How did this Happen?

How did the game get worse after SDS hired two content creators to work on the team?
-
Is that sarcasm? A trick question? Because the answer is in the question...
-
It’s more just a rhetorical question. You would think that they would provide some insight into what the community wants out of a game.
-
Which content creators?
The game is at it's worst when it bugs or freezes, imo. Idk if content creators have anything to do with that though -
I’m not gonna name them but SDS hired two MLB the show content creators about two years ago.
-
They hired Ashley 2 years ago, and CBrev this year. To be fair content isnt the issue, gameplay is. Season suck but i think we all agree there is some really good content, and obviously some really bad. The Games model to make money is also an issue, i dont blame content creators on that. There are other content creators who have had open communications with SDS and have been ignored. If they fix the game play issues, the rest will fall into place.

Cant like anymore comments. I'd say this is 100 percent correct.

Because, those two content creators are simply employees, and not the bosses who make the decisions on the direction of the content. They can only work within the constraints given to them.

well said … and imo the game could not get worse since it‘s following the 23 disaster … But why am I even answering a thread that is not trying to be constructive?!

I think content is the bigger issue than the gameplay. Gameplay is largely the same as last year. But since the content isnt there people are giving less passes to the gameplay.
Other program content this year is usually completed within a couple of hours, which puts more focus on the xp track. Which moves glacially slow with interesting rewards few and far between. So this lessens the satisfaction/dopamine rush that is what fuels DD in the first place.

This also applies to SDS as well for whats its worth too. They are just Sony's employee.
But while Sony probably said 'sell more packs', they probably didnt say 'cut content' or 'make other programs take minimal effort' or '3 conquest maps per TA is too many, make it one tiny map instead'
