It feels like diamond dynasty is dying

Im with you on content lacking. Its hard to blame SDS for the cheating epidemic - no game is handling that well now, no matter how big their budget is. And if they ever start really trying to handle it, theyre going to make lots of errors that may be just as bad as not handling it.
-
Ultimate team modes are dying because they really can’t do anything new, you’re just grinding to get cards, and then you get a good team, then the season ends and the next one happens. Content is either good bad to people personally depending on if there is a card you want or if it’s card you don’t. Today, you could log in and if you want the headliner it’s an okay day, if you have no interest, then it’s wait until the next drop.

Its crazy how much the game was pushing things out in 2023. Content every tuesday, wednesday, and Friday. The smallest program of the year was bigger than the Jackie program that they were gushing over.
I thought 2024 was bad, but this stretch we are in now is brutal.
-
@jcassaro44_PSN I agree with this generally. Problem is in this game’s case they’re actually rolling back on content (with the major exception of the WBC drop that carried the game’s first month and yes, was much bigger than 23’s) this year.

@Teak2112_MLBTS I enjoyed 23.

We ended up with 31 more WBC cards this year, and the WBC mini season is..well its profitable but I love playing Mexico with Brazil uniforms while having stats from who knows where resulting in a win that doesnt reward me with a win. ANd by me I mean of course the Baltimore Orioles.
Snark aside, I was praising the content through New Threads. But boy have they fallen off a cliff.
I think they replaced all the missing content with bugs instead.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Launch content was solid. It’s been a complete disaster since.
-
Id imagine their understanding is that boredom is a massive mover of stub sales and pack openings....years ago packs became content and we are now left with that....buy packs if you're bored...never know might hit a big one...lol

It is? For me it's going to play other games.

If they start giving a lot of xp dumps, I'll probably try to save a lot of them for Inning 3. Pretty close to Randy right now.
BTW, it occurred to me that if I'd have saved a lot of xp from last inning, I probably could've picked up Randy when he was selling for 250k.
-
@Auburn2525_XBL The fact that it is a monopoly is a huge advantage to SDS. They know they can get by by doing the minimum and still have people playing because they are the only game in town. It would be nice to have some competition to give them a reason to do better.
I also wonder if the studio is cutting jobs to save money. Maybe they cant push more content because there is not enough of them. Seems like over the years they have less and less of people on stream. Not sure it that means anything. Maybe this also explains their lack of communication to the community? -
@rubicante23_PSN They are doing this as inning missions intentionally, so people can’t save xp.

I cant imagine its very difficult to put out conquest maps.
I can understand miniseasons to a lesser extent since teams have to be made.
But this is the sort of stuff they should be using AI for.

Idk I am a longtime online player and dd grinder probably since 18 so my way of looking at this is I feel as unmotivated as ever to play dd because of the amount of cheaters on this game rn. That’s just my view it’s made my love for this game hit a alltime low.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I have barely played since the first wknd pre-launch, and I love the early season the most. I even tried to get a refund, super stale and lazy output this season. No reason to get 27 and on until we see a MAJOR overhaul, which is unlikely bc the devs would have to actually work.
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS Same, and early is usually the best, but not for a looong time, they even put my guy Albert P back in the game but I have no desire to even play to collect. Very stale
-
Here’s a question, if you somehow could go back and not learn there’s supposedly a bunch of cheaters, would you still be enjoying your gameplay? It’s a matter of mindset. Once you suspect and get some confirmation (although there’s some bias involved), you start “seeing” it everywhere. I’m not saying there isn’t cheating going on, but I don’t think people come across it as frequently as they suspect. You now know it’s in the game and look for it as much as possible.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN yes I do and I wish I knew cheating wasn’t in this game it’s completely killed my motivation to play this game. I don’t mind losing hey if I lose to the better play so be it if I lose to somebody who has a device hit for them dot for them etc. that’s not cool…
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN If someone could go back and unlearn that you never played online but continually comment on online would your comments about online become relevant?
Is it a matter of mindset? You want to play online but you’re afraid so you just pretend you do? Still CRUSHING Hader online like you did Neikro?
-
Huh? Oh yeah, you’re that keyboard warrior that thinks looking at profiles tells you everything you need to know. I play plenty online, going all the way back to 2017. Yes, I still crush Hader fairly easily, especially with everyone thinking he’s a glitch. Niekro? Not sure since he hasn’t been in the game for a while but was fairly easy to hit since a lot of people thought he was a glitch too and didn’t know how to use him.
Keep thinking you know all, it’ll continue to smooth out that brain of yours.
