Mini Seasons request
-
Listen, before I begin I completely understand that people want a faster game. As someone that rarely plays online I agree too. But as for playing offline in an online game mode, I have a couple requests.
1- first time I’ve played since July, when did the replays and the franchise mode feel get taken away? One of the few things I enjoyed about that mode. Hopefully in 25 there can be a settings option where I can turn on “broadcast” feel instead of “fast play”. Wish you could do a setting also for Playing vs CPU. Some of us that aren’t online play all the time like the immersion
2- I was hoping to have a 9 inning style of a mini season as well. I personally dislike the 3 inning games. I understand why it’s a thing but it’s not baseball to me. Again with the immersion, it’s just something that fits right. I know I’m in the tiniest of minorities with this but I think it would be fun to have
3- Real stats for the cpu teams. Last night I had a game where the announcer goes “Here’s Jackie Robinson. He leads the team in RBI” and I hit R2 to see and he has 0 RBI thru 5 games. Next batter up says they have 4 RBI but a .045 average. Idk how you get a .045 avg thru 5 three inning games haha just wish there was some sort of consistency

I was going to give you the “yep, you’re in the minority and that’s an awful idea” post and then be done with it. But here’s a realistic break down.
1- unless there are useful rewards I don’t really play mini seasons. So I can’t say that I noticed the cut scenes and replays. But I can with certainty tell you that I don’t need an auto replay after every single play. The interface is fine. But the replays are super annoying.
- I’d love to see a breakdown of who actually plays mini seasons. I can’t imagine it’s played a ton. But I’d imagine it’s higher up than play vs cpu. I don’t think a 9 inning mini season is the way. Because people would find a way to exploit it. And I don’t think people would play it. I’d compromise and give you 6 innings, possibly with quick counts.
3- I think it’s just a coding error. I’d imagine that the stat coding for mini seasons fell through the cracks, mostly because of the randomness of how the squads are selected. But also because of the aforementioned “people don’t play it” comment.

@dmc04005_PSN see I completely understand you. That’s why I wish there was a setting where I can change it. You can still have the fast play set and I can still enjoy the offline Diamond Dynasty and still feel immersed
