Does anyone actually like how easy they’ve made it to get all the best players in the game? Am I the only one that actually enjoyed having to put some effort in to build my team? I played for one hour and had a full team of 90s... what’s the motivation to keep playing? I don’t see how this game lasts. 3 days in and I’m already bored. I can’t be the only one.
hahahah you are definitely on the fringe here - what a useless and bad opinion you have on this

Basically the way I see it, instead of one long slow grind where we finally get the cards we want and half the people have stopped playing, the game will be 6 shorter cycles. Get that Chipper card and use him online all you want, come July you can’t use that specific card. Meanwhile you can work on the next card to go in his place. Personally, I think it’s a great move and most of the people I know who didn’t want the game this year are now playing and enjoying it.
I guess we’ll see how long that interest lasts. I just don’t see what’s going to keep people motivated to grind.
You don't see whats gonna keep YOU motivated to grind. Your views more than likely arent shared by the majority though. If you're bored already, go find something else to play.
Well there is some merit to his thoughts, there is a reason why 'leveling up' is popular in gaming in general. Starting the game with 90s-99s really takes the build-up away. I know they are trying something different, but the build-up/level up of your team is much more rewarding

But you still have to "level up" and play with lesser cards to unlock the better ones. Its not like we're getting full 99 squads just for logging into the game. We have to grind with those TA henchmen to get to the captain cards and the charisma series. Even the team rewards for completing the LS are low diamonds.
Since Friday, ive finished the WBC program and all the TA conquests....my team overall is still a 92. I get it...there are people that drop real cash on the game to buy every card imaginable...and those are the people that will be gone by season 2 while most of us are happy with our 92-93 team and ready to grind for more.

Yes, but I meant from scratch. Like Bronzes/Silvers to Golds and upward. They should implement some type of reward system for the lower card build up teams.

Season 3 doesn’t start for 4 months. The majority of people won’t last that long. It will keeps things fresh for diehards. But I don’t see how this game holds the interest of the majority of people. Maybe I’ll be wrong. But I’m already bored and usually I don’t start feeling like this until month 2-3.
I expected this to happen when they introduced it (insert LeBron meme).
Same. But I was hopeful they would come up with something interesting. Now it’s just the same game as every other year fast forwarded a few months when every card is a 99. My favourite part of the game is when shitty cards are relevant at the beginning of the year. And getting a diamond is actually exciting.
Well to each their own. I play a few hours a day and have so much content and cards I haven’t touched, this will keep me busy and entertained for months. Last year I ran out of content after a week and was playing the mystery map over and over. I’ll take this model every day of the week.
Exactly this. Even with me taking Friday off I didn't marathon the game for those 72 hours... I'd play for an hour or so then I'd do a chore that normally waits til the weekend, play for another hour, run an errand, play an hour then end up binging a show on a streamer for atleast an hour (or more if the series hooked me) and now that I've been working this week I usually play an hour or so once I'm home at around 6pm-6:30pm and then usually around 8pm I'm watching shows, wrestling or game(s) the rest of the night and if I'm still up at 10pm/11pm I start playing again... I also have a notebook where I have written down the parts of the game that I have played and work my way through that list so for example tonight I'm going to start a Mini-Seasons and see how many games of that I can get it... unless I like what I see what Weekly Wonders at which point I'll probably start with that tonight.

My exact thoughts when I purchased this year's game and I had an entire team of diamond players in the 2nd night of playing. The only way to make this make sense is by having more restrictions for Ranked Seasons similar to how they do the competitive tournaments throughout the year. This way there can still be a million diamond players but the live series at least have some value and oh by the way, there's actual skill involved by the user.

how did you get a team of 90's in an hour? unless you threw some money down for stubs.

Completely and totally agree with this statement. I almost posted it myself.
Only thing worse, that I experienced my first year playing DD (I had played Franchise for a couple years before) in 2013. I played for more hours than I like to admit I wasted and I got exactly one diamond through the first month. Joey Votto, who was like an 89. That was it.
There HAS to be a middle ground that creates a balance.
-
Without changes to the hitting this game will be dead in a month. Way to difficult for the average player to enjoy.
-
bring back the editable named cards that you could improve and could only use for a certain amount of games. or put a game limit on the cards. Ever since the introduction of these all star cards, potw cards the game is basically all 99 vs 99, throw in timing only and the game has become less user skilled and more who has the best cards and can time a fb.
dont listen to daP..dude has some issues and it shows.
now he will go on about how i got blocked on here and my posts deleted because i was criticizing the game.
also need to remove power swing and use physics and give the bat a sweet spot like in real life. But they never will because they love the HRs. Just my opinion so according to DaP IT CANT BE WRONG
-
All these 99s they are giving us are not the best cards that the games gonna have. IDK how people don't understand this. And there's guys who are gonna have more than one 99.

WBC program, lowest rewards were 90 and it was quick to get through.

I am at 95 overall and I have been having fun so far .. my issue is I can’t finish the wbc program without 5 event wins or showdown
-
I think this is the best option to make ranked playable for those who don't spend 1000s of dollars day 1 to complete all the collections. It was so daunting to try and play ranked with barely a team of golds when you knew half the matchups were people that bought the best players and sets.

This wasn’t done to keep people motivated to grind, it was done to keep casuals interested for 3 months before they all move to madden. For those of us who have played this mode for awhile it’s a fresh coat of paint, brings a bit more team building strategy into the mode for those of us who remain past July.
I understand that, but I don’t see how they hold onto casuals for 3 months. You need something to motivate you to keep playing. In the past, it was the next program with a card that was better than the guys you currently had. That pushed you to grind moments (there’s no way anyone actually enjoys these right?) and mindless games against the cpu on rookie and veteran.

This is an odd comment. Clearly some people agree and others don’t. The show has been one of my favourite games for years, but personally I think the approach for this years game is awful. Every year, we get to a point 3-4 months into the game where the market is flooded with 99s. That is always when I get bored of the game because there’s no where to progress. This year, they’ve essentially started the game at that point.
That is my opinion. You have a different one. Which you are welcome to have.

My point is: why are you bothering grinding with henchmen for 92 overall captain cards when you got a full team of 90s, 95s and 97s for playing a few hours of the WBC program? You don’t think there will be another program like that in a week or two with 95s, 97s and 99s? I understand what you’re saying, but personally I think it’s too easy. The way I enjoy the game is putting in the work and getting rewarded with something that genuinely improves my team.
-
They’re the best cards in the game currently. Better or comparable cards will come with the upcoming seasons and you’ll grind for those. Could go two ways really , people could get tired of having to grind new cards and walk away , but you say it’s easy so maybe they won’t and it’ll extend the life cycle

Did you play the version of the game with immortals? The show 18, I think. Where you had buy 12 million hats and jerseys to advance the program?
Not all changes are well thought out...
