I would enjoy a salary cap mode.
80 overall squadsFind value types that are lesser rated.
I would play this over ratedBattle Royale.
Uh..we all know what BR is. Why even waste your time typing this???
What we want/need is something like BR...but 9 innings, and without the Draft...let us use cards we OWN.
It's not a difficult concept to grasp. Very easy to implement. And would be very popular among a certain part of the community that plays this game.
Had no idea you were an expert on all things.

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
If you think we didn't face the same pitchers over and over these last years, you're playing a different game; who doesn't remember facing Randy Johnson, or Kluber, or Fernando or Cabrera all the time?
You're always going to see certain cards more than others. Especially when some cards are clearly a step ahead of all the others.
SDS claimed this change would bring more variety in lineups. The said Captain boosts would help too.
None of that has worked out the way they claimed it would.
All it's really done is make most of those lower-rated Diamonds unplayable. Even with a Captain boost and Parallel'd.
And this is coming from a guy who plays almost every game over matched using Bryce Harper and the All Star cards that he boosts - Sizemore, Strange-Gordon, Chili Davis, Trevor Story, Justin Turner, Thome, etc, etc.

Huh?
I'm 6-foot-1 if that's what you're wondering.

I'm honestly about done.
The mode doesn't even make sense.
What was the POINT of 95% of these cards?
No one freaking uses them.
At least last year, it was interesting for a few months as you'd see different lineups and different players. People would actually try to lock in for certain cards and Parallel them.
I started DD 3 or 4 weeks after launch and still had FUN building my team and trying to win games while slightly undermanned.
This year...it's a joke. It's kind of embarrassing how mindless and thoughtless most people are with their teams.
As for SDS trying to "fix" the issue of "no one using Captains"...what another absolute JOKE. I think even fewer people (ONLINE) are using Captains now then ever before. I can't even remember the last time I played someone with even a SLIGHT Captain BOOST.
It's probably been over 20 games since I've seen a Captain Boost on an opponent's team.
What a freaking shame...
It's a good game when it's not turned into a Beer League softball game with 97/99's everywhere. And with the MLB license and all the historic players...this mode could be SO MUCH MORE.
Instead it's a shallow, dull, boring mode completely void of almost any strategy.
It's embarrassing this is what SDS has turned the mode into...and it's embarrassing that some people actually think this mode is "deep".

You keep mentioning strategy, there’s barely ever been any strategy in this mode so I don’t get why you keep saying that.

OP is the definition of ballin is a gold

The OP may have chosen his words poorly but the view is valid. I've been playing this game since MLB the show 14 and I'm usually playing and grinding DD well into October or early November. I'm bored and basically not motivated to play and we're still in April. If people like the way the game is this year that's fine and it certainly doesn't make them ignorant but I do think a lot of people feel like I do. There is just very little reward or content to look forward to.

y'all act as if all 99 are created equal....there are lower cards that play better. You can complain about "strategy", but the reality is that there is still "strategy" in picking your team. I dont like these seasons and sets myself, but you can trot out some of these 99 cards that are only 99 because of arbitrary stat ratings, or put in a 90-94 with a better pitch mix/per 9's. And either way, the RNG controls this game way more than strategy. Go find an online franchise for that. Not to mention strategy to me is about bunt, steal, hit and run, pitch selection, player shifts, etc. You can do that still, but once again, the game seems to decide outcomes way more than user input decides outcomes. (ie: 96 MPH PP can of corn pop-ups with Murakami etc. and absorbent amount of Texas leaguers and seeing eye singles)

In past versions of mlb the show, I would make a new lineup every day to play online and could compete with anybody's. Now I can’t use inside edge at all because everybody online already has every 99 player on their team. I did some rough math and to finish all those collections you have to spend like around one million stubs.. no chance people are making that much stubs without spending money on it. I’m playing a moments last night to gain some free cards to unlock this 99 jazz Chisholm and have a moment and think why am I wasting all this time against the cpu for a card that’s probably worthless in a week.,
