Lack of content

Right now I'm doing TA from 55k to 120k that's a lot of packs right now I'm at 13 teams 120k TA points. It gives me something to do until 4/11 and to get things squared away just in case there's added TA rewards on 4/25 with the TA collection.

It's insane to me that anyone could say there isn't content. First of all TA lasts all year, that's the meaty grind. It becomes unrealistic to ever take a break if they release more than they already have! I've been playing since early access and I finally feel like i have a couple days that I can play other games (or maybe even touch grass!) while I wait for the new DQ tomorrow. Don't get me wrong I love the game but it is wholly unrealistic to say that multiple content drops a week is "lacking"

@trfatboy22_PSN Excatly … I missed week 1. I play A LOT (prox 3 hours per day). Today I finished the last ride program, the first spotlight program. With that, all programs are done for me.
Yesterday I completed the multiplayer program (I know this does not count for the sake of this thread).
I completed all DQ (only 1 try each).
I completed every Conquest map
I have prox 22 TA Jolt BossesBut: I just started the TA Mini season. Right now I am sitting at 10 wins
So: In order to do everything you have to either play a lot and/or be good. But if it would be more I would get that people are frustrated too.
In other words: Perfect pacing to me

The thing is that content (in theory) takes very little resources, so there is no excuse not to have more of it.
For example, they could add stuff behind westburg pretty easily in the spotlight program and make some grindy missions to go along with it like hit 10 HR with Westburg, steal 20 bases with Kameron Misner, etc. Just give non unique rewards for it, new threads packs, spotlight pack, etc
And what they have done with carlton/mantle adds even more possibilities. Get 127 RBI with last ride players in Conquest/MiniSeasons/DQ for a shinier looking Papi

Honestly a repeatable large conquest map like the old full USA map would easily fill the gaps between content drops. You could grind TA on it while earning some packs. I get you could just do Diamond Quest over and over but I'm not sure you're gaining much for the TA grind.

@Teak2112_MLBTS While I get what you are saying and would concede it if they do it. I personally wouldn't want them to do this. Because I WANT to complete everything but I just can't burnout trying to get super grindy missions done or I would stop playing altogether. Which in theory might be why they aren't doing as you suggest.

Perhaps they could have a challenges page out of the way, sort of like how TA is, where you would only go look at it if you want to.
One of the things NBA 2K25 does right is they have added rewards for wins in the offline modes that no sane person would complete. But its easy to set your own goal: just grab the 50 win one? push for 200? In the end you arent missing out by not doing it, but the carrots are at least decent (unlike TA, I am not motivated by a 1k stub space or a single ballin pack, or securing a card that releases in 3 months).

@Teak2112_MLBTS This would kind of throw a monkey wrench in the whole "Play how you want" argument if your "More Content" idea involves making people use a card just to unlock some more packs...

Have I played too much lol, or is there a lack of content. I've completed all the conquest maps, all the programs, showdowns, diamond quest, and mini seasons. I've got nothing to play except vs CPU to keep grinding team affinity.
Yes, you've played too much.

SDS wouldnt 'make' people do anything. Its bonus grinding for people that want it. No different than saying SDS is making you repeat the mini season 3 or 4 times until you get the 100 HR and 150 XBH missions done (which is what I am currently doing personally)
