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.
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

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.
Nope.
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.
And you aren't smart enough to know fun is subjective?
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.
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.

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.
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.

Total BS. If I have the same 99 pitchers as they do they’re not getting any hits either.. only reason they’re allowed hits is because they’re using all the best 99 players in the game while I’m using the free 97 pitcher.. it’s stupid. I’m either forced to spend a ton on stubs or play against the cpu for hours upon hours which is kind bumbling boring. No idea how these children are able to do that but ya I’m not doing that.. in older the show versions you could build a competitive team using inside edge and diamonds.. not anymore. 95% of the cards are unusable already. They’re just there for collections I guess idk but I’m never using a diamond acuna jr with a 5 star inside edge anymore unlike before because now it’s unusable cause everybody is using all 99s

Bingo. Exactly! In past years I could build a competitive team to play online using inside edge and diamonds… now 95% of the cards are unusable. All I play against is the exact same 99 cards.. every team online I face has exactly the same players.. I face the same pitcher every game… it’s so dumb. In past years it was fun beating people using a strategically formed team using inside edge.. now inside edge is useless. If you’re not using a 99 pitcher against these teams full of 99s then you’re getting crushed automatically in -

You’d think it’d be rare to see teams online with 99 chipper jones, 99 Derek jeter, 99 babe Ruth, 99 ken Griffey jr, 99 tatis jr or whichever else 99 player but no.. they’re so common online that it’s even common at this point you’re seeing many teams with all these cards on one team! It’s so ridiculously dumb and this game just came out… 95% of the cards are unusable and unplayable online because these are the kind of teams you’re facing.. pitches way out of the zone are fouled off repeatedly until you’re forced to pitch in the zone and no matter where you place it these 99 players are automatic homers it’s ridiculous. But if I get a perfect perfect swing with a 97 player against a 99 pitcher it’s a lazy fly ball… games dumb. These 99 cards should be so rare and diamonds and gold should be usable online and inside edge should actually be a thing like in previous years. Now it’s all just pointless… SDS said here play against the cpu for mindless hours on end till you get these 99 cards. Screw that

Totally agree. I haven’t played the show in a couple years but in the past I could build a very competitive team using inside edge. I could challenge any team online cause I was decent at the game. It was fun building my team every time I played online strategically. Now inside edge is pointless cause I can’t use anything lower then a 97 against these super stacked teams. It’s not as fun as before. I’d totally play a mode where it’s capped. Because frankly it’s just not fun having to face the 99 Japanese pitcher then 99 josh hader every single game… then having to pitch to the same exact 99 players every single game

They had a salary cap mode on previous madden years and I remember playing that more often because it was more fun and strategy was involved

If They didn’t have 99s y’all would all be using the same cards anyway. It’s just the way online gaming is.
It evolved to this. As we keep moving forward I’m not a big fan of it tbh. But it is what it is.
Madden got rid of salary cap mode for a reason. People don’t play it. Maybe a limited like 2k but that’s what event are. If they did have a salary cap mode 2 week in you’d see the same lineup over and over. YT would make sure of that.

Not really. In the past inside edge would allow a Balance to people who loaded up on all the good cards. Diamonds used to be rare to gain without countless mind numbing hours agains the cpu. Before you could compete online using golds and diamonds plus inside edge.. now it’s just the same 99 cards people are loaded up on and you can’t compete against these stacked teams other the. Using 99s yourself

Once again, you have franchise for that. Maybe its time to accept the fact that Diamond Dynasty just isn't the game mode for you?
