    Why do you need a DH in DD? -- Because those the rules of baseball. I cannot believe how many people are making excuses for SDS - The universal DH was in the news for months as a probability -- if you want to be considered a serious game, you follow the sport and prepare for its rule changes....
    They put in ghost runners and reliever requirements instantly -- this should have been no different.

    Ask yourself why it was....

    So why not add more to the "fantasy" with using a DH ????

    Things that make you go "hhhmmmm"

    Like why do we park in a driveway, but yet drive on a parkway ?????

    Probably because it simply would be a lot of work to redo content, cards like Shohei Ohtani would need to be editted and they didn't have enough time because while the DH was rumored for awhile, it wasn't official until very very late

    I don't buy it. These people create fake cards weekly. SDS just being hardheaded. Changing the rules to benefit them.

    I can guarantee you they don't make fake cards weekly, those are all planned out way ahead

    I'm all for the DH in real baseball, and I would be okay with it if SDS adds a DH in future games. However, if 8 superstar diamond hitters aren't enough for you to get some offense going, the 9th one isn't going to help.

    My thoughts exactly. I like that MLB has it now. But in DD it would kinda suck. We are gonna have some pretty stacked teams real fast and I want to be able to utilize my bench and be forced to take out my SP and maybe go to BP if I need a bat in a key moment. With a DH I would hardly ever use my bench or my BP.

    and when exactly was the game designed and built? Oh yeah in May many months before DH became anything more than a rumor.by the time the lockout had happened this game was 7 months in the oven already.

    Ghost runner and three-batter rules started in MLB in 2020, and were not put into MLBTS until TS21, an ‘instant’ 10 months later.

    In fact, the three-batter minimum was announced 13 months prior to the release of TS21.

    A bit more time to prepare for those than the three weeks they had for a confirmed universal DH.

    Because it wouldn’t be copy and paste if they added a DH. We have to lower our expectations every year or just stop buying it. Complaining won’t help unfortunately

    I don’t know why they wouldn’t add it and at the same time why users wouldn’t want it eventually also. It is an opportunity to have DH only cards. It also gives you another reason to use bench players instead of saving them for pitcher at bats. You can use them to sure up your defense in the 9th or for better R/L matchups earlier in the game.

    I think you already have your real answer. I think they very easily could add DH, they don't want to.

    In the streams for 20 when DH was added they said they wouldn't add it to DD, and only said Maybe if it's permanent. This year they said definitively no for this year and made no promises for any time in the future.

    SDS's attitude indicates to me a lack of interest in putting DH in DD. It's a fantasy mode if they wanted DH in DD it would have been there from the beginning.
