Too early to care about MLBTS 24?
-
I typically choose one game and that’s my game “for the year”. Used to be Madden. Tried MLB in 21 and loved it!!
Last year was a bit of a grind. This year…..
Maybe the sheen had worn off, but there’s a lot that I didn’t like in 23. Inconsistent gameplay between DD modes. TA grind was WAY too long. TA collection. The “5,000” 99 Kyle Schwarbers. I could go on.
I’m seriously thinking of going back to Madden. Maybe taking a year off MLB will bring back the newness.
We will see.

I'm playing here and there to fill out my Pirates collection but yes, definitely lost interest. TBD if I get 24..

I'm definitely getting '24, and should be playing this into February.
Luckily, I've gotten farther into HUT in NHL than ever before. I used to only play EASHL online team play, but not much this year, yet. That should get me through until '24 drops. I quit Madden in '19. It's too animation-based, and a mess. -
Definitely not getting '24 or any future installments beyond that. '23 was mostly a slog, with the same program over and over, only the names being changed. Rewards were collection fodder with the best cards being in packs. They did switch things up a bit near the end of the content cycle, but the damage had been done with a huge chunk of the player already gone.
I lost faith in SDS completely, but beyond that I probably wouldn't be getting future games regardless. I've just had more than my fill of the grind to build a team. It just isn't fun anymore.

Will Live Series Ohtani be listed as a DH or will he still have SP attributes?

Nobody but SDS knows … we‘ll find out in about 8-10 weeks.
My guess: He will be DH with no pitching attributes on his live series card -

My guess: He will be DH with no pitching attributes on his live series cardThey'll want people to buy stubs so they can buy his card; so they'll give him pitching attributes.
They'll justify it by saying that it's based on the last 2-3 years, and since he pitched during that time, he gets pitching attributes.

He didn’t pitch in 2019 but retained pitching attributes. They didn’t have DH position back then but they made him an outfielder. Don’t forget people play franchise and play more than a season and in real life he will pitch again. They don’t need to justify anything to anyone but they do base the cards off 3 season and he pitched in those season.

I forgot about the 3-year-thing … You‘re absolutely right. They put up the stats on a „rolling 3-year-system“. So he will def have pitching attributes (did he play OF the last 3 years though?)

He played 7 games in the OF in 2021 (for a total of 8.1 innings):
