The more I play Diamond Dynasty, the less fun it gets.

The game is a train wreck at times. It's got a heap of flaws. Completely drives you to the brink of rage. But, must admit, I've put more hours into it in than any other game this year.
Call it the smack of the gaming world. You know it's bad for you, but when you're feeling that Show Jones..you keep coming back. Against every instinct you have in your brain you toggle through that console menu and select The Show 21. The guilt only lasts as long as it takes to have a couple success stories.

FFS, the game has been out for exactly 1 month. They can’t release different cards every day. They’ve been doing a great job with content. Playing the game year round isn’t for everyone
2 months+. April 20. And in that two months it’s already become unbelievably boring.

Boring for sure, especially for those who have played the game for more than a couple years.
A new game mode would be nice, or at least excitement for specific game modes. Heck, load conquest with rewards again and I'd be interested. Took a week off from the game for the first time since 2019. Came back and it was fun, for a couple games.

I don’t know what your point is. You quote a reply I posted on May 22nd so it still applies. It was 1 month then

I don't know, the gameplay is ok, but I feel like something is missing. Maybe because I don't think is an accurate representation of baseball. Having to worry about your pitcher having a sinker/cutter is weak. Not to mention that it gets tiring hitting sinkers and cutters. The way those pitches move is silly and defy the laws of physics.
Contact hitters once again being useless. You're better off always having players with 80+ power. Anything less and is a fly out machine. Playing 80% of the away games at Shippet stadium for three years straight is frankly tiring. Same old animations and graphics as the last few years. Definitely doesn't feel like a next gen game. They still haven't be able to fix bunting... Joey Gallo and David Ortiz shouldn't be bunting for a hit opposite of the shift without an issue... that is straight up silly.
Any pitch that isn't a Sinker, Cutter, Slider, has to be used as a surprised pitch. Good luck throwing a 2 seamer or a Curve in this game. Elite power pitchers like Gerrit Cole are still right down useless.
Hitters shouldn't be fouling off pitches 10 inches off the plate because the player pressed contact swing with two strikes. Incredibly silly.
Pitcher's motion are still stiff as hell... pitchers new all their animations wipe out and replaced with today's technology to the arm looks smooth when they bend it.
Maybe I can't longer ignore the gameplay issues. These days I'm still I'm having more fun grinding or trying to get a card than actually playing. Back in The Show 16, I could make World Series with a bunch of platoon gold players because Diamonds were hard to come by. Now in the first week, live players are already useless... they're literally there as a tool to do collections now. Back then, having Lindor or Gerrit Cole would have meant something. Topps card should be Gold and Silver. Diamonds should be extremely rare or a very hard grind. This would encourage people to have different teams, instead of the same Diamond Players.
Seriously considering uninstalling and I got this one free with gamepass.
its the law of diminishing returns - find your balance and it will help you
