Team Building and Power Creep
-
-
Also I hate playing 9 inning games online - and almost never wanna do it. Three innings is fine. I got kids and lots of distractions - hate feeling glued to one game for an hour (especially with all the lag and jank of online games)

@YOSHI24_XBL thats because they had a switch hitting captain. Just add the system back but don’t have switch hitter captains is all.
I agree on the switch-hitter, because it built THE Meta lineup … I do not agree on your last sentence. As long as there are meta lineups in a ranked mode they will be used more often than others, especially experimenting lineups with your binder.
Therefore .. imo:- Ranked should be ranked. Best lineup vs best lineup
- Do experimenting stuff somewhere else. Let guys compete with restrictions … let‘s see who collected best and/or is able to built good lineups with his/her binder… this could be less than 9 inning games too like @rubicante23_PSN asked for

Yeah all the people talking about lineup variety, when I ran into Buxton nearly exclusively early and then the switch hitters later on. I hate to say it, but any variety was caused by the expiring cards last year when they expired fast.
2023 had the Ripken team, but the issue is the captains were in packs. My favorite captain was the SS captain. That was fun and I played with that team quite a bit.

Yes, and this is what not having lineup variety looks like … Everybody plays his god squad, because they can and because fielding a team with higher winning pct gets more rewards
That is why „we“ ask for a new mode with more restrictions.
And Buxton was not it bc most ppl had way better options

What are your guys thoughts on a salary cap for DD? Lets say you get 100 points to build a team, and for instance the new John Don would cost 25 points, milestone Chipper 15 points, HOF Billy Wagner 9 points, Finest Jimmy Rollins 18 points, and so on…
It’s always insane to me that SDS releases all these cards and 99.99% of them just end up being collection fodder. I would love to see/use more variety on Ranked.

@Auburn2525_XBL
We have this. It’s called Battle Royale -
I’d boycott the game if they did this. As much as I want to see more lineup diversity in the game, I can’t say I’m not guilty of having a few switchies (but they don’t take up all of my lineup so I guess it’s okay

I feel the power creep was very good until we got 95s then I fell like we went straight to 99s
Finest wont be superior to what we have now... So like the og post says it feels lateral. I didn't play this weekend because I don't feel that invisible pressure to keep up

This 100 percent .I predicted all star to be 94-95 with the best being 96, if that happened we'd just be starting to get our first 99s now, and I think we all would have been more engaged throughout and it would have been better for the game.
