For those saying they’re not playing Season 2
-
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.

I did the same. Nothing at all even looked interesting, let alone good.
I don't understand wanting to do all of that over again after just having finished the first time.

this season's thing is horse-bleep
-
There is literally no way. SDS, this the best you got with NCAA coming? Good luck. You will most certainly need it.

As of three weeks ago, I had completed every program and was still at only 300k in the season XP. I realized how much of a grind I would have to do just to get Pettite, and it seemed too daunting. Now that Season 2 has started, and I know I can't get him, I've lost all motivation to play.
TA was ruined for me last year, and made even worse this year. They gave out less cards and made the season sets too hard to complete.
I played this game for the grind and earning all the players in sets. Now, it feels like the game is geared towards buying packs and playing online. It's just not for me anymore. It really sucks, and I'm sure I'll pick it up from time to time this year, but I won't be buying next year. The Show is clearly going in the direction of EA Madden, and I left that 4 years ago for the same reasons.

I looked at the S2 TA player card rewards and there is nobody I was thrilled about getting.

I'm watching The Summer Games Fest show

I have no idea why anyone who doesn't have gamepass would buy this game to play. I love sports but the grind....the micro transactions.....the cuts to stub making in every way.

They could just enjoy baseball. Remember the good old days when we played sports games just because we enjoyed the sport? Back before Ultimate Team modes were even a thought in a devs mind?

HA! I play this series on gamepass primarily but for some deranged reason thought I'd also purchase it on PS5 this year to 'support the developers'. Well the jokes on me isn't it!
Right before I read your post I had called gamestop to see how much the trade in value was for this game on PS5. $22!! Better than nothing right!?
-
Not that anyone would care, but I'm an offline player only. I played a lot (in my opinion) and I still didn't earn enough for the first boss pack. I am tired of fighting with this game daily. I love baseball and I love TheShow presentation, but everything else is horrid (offline xp, seasons, stellar cpu fielding, well placed hits for outs, bad placed hits for base hits, I could go on and on. The final nail is when they double down on "No gameplay changes at this time", just screams arrogance and a lack of care. I choose to opt out of S2, will see if I get the baseball bug to purchase next year... but, I kinda doubt I will.

I truly hope you stick to your guns as this is the ONLY way to assure seasons goes away after this year. If you voice your displeasure, Nomatter how loudly…But then go and grind Season 2 anyway then SDS will see you as compliant and not care what you say as long as you play. And nothing will change. The only way seasons goes is if enough people simply don’t play the game - THAT’S IT. Because complaining on forums or saying you don’t like it on a survey does nothing - absolutely nothing if you play anyway. That is ALL sds will care about and nothing will change.
For those that are playing season 2 - This post isn’t targeting you, Have fun. This is just addressing the people that claim they are quitting on Friday. Those are the only people I care about right now & REALLY hope they follow through.
I booted the game up, realized how creatively devoid it was, and probably won't even be booting up DD again until after the All-Star game.

Those days were great...the kids now will never know them unfortunately

To be fair, this is likely neither of those things.
Its a lack of resources. SDS probably cares, but Sony does not. -
IMO, "to be fair" is those who absolve them and whitewash over it with excuses. But, that's just me.
-
I tried playing today and just gave up, I don't feel like grinding for 89 rated cards again.
-
@TPRwell_XBL same here. Just 0 motivation to do any of this. All of the TA cards are bad. They released one good card today that is actually attainable right now and it’s in a chase pack. I’ve already grinded for a bunch of collection fodder just to earn cards that will have to be put away within weeks, I don’t think I can bring myself to do all that again
-
I'm not playing. [censored] doing this grind all over again for cards you barely get to use.
