My issue with Diamond Dynasty isn’t losing. It’s inconsistency.

Diamond Dynasty is fantasy baseball, not a true simulation. Attributes are inflated, legends are overpowered, and outcomes are tuned for short games and card balance. That’s fine. But the game needs to be honest about that.

If the feedback says Perfect/Perfect, it should be rewarded most of the time not always a home run, but hits, doubles, hard contact. Otherwise the feedback itself loses meaning.

The bigger problem is that attributes don’t consistently matter:

Common and bronze fielders routinely make diamond-level diving plays

Low-tier pitchers can dot corners like elite control arms

Defensive and pitching ratings often feel cosmetic instead of functional

You can’t argue “that’s baseball” while ignoring that Diamond Dynasty cards are explicitly tiered by attributes. Either attributes matter, or they don’t.

If realism is the goal, Franchise and RTTS already exist. Diamond Dynasty is a fantasy mode, and that’s okay but it should respect player input and card differences.

This isn’t about wanting everything to go my way. It’s about clear, consistent systems where feedback and ratings actually mean something.

I agree wholeheartedly

I think sliders have a lot to do with gameplay and difficulty.
In some modes, they're definitely cranked. That's why simulating difficulty in games is so hard to pull off.

Yeah, I agree. Gameplay sucks, I hope '26 will be better, but I would be a fool to hold.my breath on that. Graphics people I get what you are saying but I can live without the graphics it's the gameplay I can not. I mean I score 25 runs in a mini season game and the very next game it's a struggle to score 2 runs and eek out 4 hits but the cpu pitcher throws 10 straight outside the zone and plunks me 3 times, with perfect perfect fly outs to the warning track to centerfield with Finest Schwarber, Raleigh and '26 cover Judge. Inconsistent bad gameplay. Hopefully they are going to do what they say are they going to do and fix the it. Everything else is immaterial to me.
