coming back mainly to keep up on moments just in case there is a card I want in the Topps or POTM programs later.
You just described a chore - doing something that you don't really enjoy doing but you feel you should because it might benefit you down the road.
that is exactly how i feel about my raspberry bushes

I’m playing casually until Madden drops in a couple weeks, Then I’ll take a break until season 6 starts…Should be about the time I’m finishing up that sweet looking Avatar game that’s coming out…I just find it weird that my team is weaker now than during the first month of release lol. I’m sorry but I like my team as it was during season two. I don’t like being forced to move onto sub par players.
Lastly - The whole reason for seasons was to see different lineups right? How’s that going? I bet your next game is against Randy, Nolan, Ohtani or Donaldson lol
-
I've kinda given up this year. Not a fan of the set thing, don't care for the Captain stuff either.
Alot of stuff is recycled and then there is more stuff thrown on top which is too much.
I used to play everyday but now I only care yo get on on every 3 days or so and it's to play a ranked just to play.
Very lackluster product this year. -
I like the recommendations of taking some time off (even a full year)… I still enjoy the grind a bit, but I just don’t know why I even get somewhat excited anymore with reward packs… Chase, Diamond Duos, regular show packs, etc… I don’t care that they’re free packs, for example all the free packs for grinding the shark map, I just believe they should hit more often… tons and tons and tons of various packs and still can barely pull a 85 diamond… just sickens my stomach, that’s all…
Back to my first statement, maybe I do need a break!
-
I have not taken an official break, but I am playing significantly less than I ever have before. It all just seems like the same thing as always (conquest/showdown/pxp), just the grind keeps repeating over and over this year. TA3 has probably killed my motivation as much as anything. I am starting to do things on the Meta Quest I got my boys and spending my free time with other things. I love playing this game, but my boredom with it has not been a bad thing at all.

@Roostjmu_XBL said in Anyone else taking a break?:
The grind to finish TA has been brutal. I'm at 70 of the 90 cards and have finished all the showdown and conquests and also completed a full mini seasons run. They need to drop the pitcher xp challenges down to 400, it's so brutal getting all the pitchers done.
I agree it has been. I am done with 3 of 6 divisions. Have about 30% done of the 4th division. What sucks most to me is that I spend all my time using specific teams to complete TA and other programs, never getting to play with all my favorite players. As far as pitchers xp, I don't have much of an issue with starters being at 500 but relievers need to be 300 or 400.
-
Relievers at 500 pxp is either pure laziness on SDS part, as in all pitchers are 500, or they assume you will use them to start games as normally relievers will not be used more than 2 innings.
-
I think pxp should be further reduced to allow players to test guys out and not overplay players they don’t like. Maybe 150 for hitters, 150 for relievers, and 300 for starters. As it stands now most hitters take more than 1 game and all pitchers need to go about 8 innings to get the pxp requirements.

A+++++ This right here. I am done with the grind and will just use what I have or play the online rated section.

Yep, cards being phased out = the treadmill never stops.
And after ~4 months, it all seems pretty pointless.

I didn't play season 2 at all. Came back and completed all of TA3. It wasn't bad because I had a ton of conquest maps to play, but without that I would have given up.
Also coop is still In shambles (the reason gave up during season 1). It's just baffling to me that they punish the player because they refuse to implement some type of connection based match making, or some way to detect when a game freezes.
Online play is just garbage this year. without solid online play, what's the point in playing DD at all?
Also all the 99s from day one, and cards expiring ruins alot of the joy.

Ugh. I think I'm going to take a few weeks off. I've finished 5 of the 6 divisions for TA3, I'm 3/4 through the current BR reward path, and finished the RS path (using all TA3 players).
And... I'm... burned out. I feel like Forest Gump after he ran across America 3 times... "I'm kinda tired... I think I'll go home now".
I've come to look at this year's edition as "work". I gave SDS the benefit of the doubt with the whole "set" thing, but I'm absolutely dreading going through sets 4, 5 and 6.
So, I'll take a break. I'll be back for sure, but I'm just not enjoying the game as much as I should.
Let me know where your heads are at this point in the cycle. Thanks!
I don't ever take breaks but there are days where I simply don't play the game or will do something real quick in the game and then I'll end up streaming a show or something and just have no interest in trying to grind MLB or any of the other games that I've neglected since I started playing MLB... then something new will be added to the game (like Extreme Program tomorrow) and I'll binge play the game like I'm sure I will this weekend with the exception of going to my brother for the fight on Saturday and then I'll probably start playing it again on Sunday until NXT comes on with The Great American Bash.

My guy, I am stoked for the UFC and NXT.
My boy bet $200 on Tony Ferguson at +380. This should be a fun one! -
And Starfield got delayed....

You made me run off to google to check.
The articles are talking about the original delay and not a new one.
As for the topic at hand, since I will not be attempting any of the Extreme program SDS is kind of telling me to take a break since there will not be any new meaningful content for two weeks (Aug 9th)

Taking a break from the greatest sports game of all time? Lol no chance I would ever take a break
