DD approach this year

21 made this community soft
To much was given away to easily and now SDS has switched it up and is actually asking people to play the game and it the worst thing every.
16, 17 and 18 required you to play this game in different ways to succeed and was a grind, 19, 20 weren't bad but 21 basicly gave stuff away for doing nothing. The fact players could have 99 Degrome from TA by just doing the exchanges was a joke.
22 Is awesome and it's so engaging with what is required because I need to change up my squad and drop in and out different players to complete mission. Isnt that what this mode is about
Add one that card prices are all very attainable so play a couple days and have enough for the card you want. I don't get what's not to like

Inning program were better, but they were also stale.

Let's be honest the programs are still inning programs they just give them names now and have changed their length that's really it.
The "boss" card structure is the only real other change

21 was during Covid. We were grinding to not die. So it was nice SDS did it that way. Now theres no going back.

So because SDS gave everything away for doing pretty no work or effort that was grinding because we were avoiding covid??? That doesn't sound like grinding that sounds like you just want SDS to give you the best cards for nothing so you can claim "I'm nms here my squad rate it"
Anyone who claimed they were no money spent last year was a joke cause my 5 year old could have been no money spent and have a God squad of 99s
The more I look at 21 and how the content was structure and what it award for how much work it required it was the worst content this game has had since I started DD

Why are you so angry? Last year was better because many things like TA and have goals set for achieving rewards. It made me come back to play. I don’t play as much now Bec it’s random useless games. I don’t play online. No desire to play 10 vs cpu games just to get a lesser reward.
21 had the best content.
So I guess SDS is going the way of EA and 2k. Too bad. -

Oh I am a big fan of the pxp mission now I think that was one of the best changes they made
The more I think about yhe programs have changed quite a bit, where inning programs were just so predictable 3 boss cards, 3 henchmen, 3 classic cards, every [censored] time
Now it's changed up and the fact you actually have to use the cards you aquire along the way big W gives me a reason to use the cards I unlock..

So I guess SDS is going the way of EA and 2k. Too bad.MLB 19 had the best content. Giving stubs and 99s away for logging into the game in 21(20 was more stubs than cards) was bad and what caused outrageous prices on the market. 22 seems biring now but it will progressively get better and already has
-
I'd be ok with the current program if they fixed the gameplay aspects. I like the pxp aspect, would prefer a team like program over pxp, but whatever, it's not bad. Hitting is terrible, also hate the perfect/perfect out (fouls, dbl plays, etc), and am really tired of pitching in the double digits to each batter half the time. I want to enjoy the game of baseball, I want to get a hit IDC if its a dinger, but I dont want to pitch for 2 hours for a couple conquest games.

So I guess SDS is going the way of EA and 2k. Too bad.Not angry just tired of this narrative that tye content took at step back when in reality content is back on track to what it was and SDS course corrected
Also if you make the claim SDS is going the way of EAand 2k clearly you haven't been around here that long when SDS use to do the following
Equipment collections that were only found in tipper packs that would have a rare Equipment that was worth more then 80% of.live series cards and would only be in packs for a limited time
POTM cards use to only be in packs that were like 30 or 40k stubs and there would be a limited number of packs for the community to purchase, 20k packs for all gamers, the POTM rare cards would be some of the most expensive cards all years
Finest 2018 packs - 20k for a pack that had 1:1 odds for a gold card, the finest cards were some of the most expensive cards in the game going for 200-300k for the top 6 cards and could only come from these packs, SDS then gave 2 packs that were sellable other wise they gave away 1 non sellable random pack each monthly program that you could only exchange if you got a duplicate in a immortal program
While we are on Immortals let talk about the souvenir exchanges these were items that were only found in packs to exchange toward Immortals that's all they were used for and in some cases they were so expensive because of guys like chipper who only played for 1 team, these would be 4 and 5 k items that were for exchange purposes only
SDS is the most fair company there is in the fantasy team building world but they haven't always been as good as they are
If you are going to make a claim that things are worse please present some better evidence

Ya I’m not reading all that. Half the names of the programs you listed I don’t even know.

So let me guess 21 was your first year of DD that checks out
Sure sound like gate keep but really you only have 1 year of DD to reference
-
20 was actually the big give away. That is when things got real easy. With COVID and the late start to the season I thought it was just gonna be like that for 20 but they came back and were pretty easy on us in 21 as well. 16-19 was definitely more of a grind. And 16-18 you pretty much HAD to play H2H to get stuff done.
-
The only thing this program lacks is, as a 2 week only program, there’s not enough at release. Moments and the conquest map are done, pxp up to date… so it’s just gameplay XP already

A lot of people say hitting is terrible, but don’t explain what they mean. Are you having trouble hitting or is it too easy?
Also, what level are you playing your conquest games on and how are you pitching vs the CPU? I’m assuming that was an extreme exaggeration. Most conquest games probably take me between 10-15 mins.
-
I was exaggerating on the time to finish a conquest game (just had a frustrating gaming session, lol). I've just noticed it takes about double the time to play now due to METER pitching being horrible and the many (millions!) foul offs. I have tried PP and the others, but I just dont like it (so, its a me issue to a degree), but shouldn't they all allow basically the same results given the same input. The more I think about it, the more I think I do like the hitting this year, too many dingers in previous years and I'd rather get basic hits personally, but the cpu defense is out of this world unrealistic and it is there where I think the issue is that I have.

Agree completely with this. Love seeing people with 90 ranked players still in their RS lineup.

Too many hits on bad pci placement or very early or late swings. Not enough hits on good swings in the pci.
