Has this game imploded already?

This game died after the allstar content last year. The game has regressed from its release and SDS does care because they made their money.

RF: Escobar Kaiju
DH: Whatever card Alonso gets set 3 (HRD) -
@RazorForte45_XBL and @Teak2112_MLBTS those are a couple of tight squads y’all’s got! I’m especially covetous of that Alvarez card. Lucky dawgs. Hey I’ve been playing the FS Baty at third and he hits nothing but frozen ropes and plays great D and is a lefty too. Congrats on a couple of solid Met squads
-
Omg there's so many better cards in CORE. Set 2 and 3 have great cards. Get over it. Omfg

Yea, game sucks. I would rather re-watch a 20 year old tv show than play people with their connections. Just isn't fun.
I despise offline play as it is very boring but it is better than the online play.
What tv show?

I started right at the end of S1 and haven't done WBC program so no Lindor for me.
I got Baty from the FS choice pack and picked up Alvarez for 65K on market. I play enough classic mini seasons to not be concerned over the set restrictionsThe Mets are losing some key pieces (McNeil, Baty, Alvarez, Nimmo) but at least have gotten set 2 love (Wright, Mauricio, Hernandez, Escobar, Canha) so fielding a team early in set 3 shouldnt be too bad. probably in a better place than a lot of other teams.

And I'd rather slide down a razor blade into a container of vinegar than listen to you continually p!ss and moan about connections every other day.
Yes I fall victim to it as well but my god man, find something else do spend your time on if you are not happy or stop buying a product you KNOW doesn't have ping based matchmaking.
He can’t, he gets off from it

I’m going to wait until season 3 drops before I make any decisions on this game. I’ll say this though - If they go forward with rendering all set 1 cards useless except for the one WC spot then I’m out. There are several games coming out in July & August that I’m interested in & if SDS seriously is going to take away my cards & then expect me to grind again for the same player like some kind of hamster on a wheel - F that.
They were very clear about this before launch, I don’t know how you guys missed all this info.

I COULDN'T KEEP UP. Everything felt like a time crunch.
I can understand that but the big question is where does SDS draw that line.
I show 130 hours in DD so far.
You show over 200
I am sure there are some out there with 400 or 500 (or more)Somebody is always going to feel like it requires too much time whatever SDS decides, while others will complain that there is not enough content to keep them busy.
I feel kind of lucky that I realized early on in my DD playing that I was not devoted enough to go for completion. Once I became okay with that then there was much less stress to "keep up". It also helps being an offline player because I don't have to chase a meta lineup.
I look at programs now and view the rewards and usually wind up saying to myself, I don' t need those cards. If I earn them then great but if I don't then that is fine too. My only goal every year has been to field the best Cardinals theme team that I could. If, for example, the June POTM cards does not have any Cardinals (which seems likely) then I most likely won't even attempt to complete it. I'll do the moments because I actually enjoy those but won't bother with the PXP grinds (which is my least favorite part of DD)
I have often wondered if SDS even expects the average player, whoever that may be, to "keep up". I am thinking that they have enough data to know that the majority of us just don't keep up at all.

Important points. I don't think SDS expects us to do everything. They probably feel its better to have the content than not.
I also personally like the PxP missions because I like playing with players I wouldn't otherwise. I wish it was easier to track though (if only they would highlight cards that had outstanding PxP missions). And give the captains early for these programs. At least let us enjoy the boost while grinding, while seeing the cards get better as we add more players, not waiting until we go from no boost straight to tier 3.
Its a balancing line to please as many as possible, while also pleasing the higher ups that expect a sweet bottom line like EA gets.

For the casual player once set 3 begins their interest in the the game will be over because their set one cards are no longer usable on-line (except in the wild card spot) and the idea of starting over will not appeal to them. For the hard core fans it doesn't really matter what SDS does as long as they push out content.
I mostly agree but a lot of casual players don’t play online. I’m a dedicated player and I’d rather swim with open wounds in a sea of vinegar than play this game online. I think most casuals that play offline will hardly notice.
But I do agree, casual online players will be gone

I didn’t miss it. I was making posts on here in march about being concerned with this change. I haven’t gone back to look at those posts but it seemed like I was one of the few who thought this would be a problem.
People kept saying “SDS has a good plan for this, relax”. Clearly they didn’t. Now im sure some of those same people are complaining about it now. Hopefully this is a wake up call for people to stop thinking SDS is this genius ultimate team guru and stop supporting everything they do.

I have definitely been concerned since their first Feature Premiere on it.

Yes, you have been very vocal about this and I remember I was one of those that said to you SDS must have a well thought plan, I still have some faith left but it bothers me that the free cards they are pushing out now are basically garbage compared to the free cards from Set 1 and that will impact the quality of my team for sure.
I believe they are somehow regretting releasing end game carda early and trying to nerf the attributes across the board

Game is dead right now and they took the week off. Might pick back up with Season 3/All-Star content.
no, it wont. most the playerbase will be gearing up for madden.....SDS dropped the ball on this game this year.....hopefully next year they go back to being what they used to be. more like SDS less like madden/2k

They know that very well. As they continue their transition into EA part 2 they will hope to drive the newbies to spend real world money on stubs to buy cards since they can't hope to finish all programs.
I am very happy I didn't get this years game. They sold an unfinished product at full price, have not bothered to fix any of the mountain of bugs that have been there since launch from what I have seen and heard online.
If this is the direction they want to go, so be it. I know my non purchase will not even be noticed, but we as customers need to hold off until after launch to ensure they have a completed product, it is obvious by their responses, or lack thereof at times they really don't care what we think. It's like their mind set is "shut up and give me the money" or "Sucker! We got your money, what you gonna do now?"
This is why companies cannot have a monopoly on sports games. When you have no competition there is no need to care, and from what I see they only care about squeezing every possible penny from their customers. I get that companies exist to make money, but when you do it in a way that basically tells your potential customers that you think they are too stupid to know they don't care about your experience it's too far for me personally.
Sorry about the very long post.

There will be a little time in Season 3 before Madden comes out and usually All-Star content is solid but I agree, when Madden/2k drop, this will be the earliest this game dies. Usually this game can hold up for a few weeks after those games drop but this year it won’t.
Personally I’m skipping Madden this year too. I can only imagine how big of a money grabbing glitch show that game will be. I’ll be gone with 2k though. I just like their MyPlayer/Park even though they’re probably the most money hungry out of all between MLB/MUT/2K.

Madden is only money grabbing if you play MUT…Regs in Madden is awesome. You can play online with a custom playbook & you don’t have ridiculously overpowered players. It’s alot more fun.
