Yes. And anyone who's says no either devotes 5+ hours/day or spends money.

No other reason to start the year releasing 99s and 2 different collections. They are trying to make their Jeter money back.

what a ridiculous take - i have an incredible team - i hardly play as i have a life outside of gaming - i never spent money on stubs either - i love your armchair analysis, as if you are some financial guru understanding the subtleties of licensing fees and how to monetize a business

Whoa must have caught you in a bad mood. I consider you a decent person.

no harm no malice at all mate - i like your posts too - just have to disagree with the pay to play system - i know you didn't create the thread either - have a great night over there

I just love how people who don't even play other team modes make comments about how DD is the "best".

It's not.

it is if you are stuck in this immature mindset that it's all about 99 rated cards and trying to compete to be some kind of paid professional MLB 23 player.

There's no mode in DD with any actual strategy. Everyone says they LOVE Battle Royale, and then claims there's no need for a capped mode...when it is literally the same thing just using cards you OWN and not playing cheesy 3 inning games where players with HUGE flaws and cheesy tactics aren't exposed.

Not having matchmaking is stupid. Especially with all this 99 craziness.

At least in 2K, if I decide to load up a team with a couple Pink Diamonds I like...and a few Rubies and Amethysts...I'm going to get matched up with someone else whose team has an OVR rating similar to mine, not some team with the 13 best players in the game.

There's no way to do this in The Show...unless you're one of the best 500 players in the world and can go online with Golds and low Diamonds and beat bums like me.

I think it's kind of sad...and boring...and silly...and unintelligent...and lame....what these modes have turned into. All the grinding and silly tasks you are basically FORCED to do to get certain cards. The complete lack of any kind of roster building strategy because on DAY 1 you can easily build a team full of flawless players.

The way certain cards become "meta", so playing online literally becomes like playing the SAME exact CPU team 100 times in a row.

Gee...it sure is fun to play against a juiced Lindor and Murikami every freaking game for 2 months!! So much variety....

BTW...why TF is Murakami so fast? That dude slaps screamers to the SS with 105 EV's and almost beats them out!

It's unbelievable how they've taken what should be an amazingly deep and immersive mode and made it so shallow, lame, and completely devoid of any strategy whatsoever.
