Thanks for the review.One note about "ONLINE Diamond Dynasty - Ranked":
In '16 and '17 they did not reset RS every few weeks like they do currently. It was just one, year long program. They started resetting RS every few weeks in '18 or '19 (not sure which year?).
For example, I remember in '16 and '17, when I played RS more, I made it to CS and usually hovered around DS and CS for the remainder of the year. Now, they reset RS every few weeks and drop everyone down to AS or so (which I do not like).

Here it is 11/08/2024. MLB 24 is basically in the books. Everything I wrote on April 1st is exactly how I feel at this point. DD didn't improve at all this year and in most peoples mind it got worse with Sets & Seasons. The lack of additional game modes & new seasons made last 2ish weeks of each seasons worthless. S4 is coming up and we already know, its going to be the exact same thing as the rest of the seasons.
I really wish SDS would scrap the current DD and make something completely new. Sets & Seasons wasn't it. We need an entire different mode. Blame 8 month time to build the game, but I knew even before April 1st. MLB 24 would be whack and here I am. I'm the moron who will by 25 bc I love baseball and its the only game to play.

I loved sets and seasons, it makes you use different players which if you were able to use all players all the time then you wouldn't see people use new players or theme teams either. I would rather it stay sets and seasons next year. Just my opinion

@sbchamps17_NSW I think they are okay, Its just remember the last 2 weeks of S1, there was legit zero reason to play the game because all those cards were gone from S2. Plus, the TA grind for S2 Chapter 1 was brutal. all but 1 card was good. the rest were horrible. Now they did improve after the all-star break, and tbf giving everyone the 4 wildcards at the start of S3 I think was good & bad that also helped. I can see benefits of both, but I think regardless of the content, without more game modes and ways to use the cards. Its worthless.

@utka_NSW They have the same model and same aninmations lol

@Weshill627_PSN My female players definitely do NOT look like dudes though. They look like actual female athletes. I tried to make them look like specific people. (Candace Parker is a really good pitcher!)
Frankly I was quite GLAD that the female models didn't look ridiculous, like WoW characters or comic book characters. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Re the models, it would be nice to have another choice besides Slim or Curvy, though. Regular old Athletic, so you don't have to have a wasp waist to avoid a large topside, lol.
Animations? Meh. I think those probably are pretty much the same for m/f players. I watched some of the women's baseball tournament and they use baseball batting stances, not softball stances. It's not like they pitch underhand or have to skip around the bases or don't slide or whatever.
