No one has any stubs to buy cards
-
It's hard to earn stubs this year.
-
I can't believe how much they nerfed XP and stub earning potential this yr. Last yr - I averaged somewhere around 1,000 XP and 30 stubs per conquest game. This year it's probably 600 XP and 4 stubs per game. They have crippled the market / game economy with their new approach. They want people to buy stubs with real money.
-
I honestly haven’t had a problem earning stubs. I bought a few in the beginning. Have been flipping since. Todays the first day I’ve had an issue flipping with mostly nothing really selling.

Yeah it's pretty brutally embarrassing how they're not even trying to hide it. Now. They did a great job of failing to let us know about the changes to the xp payouts etc prior to release

The people who play the game in the AM compared to other times of the day are low. Market activity is usually quite low in mornings compared to times when people are not working.

@Debow13 nobody is playing

Like others have said, they've taken away every way to generate stubs in this game without paying. Most the player base is going to see through this BS and simply stop playing. The only reason most played Diamond Dynasty was because it was the only non pay2win team building sports game. Now it's a pay2win trash copy pasted game with no content, most the user base is probably done with the game already. I was excited for the content drop yesterday to see if they could right the ship this year and they did the complete opposite, locking the best cards behind yet another 30k pack. I logged off and honestly have no motivation to play this game anymore. It's also funny they made the Ohtani and Trout cards have 60+ vision so you can't use them with the Buxton boost. But they made sure the 92 Cruz card in the pack had under 60. Scum company

Stop with this [censored]. DD is the most non-pay2win sports game available. If you want to say pay2play then I can accept that since most of the best cards are locked behind pay walls but pay2win? No chance.
Plenty of people with an all gold team will dominate others with the highest rated cards. If you can see ball, hit ball, then you will win games. Why do you think BR is such a popular mode for so many players?

How does that SDS boot taste?
-
@suzypuff14 it's not pay to win. I haven't paid anything and still win the majority of my online games. Now, its pay to have the best cards, this is true.

I love it. Bought Randy for 30k. Yessir:)

Stop being an SDS shill, you bootlicker.

Imagine licking the boots of a multi million dollar company while they [censored] on your head and tell you it’s raining
-
@go4stros25 people are paying to have an advantage in game. That is the definition of pay2win. I'm not sure what else they need to do for you to think it's not. Maybe a card you can buy that automatically swings and hits a home run 50% of the time for you? Hopefully SDS doesn't read this and get any ideas
You could use the same logic and say 2k isn't pay2win. You can win on that game with inferior free cards too but you're at a disadvantage compared to the pay pigs.
And it's only gonna get worse from here...
-
@aaronjw76 haha yeah man people are upset. I get it.

Imagine being a 12 year old disguised as an adult crying about EVERYTHING in the game.
There are some valid complaints about the direction SDS has gone but this is the most whiney, baby filled community in sports gaming - maybe all of gaming and that's saying something lol
-
@suzypuff14 maybe, but maybe it gets better. Maybe they are just trying to get paid before everyone loses interest in the game. Look, I hate the current direction too, but I've played this game for a long time. Things are usually terrible in the beginning, but they usually get better.
The argument that its pay to win is silly tho. Is having the 92 oniel Cruz card really that much better than say the free 87 mondessi, the free 89 correa, the 84 free Willie Castro, mookie? No.
Where I get worried is the collections.
-
To be fair, I suck at this game. However I have a good job so beginning of the year I throw some money in to get started on collections. I pretty much have all top tier cards and I get beat easily sometimes.
So I wouldn’t say it’s pay2win. Having top tier cards definitely help, but doesn’t make me an amazing player.
On the other hand. This year has been awful so far. It started off promising and has gotten progressively worse. I wasn’t a fan of all 99’s last night. I’m a fan of people having different teams and not facing the same team every game. This year kind of has that.
But the programs are a disgrace. The XP cap is a disgrace. Having to keep paying to get the best cards in the game is a disgrace (even for someone that could afford it).
And the biggest disgrace is the absolute silence from sds. It’s fine to come in with a plan, but to come in with a plan and then pivot when you realize more than half of your base is unhappy. There’s absolutely no reason why sds can’t come out and address things, and see where and how they can change things to make more people happy.
-
@go4stros25 well we can agree to disagree and simply have different ways of concluding it something is p2w or not. You have to admit its scummy to give that Cruz card under 60 vision and the Trout and Ohtani 60+. They know what they're doing.
And yes, collections are worrying. They will probably paywall the lightning cards by making you collect a majority of the cards that are only obtainable in expensive packs
