This game is absolutely boring and unrewarding right now.

I agree with you. It is very unrewarding in multiple ways, packs, good swings and perfect pinpoint. I have played a ton and I have DeGrom which I won in a 12-1 BR run. I did pull Tatis in the first week but used him to make my whole RS squad better. Let's be honest, selling Tatis wasn't getting me any closer to collections. The top 7 alone are over a million and I have 1 of them. I am no where close so unless I pull a Trout or Acuna (never pulled either since I've been playing), I am not going to do collections. The only real person worth collecting is Johnson.
-
"I’ve even played the Mystery Conquest map about 15-20 extra times" I agree with you but if you have time to grind conquest like this you can play events and get some great rewards. I built a pretty solid team with event rewards and pulled several diamonds from the reward path packs. Pulled a Brice harper last night.
-
Agree 100% - game is just not the same this year. I play both online and offline and its just boring, less rewards and more grind on top of hitting being terrible this year just makes me not motivated at all to play this game.

Packs are all over the place for sure. I have pulled Trout, Acuna and DeGrom twice each, and lots of other diamonds, some multiple times. But I know some people get shafted. If I’m doing well, somebody else is paying for it. The Pack Gods must get their sacrifice.
Yeesh ... save some for the rest of us. 'Doing well' is an under statement...You've pulled 6 over 90 diamonds...Ive pulled 4 under 90 diamonds total. Thats nuts

I agree with what most people are saying. I usually play this game all year round but this year I'm already looking for other options to put my gaming time into

I just miss TA, other than that it seems fine

I play the online modes once in a while (Events and BR) but I have a career job and just don’t have the time to invest into ranked seasons. That means I play the single player modes the majority of the time - including RTTS.
As of right now, not including a few of the gold and diamond programs in RTTS, I’ve already completed everything available for the offline modes. The game is so boring right now that I’ve even completed every Conquest map.
To make matters worse, the game doesn’t feel rewarding. Out of the 37 Live Series diamond players available at the moment, I have exactly 4 of them — and 1 card was purchased on the marketplace. Given that I’ve completed all of the “Other Programs” (except Stages 2 and 3 of the April Series, of course), all of the Showdowns, the Conquest maps and 3 full Mini Seasons, you can imagine how many packs I’ve opened along the way. I’ve even played the Mystery Conquest map about 15-20 extra times because it’s a quick and easy way to get 5 The Show packs for free.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t remember the game being so boring and unrewarding when The Show 21 was released. I know it’s early but something needs to change. The odds say we have a 1 in 50 pack chance to get a diamond player but that’s a load of bullsh*t! On one occasion, I opened 108 packs before I pulled a diamond player and I’m currently on 86 packs without a diamond pull. On top of that, out of all the Ballin’ is a Habit packs I’ve opened - I’m still sitting at 1 diamond player from those packs and 0 diamond pulls from Headliners packs.
When you combine all of this with the many lazy-assed copied and pasted card images from The Show 21, I’m really disappointed in the replayability and the lack of effort put into the game.
At the very least, they could give offline players a replayable Showdown like they finally added last year so we can earn cards for winning and sell them for stubs on the marketplace.
Sorry for the length … I don’t comment very often but wanted to vent a bit.
1000% yes, but I'd like add an additional word to describe my current experience and that word is "Frustrating". So, Boring, Unrewarding, and Frustrating. I'm currently debating shelving this atm. MTO is the only area where I see an improvement this year, imo the gameplay, grind, and rewards went waaaay downward. I'm still holding out hope that they make some gameplay changes before I just decide to stop playing this year, and that will effect if I will purchase future titles. I will say though, the simulation is like the real MLB this year.. deadball. But, as a game it just isnt fun to play that way.
You summed it up nicely at the end. If you want realism/ simulation then we are getting it with hitting being hard and no runs being scored. Which I would be a fan of at higher levels. Ranked in the 700s it should be hard to score. But if I'm just messing around doing conquests on rookie the score should not be 2 - 0 every game. I'm crushing the ball and yet it goes nowhere, or gets robbed at the fence, or the 104mph linedrive gets caught by the pitcher.

Understood. But just pulled DeGrom again from a 50 pack along with Tre, some 15k batting glove, Keyshawn, and one other diamond I can’t recall.
Had 90k stubs before buying the 50, wound up with 260k.
Silly.
-
If you play the game as much as you say you have, you should probably have more than enough stubs to BUY some of those LS diamonds. Unless, of course, you wasted all your stubs on packs..

I haven't bought any packs if you are talking to me. Just opened the ones I have been given.

Nah that was to OP. He said the games unrewarding and hes played Mystery Map 15 times, done all the conquests etc and he only has 4 LS diamonds. With all packs hes gotten from those plus the stubs, he should have enough to buy more diamonds.

Totally agree. I usually make at least CS every year but this year even though I haven’t played a lot of ranked, I’m down around 450 and fastballs look like 250 mph and the timing windows and pci placement seem way off. Even playing mini seasons on rookie the pitch speeds are way up and down. I would just think after this many years of making this game a company would have figured this out. I’m usually done with 2k for the year when this game comes out but now I find myself playing it more than this game and I hate 2k. Anyways good luck boys, we can complain all we want but unless we just stop buying it and playing it ultimately it’s our fault. They obviously don’t really care after they get our money

Pitch speeds were quite fast last night in all star. Trying to determine if vpn helps but doesn't seem to so far.

I agree 100% on everything you said. I also have a career job and work 40 plus hours a week and I have gotten all of the offline stuff done. I don't really have the time to play online alot because I might have to pause here and there or might have to quit because I have a wife and 3 kids. The packs I have opened so far have been bad. I got 2 dimond pulls and they were both low dimonds. I feel your pain. Hopefully we get more offline content to grind and better pack luck!

I hear you on this mate but try to play less - the less you play the more it may excite you when having that little time for a bit of online beisbol
