Separate capped ranked idea

I'm proposing a new mode within DD that blends ranked with BR\events in that people can freely create maybe up to an 80 overall team to use in 9 inning competitive play. We'd see much more variety and creativity instead of the tiresome 99 overall god squads of stacked lineups + outlier pitching staffs, and it would make interesting looking silvers\golds\low diamonds actually usable instead of purely grind\collection cards

Interesting that you find 99 squads tiresome especially with the huge variety we have available but ok.

People think simple stuff like that create variety, but on reality people will always follow the meta. It's not as simple as putting a cap on overall.

Virtually every team I face still has the same core composed of Mantle, Trea Turner, Degrom, Feller, Rivera, etc with that variety of 99's simply rounding out the rest of those rosters. As fun as the challenge of defeating those god squads is, it gets kinda old and true variety would be seeing more golds and low diamonds thrown into the mix

I addition to that "meta" (God I hate that word) what most people don't get and probably never will is that the key to success in DD is not using those so called meta cards but instead ensuring to have each roster spot on your team filled by players you perform well with regardless of attributes.
Example: Posada will never be replaced by Adley because I absolutely dominate with JP.
That Topps Andrew Velasquez will forever be in my bench because I know he's gonna get me a hit if I need one in a pinch.
For some reason, people just do well with certain cards and not others. Trey Turner can't even stand next to Wander Franco's shadow for me.

An overall cap would not be a good solution as the same thing will happen. People will use the same players and load up 99s and then have empty benches, bullpen, etc. Something more in line with the teams used in the tournament would be a better solution that I would love. Something that allows x# of high diamonds, x# mid diamonds, etc. A system that forces balanced teams. Most prefer all 99s though and that generates more money for SDS.

There is a rating mod so if it's zero u will match with lower ranked players who would have lesser cards

The rating mod hasn't done anything for like 4 years. It's just there for show now

Technically 2 years but yes, you are 100% correct. Rating mod means nothing...

It was is July or so of 18 that it was removed yes? so we are both wrong if we are really getting technical. All I know it was during 18's lifecycle
