Season concept is dumb
-
An idea for a new format, make all cards playable all year, go get wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more players i have a ruuning thread where I add two players a day and I can go on forever with baseballs rich history.
1 card per player also. Dont need 7 different versions of paul konerko. Cory Snyder one card make it a 72 bronze
do a 79 silver kevin mitchell 82 gold lance berkman so on and so forth tons and tons players. Can still make as a company too sds people will pay $ for a 79 silver Rob Deer lol. Then make 4-5 running events simultaneously and charge a $1000 stubs to enter. Have a live series only event have a bronze only event have a silver only have one where you can use anyone you want. can still do lefty pitchers vs righty hitters and vice versa. There are so many ways to do this . And as always I am available for hire to help.
Thoughts ????????????????????????????????? -
I am not attacking or defending SDS here. Seasons allow players who did not start at launch to compete at the start of a new season. The season implementing this year keeps LS cards relevant, which keeps standard packs relevant. Special packs are a money grab too, but people spend money to grab them. SDS is a business and is operating like a division that is getting pressure from above.

Only part I am ok with is making LS relevant most I ever used them

If you make 4-5 events running together at the same time, make one them live series only players that solves keeping them relevant. You don't need a format of not letting us use players in the seasons format to accomplish that.

That's not the point. It's solo ranked. Arguably the most played and competitive mode the game offers. I would argue most people that play DD are not as interested in playing bots as they are playing real people.
I think far more people prefer to play against CPU than they do other players.
The whales tend to be the online players though (but not exclusively). -
@BigBadBosc44_PSN You gonna pony up the dough to get the rights to every single person that's ever played Major League Baseball?

yes, i am sure guys like Bip Roberts and Greg Swindell would not be commanding ridiculous amounts lol
And if they were , I would communicate to the community what we offered and what they demanded for all to see
And I can guarantee there are players who love their kids and grand kids to be able to play with their guys
My theory and point is SDS does not even try. They would rather have us play with minor leagues players because its free for them. No one in history would buy a baseball game that has only minor leaguers -
@m_caraballo24_PSN We also do not care (nor does anybody) about your opinion, if you start off this way

I naturally assume it's a heavily PvP based community in nature of the sport but also because of gaming as a whole today. It does make more sense for money to come out of the online community as that's where most of the competitors and marketplace for cards lies.

I’m not new to this game but I took a big break and I’m new to seasons. So you mean to tell me the players I spent money on to get I can now not use? I’m gonna get dragged by this toxic community for my opinion for sure but I really don’t care for the opinions of nerds that never have ever picked up a bat in real life once in their lives. This [censored] is dumb. Greedy asf by SDS.
What does you spending money on players and not being able to use them, and people never picking up a bat as you say have to do with anything exactly?
Calling folks nerds in here well that's fine, but you're a idiot. Don't throw your money away next time dumb dumb.

Thoughts ?????????????????????????????????How do you get around satisfying both the
'It's mid-September and they haven't released Mickey Mantle' crowd
and the
'I got Mantle back in May. Why would I want this Rusty Greer card now?' crowd? -
@AdeptOfMemory_PSN My money would be on the vast majority at least playing some online.

It would be interesting to know the stats.
I remember a poll on reddit last year that over 60% of responders played primarily offline, and I would have assumed forums like that are more skewed towards online players
Also the age for a baseball game would skew older I would think due to baseball in general drawing an older audience, and that may impact the ratio of people who play 'PvP'.
PvE microtransactions can make a killing, but the value you get for your dollar when you buy stubs is pretty pathetic.

Here is a reddit poll from last year I found searching
265 Primarily/exclusively online modes
416 Mixed, prefer online
582 Mixed, prefer offline
765 Primarily/exclusively offline modes -
@Teak2112_MLBTS Interesting. Not what I expected. Their content model is definitely trying to get people playing online presumably for more money.
