The Best Sports Game Ever Made

With this forum typically biased toward the negative, I wanted to state the case for why this is the best sports game ever made:
While I do not believe it is the best sports game ever (that goes to Madden '03 or MLBTS '16), I also find it very fun to play. I have actually enjoyed playing this game every year since '11. Online RS can be frustrating at times due to latency, but that is every year. The worst Show version to me, was '18. You could not pitch effectively online due to the nerfed fastballs.

It's not a bad game, but if you have been playing for 10+ years, it really hit its ceiling for a few years. They tried circumventing that with a new RTTS that is absolutely bad; DD (and all UT type of games really) has become stale/watered down. Franchise is sitll struggling with drafting/trade logic.
Add to that that it's now stuck between a rock and a hard place with moving on to new gen (limited market) and old gen now that they added the Switch. I'm on PS4 and it's so maxed out the rendering and frame drops are abysmal this year.

To me this is not at all a question about "The Best Sports Game Ever". The issue at hand it is is not even the best version of "The Show". That is where I think a lot of people have issues and what some claim to be negativity. Is the game better than the current version of Madden? I don't know and really could care less. The only kind of video game I play is baseball video games. It really makes no sense to compare it to other sports games for many people. However, it does make a lot of sense to compare it to previous versions of this game.
I played The Show years ago (non DD) and the gameplay, commentary RTTS, etc. was all top notch and far beyond anything I had seen. It also got better every year. Last year ('21) was the first year I played DD and I had way more fun that I could have imagined, but saw a game covered in gameplay flaws. This years version is a step down from '21 in my opinion. Gameplay is worse, content is worse, commentary is way worse. I trust the long time DD guys on here who say that '17, '19, and '20 were better than last year and this year. The issue at hand is the game is moving backwards not forwards and thus in no way can be considered "The Best Sports Game Ever".

It’s the most pathetic game on the market. Skill does not matter in this game at all. SDS needs to clean house and get some actual developers in there that know what they are doing.

You're the most whiney player the game has. I wonder if the game has a forum constantly complaining about you instead of just doing something else

I disagree, it is a very good game but I think donkey Kong is the best game ever

Skill does not matter and apparently this is their way of keeping the casuals engaged. This is what we get when a company corners the market and are the only game in town. The customer gets hoe'd and 22 is a classic example of that!

If expressing my frustration with this game is considered whining then so be it. You might as else accept it because I will not stop, don’t let it get to you and stop being a cupcake.

If skill doesn’t matter, why do I keep getting stuck in the high 700’s or low 800’s and immediately start getting my a$$ beat by better players? Why am I consistently beating the lower ranked players? If skill isn’t influencing those outcomes, then what is?

Valid point, maybe I need to reword what I said. Basically, the game IMO rewards bad input while dis crediting good input at times. Feedback sometimes is random and favors the lesser opponent. Also with the extreme amount of foul balls and weak hits (on late swings) it allows good players several extra opportunities that they didn't deserve to have in the first place. So skill does kinda matter but is diluted by terrible feedback. This is just from my experience but you are certainly entitled to your own opinion of the game. I don't hate 22 but you have to take online gameplay with a grain of salt to enjoy it this year.
