Companion app

@markemark_NSW my tin foil theory is that they couldn't fix the cheating so they nerfed BR, and now they might be slowing the app because they cant stop the third party bots.
Its fun to let the brain run wild, but 99% chance this is just good ole incompetence at play.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I am theorizing that the app is slow on purpose, maybe to mess up all the bots? That's just my tin foil hat theory at this point.

@samguenther1987_PSN
How can flipping work better when it takes ten minutes to put in a dozen orders?!Well if your using your PS5/XBOX etc it doesn't take 10 minutes, thats what I meant. All the bots are on the App anyway.
-
@samguenther1987_PSN Here here. I would love it if they got rid of the app, and made the market only usable on the console. I no longer engage in the community market because it's 90% bots, so why try to play in that sandbox at all?
-
Its ironic that they decided to make a mobile game, but cant even get the app to work right.
We should all review bomb the mobile game. Not that anyone is going to play it, but it is going to have all the shareholder eyes on it because its new and the boomers thought they were gonna make candy crush money lol.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I haven't played a mobile game in over a decade now. Mobile phones aren't anything close to real gaming.
-
@WoozyPolarBear_MLBTS I would be in favor of removing the app, but they will never do that. The app is just another way of gathering and selling our data.
-
@go4stros25_PSN That's very true, but the app is also losing them customers with this game, whether those customers realize the app is a problem or not. Community market is ruined by bots, and that in turn affects the net, fun factor of the game. I for one have stopped playing Diamond dynasty outright, and just do the Road to the Show or Classic modes. This game should last me 4-5 years before I need to buy a new version release, because the modes I play aren't dependent on online connectivity.
-
@WoozyPolarBear_MLBTS mobile games are very successful because women play them. When you hear "women are 50% of the gaming community" its only true if you include mobile games.
Women play mobile games, and women are by far the largest consumer group (shocking i know), and its not even close. They are not gonna play a baseball game tho lol.
-
If they think I’m paying anything to put a baseball game, let alone this degenerating dumpster fire, on my phone….
-
@WoozyPolarBear_MLBTS franchise this year is absolute garbage. I tried to do an astros rebuild and I couldn't trade torda to the yankees for 2 prospects because they were "untouchable".
Because we never see teams trade stars for prospects irl.
-
@go4stros25_PSN Yeah, I have seen the claims about women being 50% of gamers now, and realized that it was because they have very loose definitions of what it takes to be considered a gamer now. A 45 year old woman on the bus playing Wordle for 5 minutes each week means the industry will report her as being just as much a gamer as you or I playing Elden Ring, Mortal Kombat or Expedition 33. It's all just false metrics. Reality is, women make up less than 10% of true gaming.
-
@go4stros25_PSN That may be true, but at least those modes aren't out to suck my Wallet dry, nor do they have bots and cheaters out to ruin my experience.
-
@WoozyPolarBear_MLBTS my wife is a female gamer. She beat every tomb raider and uncharted game, shes played most assasins creeds, and weve played just about every couch co-op game that had been released over the past 10 years. Oh and she has around 1000 hours in sims 4. she plays mobile game so much that she gets paid for it. Theres almost never a time that we dont have some applied gift card on out Amazon account.
Funny thing tho, even she thinks modern video games are trash.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I know there are women gamers, and legitimate ones at that. I just agree that it's not 50% of gamers being female, more like 10%. The female gamers that do take this hobby seriously, I find to be quite skilled and are more than welcomed by myself in this hobby. It's just insulting to hear the feminist movement claim they need games that cater to them, when they only play The Sims, Candy Crush, or Farm Simulator.
-
@WoozyPolarBear_MLBTS yeah bro, that was my point. We are in complete agreement.
I will admit tho, I love to watch the "modern audience" games flop.
