rops universally were terrible.
Personally that's a hard and strong disagree from me. I think the Sets were god awful
That's fine, i didn't mention sets. I mentioned seasons.
Sets and Seasons are two unrelated concepts. In fact, expiring cards is also unrelated.
Seasons are just longer innings. Nothing more, nothing less. Sets were just the cards that released during those innings. You know what else is a set? Moonshot. Or New Threads. or Jolt.
SDS could make New Thread cards unusable during inning 8 if they wanted too, so you could have the thing people hated in 2023 and 2024 without using either the word sets or seasons.
My issue, is that as a mainly offline player, innings drops were just normal Fridays, if not worse. You had a spotlight program. Maybe a small conquest, maybe not. You never had a mini season, which was a staple in 2023 and 2024. You never had a big program to work towards. It was just the xp track which is mostly passive anyway (and cornerstone, which imo wasnt well done)
In short, i treated innings drops as a week off and I would come back when they released more things to do
Seasons, on the other hand, coincided with TA drops so there was always a LOT to do.
Part of this is TA sucked this year, but that combined with hollow innings really killed a lot of my enthusiasm for DD.

Team Affinity was good, just needed rewards between 400K and 1.5M. I completed everyteam to get the finest reward voucher by mid july.
Conquest and Mini-Seasons were outstanding but could be improved by adding longer games, you get 3 innings usually against the best starters in the game, but I digress.
Diamong Quest should be configured so that if you complete the map, you get the rare prize, if you rush to the stadium without completing the map, then do the percentage gamble.
Not a fan of showdown.
Everytime I tried to play multiplayer I was put up against people who did bunt dancing and key mashing to slow down the game, no thank you.
Lineups should have more flexibility If I decide to only carry 6 relievers, I should be able to have more position players on my team.
More Customization for logos, stadiums. and Walk up music, being able to upload files would be great again. either via A usb drive or the show companion app. Franchise needs more features, people play those games too, it's not just for GM simming.

@victoryphoenix_PSN the lineup flexibility will never happen because you can't do that in real baseball

This used to be the norm and is still allowed under current rules as far as I know
-
The issue with this would be everyone would carry 3 or 4 extra starters in their bullpen because we have so many good starters (which is not the case in MLB)
-
I mean, technically, if you play the CP Yamamoto as an Opener, you can have six SPs.
-
if you want to carry only 11 pitchers, that should be your decision. there is no rule about carrying 13 pitchers

Sets were directly tied to Seasons...as in you couldn't use the cards from S2 sets outside of Season 2, no?(WildCard not withstanding). That's what I'm referring to, I probably should have clarified, my bad. I believe you may be confusing over-arching series of cards(which spanned over multiple seasons), with the Sets(only usable within that season).
-
The thing people disliked was neither sets nor seasons. It was expiring cards. Seasons were just longer innings. Nothing more. Sets were cards released in a season/inning. They could have both of these concepts without expiring cards.
They only reason they renamed innings to seasons is they made them longer so a 5 inning year wouldn't make sense.
