So DD Has Devolved into a Game of 99's at EVERY Position All Year Round Now?

And some of you find this interesting and...ummmm....strategic? How exactly?
I really thought this community was more intelligent than this.
Seriously, we have HR Derby cards in April, less than a month after the game was released?
Just what we need....more cards with 115+ in Power Vs both R & L.
Can SDS at least give those of us with IQs above 70 a Salary Cap mode to actually compete at something that involves an OUNCE of baseball STRATEGY?
Most of the reward cards are utterly useless. Some already have better versions (99's) available in the Marketplace.
Disappointing to see the DUMBED DOWN direction SDS has decided to take this mode.

To respond to your thread title...
Yep -

Disappointing to see the DUMBED DOWN direction SDS has decided to take this mode.I don't see any point in insulting every gamer who may like the current setup. Especially since Online Diamond Dynasty has never been a mode about "Baseball Strategy".
I'm not a fan of the Sets and Seasons myself but I don't fault those who enjoy it. If I wanted real baseball strategy then I would stick to Franchise mode or play a game like Out of The Park baseball where it is all strategy.

I don't think you understand, the OP is far above anything else, if he doesn't like it, no intelligent person would, he's probably weighed all the positives and negatives over tea in Cambridge and come to the hypothesis that the lower your intelligence is, the more you prefer the system.

Maybe try to find a good Custom League of Live Series Roster. It is the most strategic mode regarding baseball by competing against real users. Other than that, Franchise in high difficulties.
-
If you need to play against bad teams just say that. Online rated is a thing go play there.
-
Great players will always beat players like me if I go online and I can have 99s eveywhere
-
Strategy......in a game where you have barely any control over such.
Can you pitch? Can you hit? Only thing that matters, if your opponent is better than you at those things, best pray RNG screws them over or it's a big L.
-
It's actually funny how many of you completely miss the point...and thus have no actual argument against mine.
Here's another question...
What good is all this CONTENT...if it's all basically the SAME?
If every card is a 99...and every card is juiced up with crazy ratings...then why does the actual player model matter?
It doesn't. It's just "window dressing". Completely meaningless. There's no advantage or disadvantage to having one player over another when they are all basically THE SAME.

I'm just a simple man who realizes that playing a team full of 99's Vs someone else with a team full of 99's isn't fun or interesting.

Hes not wrong. I haven’t heard a single room temp IQ conquest grinder complain yet. Better cards to destroy the computer 750 times. Its honestly kind of genius on SDSs part because the amount of idiots that can’t seem to beat a showdown on Vet is alarmingly high.
So yes, players that still can’t figure out when to hit the ONLY button you have to hit are lacking in certain areas. We are talking about people that can’t stop pulling the PCI down for no reason after literal years of doing the same thing lol... This is when a conquest grinder would give you the definition of insanity and think he sounds edgy.

I'm not sure pulling down the pci equates to real life intelligence though, being bad at videogames in general doesn't equate to low iq

I'm smart enough to realize that anyone who thinks playing ALL 99's against other people with ALL 99's is boring, childish, and likely lacks any sense of creativity or strategic intelligence.
Sure...it's subjective, but that doesn't mean it isn't childish and unintelligent.
Humor is subjective too. It doesn't mean that morons who laugh at FART jokes and POTTY humor don't have the same IQ as 8 year olds who do the same. Don't have to take much of a "leap" to see the correlation. Same goes for this game.

Ok let me know when the scientific studies come out when you write your thesis on the subject. Don't worry, we are all self centered so it's easy to elevate ourselves and kick other people down, I get it.

It gives the best to both worlds. People like myself who can’t play as much, it gives me a chance when i play online to try and make it happen with 97’s and low level 99’s. For those that can grind, you got the best of the best.
If you don’t like it, don’t play

I'm not trying to elevate myself. I'm just being honest.
Maybe try to EXPLAIN to me what is fun and interesting and strategic about a mode where you just load up a team of 26 overpowered players and play against someone who does the exact same thing?
So much so that it gets to the point where it becomes OBVIOUS what cards are clearly the best to use...that everyone uses the almost the SAME exact combination of players.
What is interesting about that, exactly?
Look...I'm not saying they have to remove that part of the game. But...why not have a mode in DD with a Cap or Limit or like BR (but 9 innings and with cards you own)?
It's clearly something people have an interest in...it's already IN THE GAME in Battle Royale!
But there is clearly a hole in the mode right now.
And it exists for those of us interested in playing something similar to BR...but not limited to 3 innings. And maybe without the randomness of a Draft and more of a personal choice.
Give us that mode...and give rewards for playing it. See who can win games without just loading up a team of 99's at every position, every starting pitching slot, and every spot in the bullpen.
Sorry...but the "strategy" involved in DD when it comes to playing Ranked Seasons Online is basically ZERO. That makes it simple and childish...shallow.
Why not add a mode that actually has some DEPTH and strategy to it? You don't think people who LOVE the game of baseball and all the strategy and analytics that come along with it, wouldn't enjoy building teams and playing a mode like that?
-
Here is my outlook, you play with the cards you like. But these cards were released and it was to cover up that the game isn’t fixed. It’s foul balls, bs hits that lead to multiple runs. It’s lining out to 1st and 3rd, like it’s automatic. But it has enough to do where you can say I’m not playing online. Just grind the offline stuff and get good cards.

Love when people come on here and call random strangers idiots because they aren’t great at a video game. I own that idiocy with pride. I tried playing Bloodbourne for 5 minutes and my gamer friend kindly said “maybe this isn’t the right fit” as I pathetically tried to figure out the controller. It’s mainly because I haven’t played a video game regularly since I was 13 years old. And no I’m not slamming gamers, some of my best friends are gamers and always have been. It still vexes me that this is a statement you make- sorry we’re not all at your level. But if flexing your ability as a gamer makes you feel cool, you do you my friend.
As for the OP, I get what you’re trying to say. This is an over correction (something they’ve done often) and takes a lot of strategy out of play. But for someone like me who has more fun getting a root canal than playing Ranked, it’s a fun way to collect virtual cards, and devour content on nights when I don’t feel like going out.
I do wish there was a happy medium as I know it’s not all about me nor is it all about the online competitive players.
