New game mode for online in 2024.
-
I have an offline mode to add into the mix. Road to the Hall. It plays like Road to the Show but you take a young player and play out their career and try and get them into the Hall of Fame. I don’t know how they’d pick the eligible player. Service time or age would work.

Events, ranked, BR its basically all we have in DD, Would love a true Post season mode. 1rst round, you get 5 games, but you must win 3 of those 5 games to advance. Second round you get 7 games to win 4, if you win 4 you advance to your "world series" win 4 and You get a ring, earning rings can be exchanged in a "ticket counter esque" The ticket counter cards would still be obtainable through tickets, you'd just have a harder time earning tickets rather than rings. This would help so many continue to play the game, and rings are cumulative and rewards would change each month.
How long have you played this series?

I’d love to see the ability to have your pitcher be able to switch up their delivery during the game ala Dave Cone. At least in rtts mode so you wouldn’t have people exploiting it against human opponents. I think it would be cool to do an input before the pitch similar to a mortal combat fatality where a straight overhand pitcher could drop down to submarine out of nowhere and just baffle the batter. I used to love watching Coney mix it up like he did back in the day. I think it’d be neat

Ability to chose a different pitcher for windup and stretch. A different batter for batting right and batting left as a switch hitter.

I’d be extremely pleased with that

It was called 'The Laredo' I think. That was cool.
Who could forget Cone in this?

https://youtu.be/0_RZlqqoPRI?si=2AiUU_7ucAKSmJhlHaha nailed it. That mirror scene is second only to the one Paul Rudd did in wanderlust. Granted it’s a very distant second place but second all the same lol. Now I gotta go and watch Rudds I’m laughing just thinking about it now
Coney had great pitch selection while Rudd had….a different type of selection haha

Events, ranked, BR its basically all we have in DD, Would love a true Post season mode. 1rst round, you get 5 games, but you must win 3 of those 5 games to advance. Second round you get 7 games to win 4, if you win 4 you advance to your "world series" win 4 and You get a ring, earning rings can be exchanged in a "ticket counter esque" The ticket counter cards would still be obtainable through tickets, you'd just have a harder time earning tickets rather than rings. This would help so many continue to play the game, and rings are cumulative and rewards would change each month.
Just add Directional, Timing, or Zone only ranked modes.
Zone sweats dominate. While timing and directional will never have a chance.

This sounds a lot like mini seasons postseason format.

I want RS to be split into difficulties.
I’m 38. I have no desire to get to WS and play legend or even HoF. My reaction time is pretty bad nowadays so AS is enough for me.
I want to be able to get to 900 but in AS.
I’ve been banging on about this idea.
Make WS in AS and you get I dunno. A pick of 95s
Make WS in HoF and you get a pick of 97s
Make WS in Legend and you can get 99s etc
When I reach 700s. I pretty much stop playing ranked. It’s too hard. You can bang the get good at me. But I want to have fun for my 45 minutes and I enjoy ranked over anything else.

You want to win a WS on all star to get 95s when there are 99s available at launch?

@aware_ward13
It’s just an idea. It’s fair the say the WS rewards this game have been poor.

Yea I agree the WS rewards have been very lackluster this year
And yea there’s needs to be a new online mode for sure

@Jacky-Chan1 Zone sweats? directional takes no input, Evryone uses Zone becuase its direct to user input.
