Honest question for the Offline only gamers
-
I played mostly all offline half of the year then played mostly online for the 2nd half of the year. I was kind of scared to play online as this was my first year. Then I played an event and realize that I wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I was compared to a lot of players. I still really like offline also. I enjoy conquest and I also have an obsessive compulsive disorder right now to parallel one ever diamond card in the game so offline is a nice grind when I am tired or at night where I have had a couple of drinks.

This was my first year playing DD (previous years I played Franchise). I can honestly say that I had more fun playing offline than online, but then I only played around 10 games online. I came to realize that online gaming was 99% competition, and at my age, I don’t need that anymore. Even now, I play the 11th inning mission each day, and I’m finding cards that are a blast to play with. There is nothing wrong with sticking to offline.

I play strictly offline. I don’t have much time to play and when I do, I tend to get interrupted a lot so players my against players really isn’t possible. Offline has plenty of features now like conquest and all the programs that are available throughout the year. Lastly, when I did play online years ago, it was toxic. I just want to relax and play a baseball game. I guess I’m old school and remember playing a lot of games before the days of online play.
This is me as well. I very rarely play online.

I can honestly say I have never played an online DD game and probably never will. I used to play Madden online but quickly realized it’s not for me. I, as others are, are from a time when playing online didn’t exist. So I’d rather spend what little time I have at night, maybe an hour or so, playing offline. I play simply for the enjoyment of playing a video game. And I must say, MLB is by far the superior card collecting offline game of any sports game IMO. This was my first full year of playing DD and I loved every minute of it. Heck I’m still grinding the final inning forever program.

[censored] I love playing online rated with a few pops. This year co-op and some friends is going to be a blast

The thing about offline is if your willing to put in a bit of effort you could do it in franchise and make it even more enjoyable. You get the cards from Day 1 and have no reason to wait 6-7 months before you can use whoever you want. You have an actual season to play with stats, awards, trades, contracts. There is a post season with a World Series where you would play against other teams with legends and not the live series whoever’s for the 50th time.
I just don’t get offline DD. Wait months for cards to play teams that never change with no real end game other than cards they could literally already be using or playing against. Borderline psycho.
You don't get legends in franchise.
You don't have missions and other fun RPG elements in Franchise.
You don't have cool things like Showdown.
You can't get special versions of your favorite players.
Most of all, franchise was stale at least 5 years ago and has barely changed since then.There are legends in Franchise, just not all of them and they have different ability stats. But I agree with what you are saying..

Wow I’ve never even thought about H2H mode. That’s a great idea.
I know this is not appropriate for the DD forum, but has anyone ever had luck with friendly leagues? I’ve done them before in madden and they were fun with active people.
Leagues are great. The problem is getting everyone to commit to playing when you are supposed to because everyone is playing missions or something trying to get better players.
Hahahaha, you nailed it. People commit than get caught up in a loop of forever “grinding” for the next card. Too bad, leagues with good dudes ( who You chat party with during the game) are
The best part Of this game to me. -
Yes it is and just as good doing friendlies with the mic

I used to be RS only in years past. Last year I really enjoyed the BR format! Wish I would’ve started playing BR at the beginning of the season. I hope they keep it the same and actually add a bigger variety of throwback cards as rewards. I do enjoy offline missions such as Topps Now and POTM just to mix it up. If I play too much of one mode I get burnt out.
In an unrelated matter, they can get rid of MTO in my opinion but if a lot of people like then keep it. I don’t wanna rain on someone else’s parade.

I actually liked the changes they made to MTO this year. I might do that more if I get burned out on DD while still getting xp for the innings program.

I only did MTO for the trophies on PS5, then 4. I hope they don't tie trophies to it in '22, as the mode got stale. I did like fleecing teams of their best players, though 🤪
Why on earth are we starting playoff games behind when I have so much momentum and the orange circle momentum thing is as big as the globe? -
Playing offline is like pr0n. You might be by yourself but at least you know what you like best.

Could obviously be wrong, but I have a feeling they are trying to develop mto until it's fleshed out and deep enough to where they can use that code as a starting point for a new franchise mode and solve the problem of the current franchise being on legacy code.

Yep, I reckon you’re right. Basically said by Lick Nivingston himself.

Yup, this is my theory as well.

I only used to play offline. I just did the team affinity and whatnot. A couple weeks ago I started just playing battle royale and I'm hooked. I wish I played that and events alot more. I feel like I missed out on alot. You live and learn. At least I know for 22.

I'm a mostly offline player. I played about 35 games of RS. I've dabbled in BR over the last few months (love it) and tried some events (I've been terrible). I finished every moment, player program and conquest map. The offline mode is a fun bonding experience for my oldest son (12) and I. We love hammering out the missions and creating themed lineups to take advantage of the dailies. As with any game, its enjoyable if you want it to be.

Extra innings mode allstar settings gets my vote for best all around enjoyment, Its ranked without cheese.So many different teams to engage. Beat a 90 plus rated tem on allstar or higher you will earn it.Cheating dont happen.
