For those saying they’re not playing Season 2

@Imbeater_MLBTS said in For those saying they’re not playing Season 2:
I stopped playing for 3 weeks during season 1 because I was tired of all the packs and lack of programs. I came back to finish season 1. I was pretty happy with how they finished season 1. They gave a lot of the packs out for free. I’ll be playing season 2 but yeah I’m over the season format.
The game is in a really bad place right now. Content hasn’t been good, gameplay hasn’t been good. This isn’t a good sign for the game only being out like 3 months. This season will make or break this game so SDS better do it right.
Most likely break it. The player base has a problem with seasons itself.

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN PXP is earned in other modes besides ranked or conquests. Different amounts are earned by difficulty level. Yes, more is earned in Ranked Legend than in vs CPU Legend, but it’s still earned.
I play casual on legend and HoF. No. You don't gain PxP in casual.
-
You gain PXP in MS, vs CPU as well offline.

@yankblan_PSN My biggest complaint is not being able to gain ANY PxP in casual or co-op if you are not the host of the game.
It's odd that the reason is to prevent cheesing or over grinding casual for the PxP but they are totally ok with doing that for CPU games? Such a dumb thing to do. For players who have time to burn for that kind of grind offline is exactly how you'd do it. You wouldn't grind a non MMR based PvP mode if you wanted PxP fast and easy.
I also have zero desire to play offline against CPU as I don't have many hours to offer and I didn't buy a competitive sports just to play bots all night.
I am also not going to play offline to put time into a card for PxP only to not be able to use them in ranked anyways. It's the dumbest pigeon hold on XP I think I've ever seen. -

It's the dumbest pigeon hold on XP I think I've ever seen.Personally, I always play vs the CPU...I don't work my nuts off and stress all day to come home and reach a whole new level of stress with the fuckery that is online play. Plus as a married dude I gotta be able to pause if the wife asks me for help with something...which is almost a guarantee the second I sit down, right fellas? I've got extracurriculars like my own baseball etc.
Do I wanna play online? Yeah. But I don't wanna get my $hit pounded in and hate the game.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN I absolutely get that and live that same life LMAO so I feel you. I just don't enjoy sports games against bots. That's a personal preference too. I don't like shooters either against bots. To me it's just not rewarding. RPGs and adventure games are perfectly fine against CPU as that's kind of the whole purpose.
I just wish I could gain that PxP through casual. I build and test lots of cards and captain combinations and I feel very unrewarded playing 3 casual games in a row with no xp to show for it. Ranked and BR is mega sweaty and more freeze off prevalent than casual. So for me I have to play out of my normal genre if I wanted to gain the PxP.
-
100% agree with this take. To each their own but I work hard enough and have plenty of stress in my real day to day life so the last thing I need is a sweat fest doing online play. I get my competitive fix elsewhere and try not to take the game too seriously because in the end it is just a video game. Yes, I’m critical of the game because the downfall the past few years is tough to swallow. I love baseball and just want to play the game to have fun and not feel like my time is being wasted.
-
@AdeptOfMemory_PSN you will never see PXP earned in casual because people will throw games for their friends so they can get huge amounts at a time.

Sooooo what you mean to say is, SDS can't fix their queue system because we already have an invite your friends to a 1v1 and casual search queue is meant to find a random person. That's not a player problem, that's a poor development problem. Also, if you can break the queue system to randomly find your friends then the game is dead. Not enough of a playerbase if it does a random queue into your own friends.
Nice bandaid, SDS. Punish the players PxP from our game modes, add daily XP caps, and make sets and seasons wit power creeps to prevent stacking earned 99 cards. SDS only knows how to punish players. Not fix the issue. Wild.
-
@AdeptOfMemory_PSN I was wondering how long it would take for you to post your “I hate SDS. SDS sucks.” theme. I’ll admit, you were sounding rational for a while. I don’t know why you play a game you hate so much.
-
@Blind_Bleeder_PSN when did I ever say those two things?
Idk how you don't see this as an SDS issue and not the players issues. So weird. -
not playing season 2 is cutting your nose off to spite your face , you already given your money to them , only not buying next year will ring your message loud and clear , i took last year as a skip year because you could not finish programs without playing multiplayer before , i despise multi , so i was sick of throwing my money at them , they had started loosening their grip on the cards it was not enough , so seasons is new to me , dont care for it , i think the energy would have been better utilized in shoring up game quality and function , this is like having a car that runs like Sh** and buying a $2k stereo system for it instead of putting it into making it run better , except at least with the car you would have nice tunes while you are broke down
-
@hoo_pharted_PSN Exactly this; the best way to send a message is to not buy; that ship has sailed.
Too many "I won't buy next year" inevitably come back when they start to get that itch in early March and you can't grind stuff from past games that aren't live anymore to hold you over.

@yankblan_PSN i do COD on skip years of the show

Here’s the thing…I’m a whale. I freely & openly admit I am a whale. I used to spend $3000 every year on this game when I played it year round. Last season I stopped playing when the Season 1 cards were eliminated. I had spent $2000 at that point, Didn’t spend another dollar so that cost them $1000 from me. This year I have spent $1000 and am only playing regs come tomorrow. So that’s $2000 SDS is losing from me this year and that makes $3000 total since they went the route of Seasons. So yes….Myself & other whales can absolutely affect their bottom line. But please - Tell me how not buying the $60 game is hurting them more than this? Oh and SDS employees look me up and verify what I’ve said here for yourselves.

Because you're probably 1 player in 10,000 that spends like that. If only 1000 of those other folks stop buying the game it has 20 times the impact of your spending. That's what SDS has to worry about long term

I don't know if I agree or disagree with this take, because it actually makes sense. I think I'm ticked because I splurged this year and bought myself the deluxe edition...and was overwhelming underwhelmed once I saw the XP payouts, which two weeks in I was doing the math and realized I won't even get close to a boss...for me personally began to feel like it was all for naught, know what I mean? I want to feel like my time spent playing would at least get me one or two of them like in previous years
-
I’m honestly wondering how many people that were planning on playing season 2 will start the grind & then stop after a couple of hours. I’ve seen people on twitter already saying this lol
-
I'll play some but not much honestly. As a cardinals fan they gave me nothing to work for because I will never collect enough for Gibson.
-
I looked at everything and shut the game off. I usually just start grinding away but this is just awful in my opinion. I’m watching Mad Max Fury Road instead. Lol…Furiosa is awesome and worth a movie ticket.
