Starting with the most obvious thing that impacts every single game, every single play... the new font. The new font makes nearly every number in the game illegible.
Oofff. I'll agree with you here. Every time I enter an online game, I have to squint and pray that I can see my opponent's record when it flashes on-screen for 1.5 seconds.
Also, I have to stop for a minute to think "Does that say I have 11 Standard Packs or 77?" It's always 11 though
11 or 77, you're still not getting a diamond lol
-
Guess I shouldn't be enjoying '24.....
-
Sadly, until another game developer steps in and provides some competition, SDS gets free reign to release half-a$$ed junk every year without consequence
-
@a761506 there isn't no 99 pitchers in the game, you don't have to play offline to complete team affinity, you can just play online, clearly you bought the game and never played it...I do agree the white screen is annoying
-
The UI is definitely a struggle, but I think gameplayâs at the best spot itâs been in years. And Iâll second the return of the power creep. Itâs fun to build a squad up over time again. I look forward to Topps Now and Monthly rewards as well.
-
@BJDUBBYAH oh god no, 937 moments and stat missions that puts you behind in every other program.
-
@yankblan lol. Fair point. Iâll rephrase, Iâm excited for the cards from those programs.
-
Most of the bad things are things that they can fix.
-
Please tell me you're all joking and just need glasses or something?
-
The potential is there for it to be really good. I do agree about the fonts and white screens. Not sure why they went that way with so many discussions elsewhere about eye damage from staring at white and bright screens. I think a darker background would also look better. I mean, this is also coming from someone (me) that hates white-soled shoes too.
-
It seems almost exactly like last years game but you can't use last seasons players you grind for in the next.
-
@Brando-TheGreat1 I donât see the comparison to â23. Gameplay is considerably better and there is the potential for four wild card spots as opposed to one from â23. What do you mean you canât use your cards in the next season?
-
@Honor_The_Game44 I'm loathe to praise '23 for anything, but being able to use set cards in the current season and the next is better than '24 having locked season cards. Yes, they said you can get up to 4 WCs, but we have no idea when you can unlock 4 (my guess is the last season) nor how they are unlocked at all.
-
Agreed. Been playing since 18 and this is by far the worst one. We really need a new company. SDS has ruined baseball gaming sadly.
-
@Honor_The_Game44 your one of the few people who think the abiur gameplay. Itâs copy and paste from last year. It appears better because you arenât facing 95 OVR plus pitchers to start off like last year.
Also the wildcard slots this year are obtained via the reward path. They said on the launch stream itâll be at the end of the reward path of set 2. Considering 15,000 is the XP path, you wonât more than 1 wildcard until about the last week or 2 of the season.
-
@KingJonEric I completely agree this game plays better now than it will later in the year, due to the lack of high overall cards. But I don't think I am the only person who thinks gameplay is better...actually I know I am not. It is far from copy/paste...fielder urgency is different, balls blocked by the catcher are different and more realistic, pitching is more challenging, hitting seems to provide more realistic outcomes based on PCI location and timing (I am not talking about hits/outs...but EV, launch, etc.) I guess some might not find it better, but definitely not a copy/paste.
-
@crash447 ehhh I respect your opinion but Iâve read more people call it copy and paste then anything else. I also feel the same.
-
This is a serious post? Iâm nearly blind and donât have an issue with the 6, 8 or 9 in the numbers. I can also tell by the speed the player is moving if he starts with a 6 or 8.
Also, under the settings there is an audio/video. Iâm sure you can turn down whatever you wish to zero.
-
@fubar2k7 nah he typed all of that and the following comments also that were typed by other people werenât serious either.
