an accomplishment as it used to be back in the day.

I’ve been playing madden for 7 years as my main game and Madden 22 is [censored] near DOA. My twitter is basically all madden and the amount of refunds I’ve seen is astounding from dudes been playing mut as long as me. And they certainly aren’t helping their cause with their move even more to pay to play. I’ll give you an example. They tweaked their xp system this year but did a horrible job of it with solos giving you 100 xp per game and needing 18k per level for 40 levels and pretty bad rewards. Yesterday they released a solo string where one solos was messed up and gave 400 xp and another crashed your game and wouldn’t let you proceed through the solos. They patched the extra xp solos 2 hours before they patched the solo that [censored] your game down. That is mut in a nutshell.
2k is who they really need to worry about. They caught a lot of momentum last year in my team from about the half way point on. And if they can keep that then that mode will grow a lot. They are also big time pay to play though.
To OP and anybody else 4/5 months on any game will burn you out. Just the way it is. And that is definitely compounded by doing it on the same game year in and year out. I slowed down playing this game for a bit. Playing through both the spider man games. Nothing they did wrong just Burns you out.

Read what I said. A small percentage of people make World Series and play on Legend. Lots of people make World Series for the pack and then stop playing until the next season. Legend is misery online with the timing windows and inconsistencies.

I usually try Madden every year and this year it's just so bad. Played 12 games, every one glitchy and bugged to hell and came back. Madden is borderline unplayable.
-
I don’t know how many people are moving to Madden because all I seem to see and watch is how much of a trash fire that game is. I also had a laugh at an article trying to pump the tires of NHL 22 talking about all these new innovations, and these innovations come from Madden. So there is no innovation it’s just taking some junk you have and adding it to a different junk pile.
Sports gaming is a mess. But because you have some people out there and many content creators willing to drop thousands on currency, things will remain the same.
-
Yeah I dont feel the need to play anymore after I hit the cap. I hit it last night around 6pm. Sat there for about 5 minutes thinking to myself... what mode should I play? And is it even worth it?
Cuz the main reason I play is to collect as many cards and finish as many programs, etc as I can. So what's the point for me to continue if I can earn anymore XP for the day
-
I'm an old-school RPG nerd, and if that xp bar isn't progressing I lose interest fast.
I did the shark map and 6th inning conquest last night and didn't hit the cap though, so I probably won't have many issues with the cap personally. Still don't like that it exists just because they couldn't or wouldn't deal with the problem itself.
