@AdeptOfMemory_PSN you will never see PXP earned in casual because people will throw games for their friends so they can get huge amounts at a time.
Sooooo what you mean to say is, SDS can't fix their queue system because we already have an invite your friends to a 1v1 and casual search queue is meant to find a random person. That's not a player problem, that's a poor development problem. Also, if you can break the queue system to randomly find your friends then the game is dead. Not enough of a playerbase if it does a random queue into your own friends.
Nice bandaid, SDS. Punish the players PxP from our game modes, add daily XP caps, and make sets and seasons wit power creeps to prevent stacking earned 99 cards. SDS only knows how to punish players. Not fix the issue. Wild.

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN I was wondering how long it would take for you to post your “I hate SDS. SDS sucks.” theme. I’ll admit, you were sounding rational for a while. I don’t know why you play a game you hate so much.
-
@Blind_Bleeder_PSN when did I ever say those two things?
Idk how you don't see this as an SDS issue and not the players issues. So weird. -
not playing season 2 is cutting your nose off to spite your face , you already given your money to them , only not buying next year will ring your message loud and clear , i took last year as a skip year because you could not finish programs without playing multiplayer before , i despise multi , so i was sick of throwing my money at them , they had started loosening their grip on the cards it was not enough , so seasons is new to me , dont care for it , i think the energy would have been better utilized in shoring up game quality and function , this is like having a car that runs like Sh** and buying a $2k stereo system for it instead of putting it into making it run better , except at least with the car you would have nice tunes while you are broke down

@hoo_pharted_PSN Exactly this; the best way to send a message is to not buy; that ship has sailed.
Too many "I won't buy next year" inevitably come back when they start to get that itch in early March and you can't grind stuff from past games that aren't live anymore to hold you over.

@yankblan_PSN i do COD on skip years of the show

Here’s the thing…I’m a whale. I freely & openly admit I am a whale. I used to spend $3000 every year on this game when I played it year round. Last season I stopped playing when the Season 1 cards were eliminated. I had spent $2000 at that point, Didn’t spend another dollar so that cost them $1000 from me. This year I have spent $1000 and am only playing regs come tomorrow. So that’s $2000 SDS is losing from me this year and that makes $3000 total since they went the route of Seasons. So yes….Myself & other whales can absolutely affect their bottom line. But please - Tell me how not buying the $60 game is hurting them more than this? Oh and SDS employees look me up and verify what I’ve said here for yourselves.

Because you're probably 1 player in 10,000 that spends like that. If only 1000 of those other folks stop buying the game it has 20 times the impact of your spending. That's what SDS has to worry about long term

I don't know if I agree or disagree with this take, because it actually makes sense. I think I'm ticked because I splurged this year and bought myself the deluxe edition...and was overwhelming underwhelmed once I saw the XP payouts, which two weeks in I was doing the math and realized I won't even get close to a boss...for me personally began to feel like it was all for naught, know what I mean? I want to feel like my time spent playing would at least get me one or two of them like in previous years
-
I’m honestly wondering how many people that were planning on playing season 2 will start the grind & then stop after a couple of hours. I’ve seen people on twitter already saying this lol
-
I'll play some but not much honestly. As a cardinals fan they gave me nothing to work for because I will never collect enough for Gibson.
-
I looked at everything and shut the game off. I usually just start grinding away but this is just awful in my opinion. I’m watching Mad Max Fury Road instead. Lol…Furiosa is awesome and worth a movie ticket.

I did the same. Nothing at all even looked interesting, let alone good.
I don't understand wanting to do all of that over again after just having finished the first time.

this season's thing is horse-bleep
-
There is literally no way. SDS, this the best you got with NCAA coming? Good luck. You will most certainly need it.

As of three weeks ago, I had completed every program and was still at only 300k in the season XP. I realized how much of a grind I would have to do just to get Pettite, and it seemed too daunting. Now that Season 2 has started, and I know I can't get him, I've lost all motivation to play.
TA was ruined for me last year, and made even worse this year. They gave out less cards and made the season sets too hard to complete.
I played this game for the grind and earning all the players in sets. Now, it feels like the game is geared towards buying packs and playing online. It's just not for me anymore. It really sucks, and I'm sure I'll pick it up from time to time this year, but I won't be buying next year. The Show is clearly going in the direction of EA Madden, and I left that 4 years ago for the same reasons.

I looked at the S2 TA player card rewards and there is nobody I was thrilled about getting.

I have no idea why anyone who doesn't have gamepass would buy this game to play. I love sports but the grind....the micro transactions.....the cuts to stub making in every way.

They could just enjoy baseball. Remember the good old days when we played sports games just because we enjoyed the sport? Back before Ultimate Team modes were even a thought in a devs mind?
