Now that you mention it... @Kovz88_PSN has 88 in his usertag which might indicate his year of birth. My year of birth also happens to be 1988. Coincidence or full blown TSN conspiracy? Exclusive coverage with Sean Hannity tonight on Fox.

Is the lack of free sh*t this year causing everyone to be so volatile?.

Absolutely, while waving Ramones cigar smoke out of his face
I don't have a problem with Ramone like a lot of people who like to give him sh*t for doing his job (promoting the game), but isn't comms under his supervision? They need someone (if not him) to get on that. Horrible communications with the fan base.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate Ramone, but yea, could communicate with the fan base a bit better. Let’s be honest though, those of us who have been here awhile have just come to expect zero communication.
True; every year they mention it in pre-launch streams: we read your comments, we are aware... You know when there's a big bug or grief from the community they are working on it from experience, but for the newbies it's maddening. At least address the fact that next patch won't fix this or that, but the one after that or ASAP we will deploy a fix. But, crickets.
The problem is yes, they need to communicate better with the community, but they need to be better at fixing stuff during the games cycle instead of over-correcting it in the next game. They probably do listen to the community, and unpopular opinion, maybe too much so. The gameplay in 22 is a direct result of complaints about pitching being too OP last year. They made it easier to hit, but nerf exit velocities so its not too easy. Just my 2 cents
The game will be tolerable come June/July as always, it’s not right but it’s what we got so what can we do?. My contribution is to not buy stubs until I do feel the game has been fixed, they will not finesse me this year, as much as I do want Moose.
Like I definitely understand and feel for people that feel like the gameplay is horrendous. But I'm still going to play until I feel that it isn't fun. It isn't bad enough to where I'm not going to buy the next game. It isn't bad enough for me to voice my unheard frustrations on a forum everyday until its fixed. It's fine if people feel that way and people sometimes think I'm defending SDS for purely tolerating the experience, but there are many more things to worry about
I have played long enough to just expect this, this year though I just look at the opening program and say “blah” could care less if I finish this so I am just grinding at a basic pace, using my bronze, silver and few gold team to make it through to the next program. I am actually enjoying it more right now with my basic b*tch team lol.
I actually think giving less content out for doing nothing is a good thing. The point of DD used to be to find the best guys that worked for you and work towards that team. In 20 and 21 you just had to sort through your lineup because you had every card. What's the point of having choice packs if you aren't really forced to make a choice and have all of them anyway?
I will forever remember the AS team affinity from ‘21, literally ended the game last year.
Even though most of us liked the cards, funny how that goes hand in hand.
You just can’t release end game cards mid way through a games life cycle, it would have never been a problem if they didn’t have 100+ attributes IMO.
Yeah I agree.
Edit: or maybe a tad over 100 would be fine, but they released cards that were 125 lol.
AS degrom became a combination of Sig Ryan and Kershaw, made online boring AF IMO

Yeah, they probably get a good laugh at us debating the same stuff year after year….maybe they can do something about it, besides sitting back and eating popcorn. Or how bout answering some of the questions we’ve had?
Regardless of anything else, one thing we can agree on is that SDS' communication needs some serious work.

I don't think they care all that much, nor take the community serious. Remember when they mocked their own player base when the stream was still on? That said it all.

^ This, no matter our differences we can all always agree that SDS’s communication sucks.

Last year the whole thing with you getting banned and Collin responding to troll topics but couldn't even say "hey too busy to answer these right now" in the topic with our questions really left a sour taste in my mouth. It was a very clear middle finger to the crowd here on the forums

A bit better is an understatement. He's nowhere to be found.
Well it does take a long time to smoke a cigar
, it’s sad but I really don’t expect much communication from them, especially here.I mean, you can use your phone while smoking. I do most of my posting with a cigar on my deck or on the toilet.
But when you’re paid whether you communicate or not what does it matter?. I am a civil servant and whether I do my job or not I still get paid and never feel any consequences for not doing my job so I know how Ramone feels lol
I am as well, but find it difficult to not be productive even with minimal effort.

Very true. I will never forget how poorly they handled that situation.

After this sequence, I gave up 2 run shot. It's impossible to strike people out. Note that almost all of these pitches were changeup and sliders and the timing of my opponent was "very early" on almost all of them. This is just one example, you'll experience them yourselves I'm sure.
All of these pitches are easily fouled off

This is why I tend to hold off on online play until about June/July. The game is always unbalanced early on, at least from my experience. Can’t we just get a carbon copy of ‘17?
I’ll gladly accept 17 with updated rosters over what we have now.

Same. The only 2 complaints people had with that game were the just late hitting and the topspin heavy swings. Which is still in the game mind you. I don't understand why they can't just take that game and polish up those aspects and work with that.

Every batter with a one handed swing finish had that topspin. You are right though, last great game they released
