I typically play one game a year. For years, it was Madden. The year that The Show came to Xbox (21), I decided this would be my game.
Been playing The Show now for 3 years. In that time, it has become increasingly a steep uphill grind. Like a job type grinding. That is nowhere near fun.
It is still early in the Madden season. I am strongly considering going back and making that my game.
This makes sense. I haven't played 2k since 21 and that is why i'm thinking of trying it out.
MLB is to the point were i've done the same thing over and over, I just don't have the desire to do it anymore.I wish the devs would actually take a poll of who enjoys content vs not.

They just did a survey for S3. That was the perfect place to give them your input. I'm sure they'll do one for S4 too.

LOL! i didn't say a "Survey" i said a Poll. I couldn't get through the first set 1 or set 2 surveys becuase it was a bunch of BS questions that took forever lol.

But - there are a lot of text boxes in the surveys to add your comments for the different areas of the game.

If they cared or took my opinions that would have to make a completely new game and of course that would require effort haha

Hey bud. There is no need for a survey. All you need to do is read everyone's response to set 4 release and they would know how the majority feels about this game now.

Very true. All I was saying was that they did ask for input. They are getting a ton of early input on S4, whether they like it or not.

I have grown to hate the TA's. It's is so boring. Load up a team and play the Tigers. A's, Royals, Pirates or Nationals on Rookie and score 40 runs a game and get your stats. Rinse, Lather and Repeat. I'm not washing my hair for goodness sakes. I'm pulling it out now.

I haven't done any of the missions or moments for TA3 yet, and I have all of them over half done. This is due to MTO, conquest, and the repeatables. Once I really get into them, They'll go fast for me.
-
I’m still playing. I absolutely hate football and basketball games these days. If that’s what you like then go for it. My suggestion to break up the grind would be a non-sports title.

The game design this year isn't conducive to 'fun'. Normally I don't mind a good grind, just pop on some music, a movie, audiobook, etc. and I'll eventually get through it. But this year the grind really doesn't stop (exception - when they just disappear for 2 weeks during a season). Even with this setup I'd still probably be ok with the massive grind, the problem is that the rewards are mid as can be, and only useful to collect for the cards we really want. So grind a lot for 1-2 great cards, or grind a ton for 3. Repeat every 8 weeks. And I do mean repeat, every TA has been the same.
I keep going back to memories of '21. TA that year was so good. The actual team rewards were fantastic, tons of packs & stubs. There was none of this 97 all year nonsense, none of these cards that won't ever see the light of day after their missions are done.
I'm only still playing for the programs I do enjoy, namely POTM. I still like conquest, though I think they really should add auto complete of the map once all the strongholds are taken. But then, even in CQ the pack rewards have been lackluster compared to prior years.
The real reason for all the game's shortcomings this year is the increased focus and push for more microtransactions. Games never get better when that becomes the main goal of the developers. And unless this game is a financial loser for SDS it's only going to get worse going forward. You don't just try it out and then go back to old, more player friendly ways.
-
Actually yes i am still having fun, just completed the NL Central for TA4 yesterday and i'm now working on finishing the AL West while collecting any cards i'm missing in the process.
-
Personally, I'm not having as much fun. I will meander my way through season 4. There are a few cards I'm looking forward to (I'm looking at you Jimmie Foxx). I always get the BR and RS reward (non sell), but man, this go around the rewards are pretty weak. I'll probably do the BR route to get the Core cards.
Once again... WHEN IS THE NEXT CORE COLLECTION??? If you make me work to get all of these silver and gold card for nothing... Well... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Strike three.
-
I am , I enjoy this game . Even with all it's problems.
-
I’m not. I work 10 hours a day and come home and play for 2 hours and can’t compete with guys running all the Griffey cards, the Trout cards, the Mantle cards, the Randy Johnson cards that play 7-8 hours a day.
-
Not really. Just sort of taking my time now.
-
I am, I don’t play as much online as I used to, when I do I prefer co-op with a friend. Other than that I’ll play ranked or BR if the rewards are enticing, but they haven’t been for me lately. And I used to play events more, but once again, the rewards have been pretty Meh.
-
Haven’t played since SDS went MIA at the end of Set 3.
I’d recommend starting a RTTS. Play on legend and make the sliders even harder. That was the most fun I’ve had playing this year. Make it so you have to be totally locked in just to hit .300.
Game plays way more realistic. Different hit types, fielders aren’t god tier. It was actually fun for me.
-
I haven't had fun in this game in forever. I'm suffocating in the CPU grinding. I put in 3-4 hours a day on TA grinding and still only about 50% on most of the divisions. I play ranked and match up with a player with a mediocre record and not a Meta team, and give up 7 runs on homeruns.
I try and find things i want to do in the game, but i've done it all.
I've made WS multiple times, I've completed BR and Event programs.
I've done all of the offline stuff multiple times.
I just wish there was something else to do that would help me have fun again. -

This for me. PUBG console is wrecked with mods/mnk (actually think I watch more TV now than anything) and when I play I would rather play that game still.
First weekend of Sets 1, 2 and 3 I did the moments, showdowns and conquest to get around 50%. I did this because I used to enjoy RS and getting good cards for that. Now, everything is non-sellable and online play is horrible on my fiber internet. I am at 0% on Set 4. I don't fault them for trying sets but this game feels like 18. Bad online play and ridiculous grinds for not much reward. I also didn't do the last BR program or the last I don't know 3 events.
