Why did they decide to come out with 99's right off the jump? it's so awful like this, I understand at the allstar break... and late in the year to start pumping out super cards... but I don't understand the logic behind it. Also after 50 days base set 1 you can't use in ranked? so why did I grind my eyes out for these cards?... I'm remaining hopeful SD studios knows what they are doing but it's not looking good.
My theory us that if they dangle 99s in front of our faces for the full year then people will spend more money.
It just makes me not want to play the game. What's the point in grinding when 8 hours in you have a team full of 97s? Day 1 ranked is full of outlier lol, not thanks.
ill be the devils advocate here and say mate that i personally hate having to grind a year to get a good team - and then start at 0 again just a few months later - it is completely unfulfilling - offline is also trash for me a useless waste of my real life time - i only do this now to build the team i want then i go into online play - this way on the new system we leave off last year playing new cards all good instead of PAINSTAKING bronzes and silvers / commons
To each his own. All I know is that this is the first year since 2016 that I don't have the motivation to play this game. On the bright side I will be saving about $2000 this year.

I haven’t even logged on in 4 days. Usually I’m playing DD at least an hour or two a day for the first month of its release.
Just have zero motivation to do anything. I might find more interest when Set 2 drops. Going after Set 1 cards just seems pointless when they’ll be unusable in July. I’d rather wait and go after cards I’m going to use for more of the “prime” of the game for me.
Maybe Topps Now or POTM can pull me back. It just seems incredibly stale and I knew it would with this strategy as soon as they announced it. I just love baseball and knew I’d at least enjoy RTTS. I’m glad gameplay is noticeably better though.
listen to how you worded unusable in july, almost as if cards in past years became "unusable in july" as the games card balance system would always pick up.
The cards were useable for me though. I run a TT in Ranked so this system has completely screwed my DD experience. But im glad you like it. Not everyone runs meta teams and the shiny new cards.
wouldnt captain boosts help your theme team? as the past would not have? Also the majority of people that are playing ranked are using the high overall cards, thats every ultimate team type mode not just mlb.
I don’t care what the majority of people do. Like I said, I’m glad you like it, but it’s not for everyone. I’m just giving my opinion because this change really disappointed me. The previous system wasn’t broke, SDS just needed to tweak it. This just feels lazy. Instead of carefully planning overall increases, they just drop 99s and call it good.
Captain boosts are cool but then you have to use cards with that specific team. So they’d either need to let us change the team on cards to any team that player played for or it’s not going to work that well. From what I’ve seen, captain boosts just seem to make LS cards more relevant. I like that, but I’d much rather use a 97 Blackmon that’s in the game than his silver boosted with captain boosts.
If they just said “screw it, we can use all of the cards all year.” I’d be way more accepting of it. I just really hate them telling what cards I can and can’t use when they’re in my inventory. Leave that stuff in BR and Events.

99's are NOT the problem it's the fact this game is kind of a mess with bugs and systems that still need tweaking and such and little to no word from SDS unless you count mass bans and such. You all wonder why I was railing against 2 or 3 -- 50k stub packs in a 10 day period when the game was not ready it was not just the greed factor but that did play a big part in my posts I will admit. Now I am wondering if the fanboys are so willing to stick up for the garbage or will you still be like SDS is the best and you should just get good or whatever.
I still think the people who work on the game are good but the suites for SDS are the one's who are not so much and will leave it at that.

set one cards you can use till season 3, and after season 3 all cards are avaible to use. So missing out on set 1, you're only missing one season, i do think the captain boosts should be team captains not live series captains, and then adding the chemistry system i.e madden would also help theme teams that in my opinion is opening the door for next year. Its a step towards building TT's

Because they needed to do something drastically different to remain interesting. Because the truth is that this game has become stale and boring, given the fact that it's been the same for years and years. Little did they know that this change would actually make the game even more stale and boring.
How would you know? You aren't even playing it
So I need to be playing to understand their strategy and to be able observe what's going on? I might not be playing, but I am following the trends very closely which is why I am still here in the first place.
I play the game and don't find it stale and boring...how can you, someone that doesn't play say it is stale and boring. You don't have any reference to make that statement.
Let me stop you right there champ. Just because you don't find it stale and boring, doesn't mean it is not in fact stale and boring. Like how I say it is stale and boring doesn't automatically make it stale and boring to you. I understand that perfectly fine, but apparantly you do not.
Secondly, I don't have any reference to make that statement? I have been playing this game for almost a decade, I have competed in the top levels against the top players for years. I have played the tech test like crazy. What do you mean I have no reference to make that statement? I am probably better informed than half of the people here and Reddit, so pipe down friend.You're a chump bro. I don't care about your ability in the game.
Don't say things you wouldn't say to my face. You can disagree with me and have a debate on every and any topic. But don't go down that road if you wouldn't do that in real life either.
okay take it easy, he has a point, you aren't even playing the game, so you cant really call the game boring, its just not a valid reason. It's like calling a book you never read because that's what a few others said.
This so far from the truth. This is not a book, it's a video game. The same video game that I have been playing for a decade, and don't tell me it's different because it's not. Just like 22 was no different from 21. Which was no different from 20. And so on, you get the idea. And like I said, I rigorously played the tech test. IT'S THE SAME FREAKING GAME. It's fine if you don't agree with me, we all have opinions and we are entitled to those. But don't come here and try to discredit my opinions because I am somehow not informed simply because I didn't pay money for this reskin this year.
i get that and its your opinion, but coming on here leaving negative feedback when you've only played the tech test, its just bad energy, the NGL storylines mode was awesome, gameplay feels smooth, like this is easily been the most I've enjoyed the show since 20. 21 & 22 were terrible. And its a baseball game, of course it's going to be the same, what do you want them to add, a free roaming mode? Like goodness man. You're opinion is yours but you've only had one piece of the pie not the whole thing.
i agree with what you're saying here - i am not dumping on Raes but you make sense with your post
That's fair, like I said everyone is entitled to an opinion and one can also be negatively in my direction. That's okay, as long as it's respectful I don't take offense.
some of the guys here brought up some good points though to be the devils advocate here - i know you are passionate about this game Raes but its true that this game is in the best shape its been since 2017 and i know you would appreciate that - the tech test i also tried out, it was horrible - completely a joke - this game today feels nothing like the tech test in case that helps
I still talk to many people who I used to compete with and unfortunately they share a different perspective. Also my gripe isn't per se about how the game plays from purely a hitting and pitching perspective. I have always made that clear. They can balance that a million times and some people will still be unhappy. No, my gripe is that the engine of this game, the core and the backbone of all systems hasn't changed in well over 6 years. The game is not optimized for current gen consoles (PS5/XSX/S). The netcode is laughable, freezing of online games still happens after I don't know how many years. Peer to peer connection is the same as before, it's just not good. These are the things that make or break the experience for me and they are always left untouched. Some new program and a few 99s at launch isn't gonna distract me from that, ever.
i completely hear your position mate - i have spoken with a few guys too this year who are in similar circles im sure - top 50 guys and its a mixed bag - half love half hate - you just have to pick your side of the pond
from me to you though - this has been by far the best since 2017 - id love to see someone say otherwise and no one is arguing about how poor 18/19/20/21 were
the price of this game for X hours of enjoyment is less than a nice lunch date too - something to keep in mind on relative value vs. enjoyment of time
While I agree with you that this is the best game since 17 and 18-22 were more of a joke, it still does not match the experience of 17. I played almost 500 online games in 17 and it was the most I've ever enjoyed this game since buying the very first version in 06?. For whatever reason my online games don't even show up from 18-on if you look me up but I can't guarantee you I have never again played as many online games as I did in 17. Pretty sure you know the reason. I am enjoying this new game better than the past 5 year's editions but they will never bring back the most popular "Gameplay" of 17. I'm sure its a financial reason and there are more microtransactions nowadays.

Why did they decide to come out with 99's right off the jump? it's so awful like this, I understand at the allstar break... and late in the year to start pumping out super cards... but I don't understand the logic behind it. Also after 50 days base set 1 you can't use in ranked? so why did I grind my eyes out for these cards?... I'm remaining hopeful SD studios knows what they are doing but it's not looking good.
Because they needed to do something drastically different to remain interesting. Because the truth is that this game has become stale and boring, given the fact that it's been the same for years and years. Little did they know that this change would actually make the game even more stale and boring.

gameplay of 17, you mean "just late be great" lol its the nostalgic aspect, 17 had some of its own problems, although 17 was awesome dont act like gameplay was king supreme in 20, that was the first year of the ball physics engine.

17 sucked honestly. I loved it because it was my first year in DD but if you compare 17 to 23, 23 beats it in every single category.
People forget the BS home runs off jammed fastballs, the insane base running cheese, terribly slow animations. It really was not a good game at all compared to 23.

Fair argument. To me though, I for once did not feel like giving them my money for a product where they did not do the absolute best they could. If you would ask every single developer over at SDS the question "is this the absolute best you could do?", what do you expect their answer would be? That's an honest question, not a rhetorical one. To me that's food for thought and motivation to stay away until things do change.
i hear you completely..... i still prefer to see guys like you in here regardless of if you are playing, because the forum is a skeleton of how it used to be with our crew and its nice to have some familiarity around here - have a great day

My theory us that if they dangle 99s in front of our faces for the full year then people will spend more money.
It just makes me not want to play the game. What's the point in grinding when 8 hours in you have a team full of 97s? Day 1 ranked is full of outlier lol, not thanks.
ill be the devils advocate here and say mate that i personally hate having to grind a year to get a good team - and then start at 0 again just a few months later - it is completely unfulfilling - offline is also trash for me a useless waste of my real life time - i only do this now to build the team i want then i go into online play - this way on the new system we leave off last year playing new cards all good instead of PAINSTAKING bronzes and silvers / commons
To each his own. All I know is that this is the first year since 2016 that I don't have the motivation to play this game. On the bright side I will be saving about $2000 this year.
yeah see i would never in a million years spend more than a dollar on top of the game value - as you said - to each their own - and hats off to you by the way - its good not to want to grind this game, what a waste of real living - i just came in from cutting chainsaw in the woods - opposite of electronics

Why did they decide to come out with 99's right off the jump? it's so awful like this, I understand at the allstar break... and late in the year to start pumping out super cards... but I don't understand the logic behind it. Also after 50 days base set 1 you can't use in ranked? so why did I grind my eyes out for these cards?... I'm remaining hopeful SD studios knows what they are doing but it's not looking good.
Because they needed to do something drastically different to remain interesting. Because the truth is that this game has become stale and boring, given the fact that it's been the same for years and years. Little did they know that this change would actually make the game even more stale and boring.
How would you know? You aren't even playing it
So I need to be playing to understand their strategy and to be able observe what's going on? I might not be playing, but I am following the trends very closely which is why I am still here in the first place.
I play the game and don't find it stale and boring...how can you, someone that doesn't play say it is stale and boring. You don't have any reference to make that statement.
Let me stop you right there champ. Just because you don't find it stale and boring, doesn't mean it is not in fact stale and boring. Like how I say it is stale and boring doesn't automatically make it stale and boring to you. I understand that perfectly fine, but apparantly you do not.
Secondly, I don't have any reference to make that statement? I have been playing this game for almost a decade, I have competed in the top levels against the top players for years. I have played the tech test like crazy. What do you mean I have no reference to make that statement? I am probably better informed than half of the people here and Reddit, so pipe down friend.You're a chump bro. I don't care about your ability in the game.
Don't say things you wouldn't say to my face. You can disagree with me and have a debate on every and any topic. But don't go down that road if you wouldn't do that in real life either.
okay take it easy, he has a point, you aren't even playing the game, so you cant really call the game boring, its just not a valid reason. It's like calling a book you never read because that's what a few others said.
This so far from the truth. This is not a book, it's a video game. The same video game that I have been playing for a decade, and don't tell me it's different because it's not. Just like 22 was no different from 21. Which was no different from 20. And so on, you get the idea. And like I said, I rigorously played the tech test. IT'S THE SAME FREAKING GAME. It's fine if you don't agree with me, we all have opinions and we are entitled to those. But don't come here and try to discredit my opinions because I am somehow not informed simply because I didn't pay money for this reskin this year.
i get that and its your opinion, but coming on here leaving negative feedback when you've only played the tech test, its just bad energy, the NGL storylines mode was awesome, gameplay feels smooth, like this is easily been the most I've enjoyed the show since 20. 21 & 22 were terrible. And its a baseball game, of course it's going to be the same, what do you want them to add, a free roaming mode? Like goodness man. You're opinion is yours but you've only had one piece of the pie not the whole thing.
i agree with what you're saying here - i am not dumping on Raes but you make sense with your post
That's fair, like I said everyone is entitled to an opinion and one can also be negatively in my direction. That's okay, as long as it's respectful I don't take offense.
some of the guys here brought up some good points though to be the devils advocate here - i know you are passionate about this game Raes but its true that this game is in the best shape its been since 2017 and i know you would appreciate that - the tech test i also tried out, it was horrible - completely a joke - this game today feels nothing like the tech test in case that helps
I still talk to many people who I used to compete with and unfortunately they share a different perspective. Also my gripe isn't per se about how the game plays from purely a hitting and pitching perspective. I have always made that clear. They can balance that a million times and some people will still be unhappy. No, my gripe is that the engine of this game, the core and the backbone of all systems hasn't changed in well over 6 years. The game is not optimized for current gen consoles (PS5/XSX/S). The netcode is laughable, freezing of online games still happens after I don't know how many years. Peer to peer connection is the same as before, it's just not good. These are the things that make or break the experience for me and they are always left untouched. Some new program and a few 99s at launch isn't gonna distract me from that, ever.
i completely hear your position mate - i have spoken with a few guys too this year who are in similar circles im sure - top 50 guys and its a mixed bag - half love half hate - you just have to pick your side of the pond
from me to you though - this has been by far the best since 2017 - id love to see someone say otherwise and no one is arguing about how poor 18/19/20/21 were
the price of this game for X hours of enjoyment is less than a nice lunch date too - something to keep in mind on relative value vs. enjoyment of time
While I agree with you that this is the best game since 17 and 18-22 were more of a joke, it still does not match the experience of 17. I played almost 500 online games in 17 and it was the most I've ever enjoyed this game since buying the very first version in 06?. For whatever reason my online games don't even show up from 18-on if you look me up but I can't guarantee you I have never again played as many online games as I did in 17. Pretty sure you know the reason. I am enjoying this new game better than the past 5 year's editions but they will never bring back the most popular "Gameplay" of 17. I'm sure its a financial reason and there are more microtransactions nowadays.
gameplay of 17, you mean "just late be great" lol its the nostalgic aspect, 17 had some of its own problems, although 17 was awesome dont act like gameplay was king supreme in 20, that was the first year of the ball physics engine.
What do you mean? First year of ball physics was in 17.
the ball physics engine was implemented in 2017, the way the ball came off the bat, That was the the first year of new ball physics.

i hear you also completely - a lot of you guys are right in everything you say - its all a matter of how much you get out of enjoyment in this game whilst its out on market - i enjoy talking baseball with a bunch of you on this forum and besides diablo 4 forthcoming there isn't anything else i have time or desire to play

So if they came to you to make this game not stale and boring which ideas do you propose? In a sports video game there’s not that many changes. Baseball is you hit the ball, throw the ball catch the ball. That’s how it’s been for 100+ years. So what exactly do you want them to change? Do you want a GTA style baseball game where you run around and go to a Baseball field and play pickup games like nba?
