Have you changed how you play 21 vs 20?

I definitely find myself playing ranked to get my 40 wins and then never touching the mode again until the new season. I ever have been big on BR since bad memories of constantly facing the people who know how to intentionally freeze off the game and the like. I do appreciate them making a BR program though in case I want to buy a card. Honestly the big difference to my gameplay is I used to love conquest but without postgame rewards now it just feels unfulfilling.
This was a big turn off for me last year as well, they ruined RS gameplay. I pretty much only play RS as I prefer to play online and would rather have a traditional nine inning game as opposed to three or six innings. I prefer to be able to select any team I choose without restriction from my card collection, since that’s the point of collecting them all. Like many of us, I’ve never particularly enjoyed moments, BR and Events have tended to be entirely focused on offense for the most part and RS is the only nine inning H2H mode available with rewards to play for. Conquest and showdowns are something to be endured for the rewards rather than appreciated and enjoyed.
I realise there are limits to the ways in which you can tweak the various modes, ultimately, it is baseball and you can only change the format so much. That said, it’s not hard to conceive of something, anything, competitive that isn’t based around moments. Showdown is just moments remixed and they’re beyond tedious to me. Now conquest is even more tedious I’d probably skip that too. I’d just be happy if they could get one mode, RS, playing right. I’m actually quite hopeful of a new game engine and total overhaul either next year or ‘23, given that there will hopefully be more players able to move on to the improved hardware by then and PS4/XB1 will be heading out. Who knows if that will be successful or not, but it’s frankly jaw dropping that the PS5 and XBSX versions of ‘21 still feature PS3 era animations and commentary lines that have barely been touched in many years.

I'm enjoying conquest more too, as a previous poster said. I always enjoyed conquest, but I never cared much for the USA map. I'm at 25 of the gold prospects, and plan to get them all. It's great for parallels, monthly programs, xp, etc. It's also great as a guy with a family. Too many times I start a RS game just to hear "Honey.....can you help me"
Holy smokes we have the same wife. I swear everytime I start a game the door opens and in comes the wife with the kids not far behind.
"Hey babe, when you get a minute can you...."
Here's what we will do. When new programs drop, you get her for two weeks, then I"ll take her.
In exchange, I'll RTTS grind XP for both of our accounts

I have for sure. I actually played 20.

MLB 20 - Red Bull
MLB 21 - Green Tea -
Played around 11 seasons of RTTS in 20. Was good.
Didn’t even reach 11 games of RTTS in 21. Was not good.
Have played one game in 21 in the last month (Franchise mode Spring Training).
