Is anyone having fun playing this weekend?
-
Maybe 2 hours max since S2 drop. I honestly have zero desire to grind anything and don't really feel like its worth trying as by the time I can probably get one of the XP or S2 bosses it will be time for college football.
Least they could do is drop some wicked new OP 91 OVR (lol) cards so I have something to spend 3.7M stubs on haha

DD is actually much better after you take a long break and come back when sets and seasons are done with. That's what I did last year. Started playing ranked after sets and seasons and there was a ton of double XP to come back to. So you can pretty quickly gain all of the cards you missed out on while playing other video games all summer and part of the fall. Then you can use your whole squad again too and not have to grind offline [censored].

Absolutely, grinding team affinity offline. Just finished the mini season
Did you have any of the TA bosses for the mini seasons?
Oh my yes.
Highly recommend, Bichette, Santander, Rosario, Lewis and Robles

@bostondirtdog21_PSN losing to the AI again is not fun (on all star) it was just getting fun using 99’s and if I want a challenge play online now playing against the cpu is infuriating

If so, how are you making it fun?
I feel like I'm playing the same game on repeat and want to make it more interesting.
I did have a ton of "core" cards that I bought in anticipation of Season 2. I was able to sell them at a enough of a profit that I could complete the Live Series collection. I took the Castillo Captain, took Joc Peterson Dodgers captain, and loaded up my new Season 2 team.
Played through some of the East TA map. Played 2 RS games, won both (started at 400 again, so not a major accomplishment).
It was OK. But like you said, it feels like "repeat". I think the only TA card I'm interested in is Santander. The RS rewards... Meh. Like others have said, it feels like a chore.
-
Its alright. Just waiting on more cubs cards to drop so i can put together my theme team for ranked. Chapman is the S2 collection at 30 so basically working towards that right now.
-
I have zero interest in any of these team affinity cards, so I'm just rolling out my Dodgers team. I'm not a fan of the sets/seasons.
-
DD has really frustrated me this season. Been playing a lot more franchise. That’s been a fun change of pace, but gets boring after a while. Never thought I’d be this disinterested this early in the year, but here we are.
-
At the moment i'm just collecting stubs but this is such a boring grind. Just unlocked my first wildcard so theres that.
-
@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Yeah Santander rakes. I always use his swing for my RTTS player.

I tried to have an open mind about the reset but I wasn’t prepared for the cards to have been worse than day 1. TA 1 had 89 overall cards but some decent names that made them fun to chase and plug in as they were unlocked. With the Buxton boost team building was actually pretty fun especially because we hadn’t just spend months building up a team a sick 99’s that are now worthless. TA 2 seems like they just dug some cards out the trash of prior years, these dudes simply are not relevant nobody wants those cards and I can’t help but think they chose these guys based off pure laziness. Why I have to shelf all my 99’s to grind for a 89 overall future stars Clint Frazier from 6 years is beyond me. Anyways I appreciate the effort from SDS to innovate and make this game more fun and I just don’t think think resetting the power creep 3 times was viable idea without a a clearer/more logical plan for the content
-
having fun in my franchise, not so much DD
-
While I have been pretty down on the content this year. I still have fun when I sit down and play. If I am not enjoying myself then I simply stop and play something else.
I think the other thing that keeps me from getting burned out is that I don't feel the need to complete every piece of content they release.
-
Well said. Not just complaints but a real thought out argument.
I agree wholeheartedly
-
Castillo captain allows me to use different LS cards and or I've used LS cards I didn't have yet. Some other captains I didn't have the first time as well.
So while I'm not a fan of seasons. I had fun, actually the sad part was because of my busy weekend I didn't get to play asuch as I wanted. Total waste of 2x XP weekend.

I've done 2/3 of the conquest map but have all of my available s2 cards at p1 already so I'm waiting for the new programs for the next push.
Playing some BR in the meantime.
Yeah I'm waiting for the Season Awards Weeks 2 and 3 to drop, I mainly played RTTS this weekend. I said I was likely done with the rewards path for S2 and then Doc Halladay is a boss...and I'll be damned if they didn't use Roy Halladay and his 2003 Cy Young as a sub-boss...so now I'm almost contractually obligated as a Jays fan to shoot for it. Dam'n you SDS, dam'n you.

Felt like I spent a lot of time going nowhere

Having the most fun with devshaw double boost. Even bought Witt card to complete collection and get Raul Ibanez 85 turns into 95 to help knock out affinity central and go for Collins catcher that gets double boost. The Schneemann card is double boosted and helped with 5 HR and 15 hits needed to get Castellanos card. Now gotta catch collect them all to see which work with the boost.
-
@MrNintendo_MLBTS now bought the season 2 Morneau 84 card not very expensive and went to 94! Love seeing the increase of different cards either single boost or double. And Lou Gehrig gets his 99 back. Also Casas strong card 89 to 98

Weirdest thing ... I usually play on my PS5 but am on vacation and brought my OLED Switch. I fired up the game for the Switch in our hotel room. I then went into my Mini Seasons for grinding and when it came time to choose my stadium, a "Custom Stadium" option briefly came up and I saw some custom stadiums to choose from. None were mine, but I could choose other custom ones. However, after I changed tabs for other stadiums (Minors, MLB, etc) that custom stadium tab no longer comes up.I know you play on the Switch, so I thought that I would ask you. Did they add custom stadiums for the Switch? If not, I wonder why I saw that Custom Stadium tab....Have you noticed anything like this?
