The REAL state of this game

TBF I think the frustration with the crowd is more to do with SDS complete and utter tone-deafness and out of touch they've become with how they're doling out content et al.
Personally I'm still going to play because I enjoy it, once you start playing for playing and not JUST for the rewards

Friday is a huge make or break for this year.
Friday will not go well. I just know how this community is, people will be upset because they'll drop a chase card or something and like 12 TA cards might be useless. And then the community/ twiiter community will find something to complain about.
12 or more TA cards are always useless. So, no. But to play devil's advocate, having useless TA cards this year is more impactful -- stubs are being gatekept, xp is nerfed, and the base is being funneled towards pack-only players.
See now: that's a balanced, legitimate critique. I expect to be straw-manned and lumped with "the community," but I just thought I'd underscore how I'm partially agreeing with you, even though you love to straw man people who critique the game.

@Sarge1387
Yeah that’s true too. I often wonder how little people have going on in their lives to just troll others online. Tyler and a handful of others come to mind.

@SuntLacrimae50 thanks coach!

I am DONE -- If the fanboys want to praise SDS for this garbage go for it.
I AM OUT until they fix it or until NCAA comes out whatever comes first
Finally won't have to read your five cry baby posts every day. See ya!
Let me clarify -- I did not mean I was done with the game -- I believe I said in another post that I was going to play find whatever fun I can have and see if they fixed it. I would give them til NCAA comes out and if game is still like this then good chance I would be gone or at least do the bare minimum.
What I am done with is making posts complaining about game or at least as many might here and there but I am tired of complaining and seeing fanboys defend this garbage. Then I get annoyed by a fan boy and go into "keyboard warrior " mode ( my bad on that ) something I should NOT do. Fanboys are allowed to have a wrong opinions and if it makes them feel better then whatever. I do want to apologize to Yoshi and anyone else I kind of went at cause if you want to have your head in the sand then go for it. I mean if you want this game to turn into a pack opening sim then to each there own -- I do not and I think others agree with me on this one.
SDS gratz on making a game that is dividing your community and making us in fight more then the normal stuff that happens on these type of forums.
PS -- Hope you enjoyed the read aaronjw76 ( ROFL )

@TubaTim90 but are varying lineups happening? It’s the buxton team or a team affinity team variant. I hardly run into any cards that came from the packs.

@Dolenz
Never expect everyone to agree. Do expect people to acknowledge the extremely obvious shift in SDS mentality and stop blantantly ignoring facts and living in denial.
You literally just said you expect people to share your view...
-
Yep. The whole lineup diversity thing is bs and a cop out that isn’t even true. The fact people can’t make any stubs to even buy the packs kills lineup diversity. But these supporters simply refuse to acknowledge that point. Ignorance is bliss.

In 5 RS games yesterday, I never faced the same pitcher twice. Each line-up was vastly different.
People can't afford EVERY pack, and maybe that's intended. Pick one that you like and go all in.
You must not have been around when Corey Kluber was every pitcher every game. Everyone used Chipper and the same everyone else. You probably don't even actually play the game modes are just blindly bashing lol

@TubaTim90
If you think all these unaffordable packs and limiting stubs is the answer I have a bridge to sell you in New York. I remember Kluber and Degrom very well. Maybe the hardcore competitive guys hated that but if you are just playing casually having tons of affordable, fun, cards is great. That’s why so many of us loved 21 because it was fun using the cards we enjoyed.
-
I don’t own 24. Main reasons are bringing Seasons back. Seasons are cool with me in MUT… why? Because the cards I earn in that season don’t become useless when the season ends. I’ve been very vocal about this since last year so probably no surprise to anyone. If I do buy 24, it will be on-sale and in Season 3 so I don’t have cards being restricted. Seasons are 100% a money grab and it’s a lazy way to cover up their inability to structure a good power creep without being too extreme one way or the other.
Another reason is this is the same game as last year. I own a PS5. I want to play PS5 quality games. Im done paying full price for PS4 games. They didn’t show anything that made me think they weren’t completely selling this year. They didn’t even have big names for Legends. They are keeping all of their profits and not putting any of it back into the quality of the product. That’s not a company I want to support.
I actually like that they put the best cards in packs this year. Lineup diversity. It’s been a problem for years because they gave out top tier cards to everyone so everyone had the same team. There’s some positivity for you.
Why do I come on here occasionally and post on a game I don’t own? Because I loved DD in 17. It was the most fun I’ve ever had playing a game since I was in middle school. So I voice my opinion because it sucks seeing SDS destroy something I loved. They used to have great communication and I actually was probably one of the fanboys back in 17. But every year they have gotten stingier, almost zero communication, and now they are even cutting playable content. It just sucks to see.
-
Seasons absolutely do suck
-
This game is equal to madden now. Might actually be worse.
If the answer to the question how do you get most cards in the game is not by playing baseball there is a problem.
They just dropped 95s in packs before dropping those free 93s that’s obviously the only worthwhile rewards that can be earned by playing.
The benefit of the doubt or getting a pass because this game used to be different is over.
If you enjoy the game that’s awesome but to most it’s trash. It’s rated 2.2 on Xbox. I’m sure the pompous people who work on this game think it’s not them it’s everybody else. Most smug people who think they are better than their consumers think th at way until they finally get fired.
-
@GoTitans3 idk If I would call this game equal to madden. Agreed this year content wise is bad but if I remember madden doesn't even have collections, all of the 'collections' are actually exchanges. So you don't even get to keep people along the way to better people

What made kluber even worse is that was the first year you could select your starter AND bring starters out of the pen so Eben if you didn't face him as a starter you got him in relief lol
Year before it was Kershaw every [censored] game.
Year after kluber it was Cabrera or Degrom smh
Soooo toxic lol
This is why I'm a believer that the best or OP cards should be locked behind a pay wall
-
@aaronjw76 so your solution to balancing issues is to not let people earn the OP cards by playing the game? Welp that will be the dumbest thing I read all day.
-
@America_69420 collections/exchanges is a small thing in the game. Most of the best cards in the collections won’t be earned by playing the game. Both games let you earn free cards and release a tier above in packs. Both games rewards for actually playing the game are not that good in relation to the price of the pack cards. The only ways to get pack cards in either is to flip. They are pretty much clones of each other at this point. 2K would be too if they didn’t take away their auction house.
