Lack of Developers in the Forum

"The Devs should spend less time working on the game and more time browsing message boards" is one heck of a take!
Not even close to what I was insinuating.

I read almost everything.
I did that for a couple of years, I also got dragged into many arguments over petty semantics as a result. When I realised that this forum may be giving me a negative perception of the game, I decided that I wouldn’t visit TSN this year, I’d just play the game and ignore everything else. Then I came back to submit a bug report and here I am, reading almost everything again. I just can’t help myself, apparently.
I for one am glad you're back, was wondering where you were. Just don't let the negativity and trolling get to you.
Well thanks. I do try not to!

They are embarrassed by the game.

Dud,e that's cause the developers are looking and laughing at all the people complaining about the fielding being bad, which its totally fine....I've never seen an outfielder not play a ball properly. Or pitch speeds being too fast, which it should be a bit faster.
Dont you only play offline? Could be just a H2H issue ?

Colin, can you tell me why the spring training unis for the team are outdated? Small gripe but this should be fixable

This game is simply not fun online . I would love to hear reasons for the change in online. The timing window has gotten so small or something. I was basically playing 19 everyday online and now we roll into 20. I get the firsts weeks was too easy to hit - but why not keep the online settings from ‘19 into ‘20. Maybe the perfect/perfect mechanic screwed that up. Anyhoots. Agree, where is an explanation for this ‘not fun’ game?

Hi Ramone
There’s a few mlb players that disagree with you.

With all the complaints going around the forums, whether it be hitting, pitching, fielding, etc., you never see a single community manager, moderator, or developer commenting on any thread. Even if it's a simple question that a developer could answer, you never see one.
I just don't understand how on their own community forums, we are all left to complain within ourselves. I understand chances are they look at the forum and certain threads, but i remember last year and especially in 18, you would see threads with developers commenting all the time, even if it was mostly Victor or Colin. Is the toxicity that drove them away? Toxicity of complaints would not be such a problem if they actually were transparent enough to tell us things outside of twitter.
Thoughts?I don't blame them one bit. Every time one of them replies they get hammered with 5000 questions and insults.

Given how things are, probably best not to engage with this community.
Look at what happens on Twitter when they post about maintenance.

Collin -- That's great, you and others read almost everything, but we aren't interested in your literacy. We want communication.
Twitter resets the same server message almost everyday. We had a few threads about updates but those stopped too. We asked devs questions for weeks and weeks prior to launch on pressing issues and they were never addressed: Online Franchise and Sounds of the Show come to mind. Information on pressing issues is revealed through people purchasing, playing the game and finding out something has changed or is not longer in the game.
We want community managers who are willing to be upfront and honest with the community they serve. Not a development team that stays hush-hush on pressing issues because they do not want to negatively impact profits.
Honest and open dialogue is not always comfortable and its usually the right thing to do. Lean-in to the uncomfortable conversation; Be open and honest.
The game plays beautifully when it is firing on all cylinders. As someone who absolutely detest card collection games modes (they have ruined sports games), I tell people that DD is the best version of them all. I have pulled three buddies into the game, and they love it.
The shame is that the games issues are only further exacerbated due to a lack of communication from the team that put the game together.
Thank you for taking the time to sift through the threads. Now communicate with people that use them with a little more content then informing us that you can read.

resetting the servers to handle all the back-logged data (due to everything being online because everything connects to DD) is not maintenance. Further more, no one on the dev teams is telling us what the issue(s) is and what steps they are taking to address the specific issue(s).

Because they're not proactive with their communication and resolutions.

Do they have enough people to fix the issues that are being reported, Do they have enough people to look at all the tickets that are submitted in a timely matter. How are tickets prioritized. If my reported issue is not going to be fixed or resolved can I get a response to why or a request for more data or proof. i submit a ticket get a automated message it is being looked into and that is the end of it. No response it was fixed or we can not fix it or we need more proof. They did address the server issues in the last stream.

I'm not arguing the semantics of the word 'maintenance'. Though you are correct, trash day would be more apt.
I'm not in any way shilling here but if I were them, I wouldn't want to deal with the vitriol either. Look at what happened after the make right, 'BEST DEVS EVER!', two hours later, 'GARBAGE DEVS!'
Yeah, they have it coming but they don't need to fan the flames dealing with the 'experts' everyday.
Stop talking and get on with the job is my take. Platitudes do nothing, working does. Though, they aren't doing well on the latter so far.
-
Doesn’t seem like they care much about the fan base. Look at the issues posted compared to the update reports.

I read almost everything.
I submitted a ticket April 28th when I lost 36,714 stubs on the market after a buy order for yelich just disappeared along with my stubs. Haven’t heard a peep from CS other than the automatically generated email they send right away. I’ve emailed back twice now and not a single reply.
