Come on back to 23 with me Bleeder those teams you had were incredible and those sickity sweet unis you made. My sons been playing this years game and he said he’s not feeling it either. I’ve been holding off from my purchase waiting for posts from yourself and the other top respected users on here before I made my decision and this says a whole lot but we also gotta give ‘em time to see what adjustments they make
You're still on 23? Yay! I just got a thrill down my spine. We can put together a couple of teams and have some fun. I'm not ready to give up on 24 yet, but I don't see myself lasting much longer on it.

Man, I'm just not feeling it. Every time my wife asks how the game is, I say something like "Eh. I'm just not engaged this year."
I literally said the exact same thing to my wife last weekend (this is @arvcpa by the way). I've played a little RS, I'm about 1/3 of the way through BR, 1/4 of the way through the USA map, and 1/4 of the way through the "main" Mini-Season. I did the Jeter program.
And... I'm not feeling it either. I don't rush to play the game as I used to do in prior years. For me, it's probably playing a ton in the past 4 years. That's OK. I'll just slow-roll it and see how the year plays out. Maybe there will be a new program I'm interested in.
I'm trying to be realistic since the regular season gets in gear this week. Maybe I'll get more excited.
Also... call me when they develop a true Next-Gen version... I'll be collecting Social Security by then.

@Blind_Bleeder it's EA. Let's not get too excited.

Same here. I had time last night to play and after an hour I shut it off. My wife asked why I wasn't playing when I had time and I told here I was bored. I hope all these chapters aren't rinse and repeat like last year, but it's not looking good.

@TripleH-4481 Longevity was probably a goner when they brought back expiring cards. If anything, '24 looks to be more strict and I have a hard time imagining a majority of players looking forward to starting over every season.

I get it because I hit a wall midway through last year. After four years of dedicated grinding, the relentless TA model made me call it quits in August.
Maybe just try to focus on what you enjoy about the game whether it be a specific task or something that doesn't feel like homework. For me as a Yankees fan, I just want to build the ultimate Yankees team this year so that is my mission. Don't have to grind everything to completion and can just focus on the cards I want. Of course they dangled a 99 Andy Pettitte out the gate so I am committed to getting that card, but I've enjoyed being more casual about things. Makes it more fun and way more attainable especially if you don't have tons of time to grind away.

That's a really good approach. I decided to push through March to October today, and I'm beginning to enjoy it with a few games under my belt. And, I don't get upset when a CPU team beats a stacked team of diamonds because I'm playing with a team that is pretty much the same level as the CPU teams.
-
I felt this way first night when it was released but now almost a week later I am sort of back into the game.
I really like the gameplay advancements this year over the previous years. Yes DD modes have become stale but the gameplay itself makes up for it. Feel like this year the CPU is really playing baseball.

For me, a lot of the fire or desire to play stems from if the real season is going on.
Opening day is this week, and I haven't been into Spring Training that much.
This game has taken me away from NHL, my #1 sports game, though! -
