Did you play MVP baseball or Midway's Slugfest? There is plenty they could do to keep the game fresh/fun without selling a new pack every 30 seconds.

i love mlb the show been playing for years but just started playing DD a couple years ago, i love the content! my only issue is im dont like playing H2H (i suck) i wish there was more modes for single player than just mini season, mini season and vs pc... it would be nice that there was another game mode or at least a way to earn the same cards in single player as in ranked or other h2h modes. a weekly conquest would be fun as well
Back in the day there was no real offline components to DD. Now there is Vs CPU, conquest, mini seasons, moments, showdown. Those are all fairly recent additions in the grand scheme of things.Venture outside DD and you have RTTS, Franchise, March To October, HR derby.
So while I would never say no to any new modes it's not like they have ignored offline play
-
@Dolenz64_XBL yea if anything, add more online modes in DD

Of course i played MVP. But what about that was different than anything in MLB The Show? They had Dynasty mode....which is basically March To October without the fast play. They had Owners Mode which is basically franchise. I think they had HR Derby in 04....which The Show also has. Seriously i think nostalgia blinds a lot of people in here. The MVP games were great at the time but they wouldnt exactly be groundbreaking today because we have all the same [censored] in The Show.
As far as Slugfest....no. I dont play those kinda games.

You know what... I absolutely agree with your points as far as MVP baseball goes, perhaps I am somewhat nostalgic in that regard. However, what Midway was doing with castles, underwater domes, and generally over the top fun environments over 20 years ago, makes the Show look bland in comparison. It may not be sim but the Show isn't really going for the ultra realistic appeal anymore.

There really should be cards equivalent to BR and ranked rewards for offline play.
They could be different cards, and then offline and online preferred people can sell to each other.But the archaic way of thinking that "PvP" should have the best rewards needs to go, especially when the playerbase skews older and less inclined for online play than the other sports franchises.
-
They do need to add more game modes. Like offline BR, offline ranked season, weekend league, online franchise make moonshot a permanent mode they even can add on reward to casual mode and get pxp to in that mode. The possibilities are in endless in the right hands
-
Offline player here, I'd love more, but I just don't know what more can be done. The only thing I haven't seen that I'd love is some mode where you can play all 30 teams best all time rosters.
-
Following some of the thoughts here, how about a playoff or World Series mode that is team specific for each team? The CPU team would have the best players available from a specific team and the human would also be restricted to players from that same team. Choose a difficulty to start and the reward for winning levels up with the difficulty selected.
Additionally, SDS needs to pay some attention to Mini Seasons - details like CPU pitcher fatigue working the same as human team and actual relevant stats with AB and IP minimums.

And that right there is exactly why i dont play games like MLB The Bigs or Slugfest. And its why i didnt play NBA Jam. I dont need to see smoke trails when im rounding the bases or flames on the ball if i hit a homerun. I dont wanna play in underwater stadiums or on top of a volcano or whatever.
Its why i thought the Kaiju nonsense was one of the worst things about The Show in the 20 years ive been playing. I just wanna play baseball.

ok i guess i need to explain im not talking about new offline game modes in general im talking about more offline/single player modes within DD

Yeah we all get that. Everybody wants more modes but no one has any idea as to what they can do that doesnt drastically change the way the game of baseball is played.

I just started a mini seasons run and I noticed that if the CPU on there start the same pitcher that I have in my rotation then my guy who I'm not even pitching in that game has lost energy and can't pitch in the next game when he's up in the rotation. Have you noticed this at all?

We had something like that a few years ago. I think the games were 3 innings with teams' legends, on HOF difficulty, or was it all-star, when I wasn't good at AS back then!

Must of been a year I didn't buy.

Just a thought but what about a regular DD Season? Same format as a mini season but you can play a full 9 innings. Sometimes while playing mini’s it can be hard to get in a rhythm or have consistency. I’d play for sure since I’m exclusively an offline player.

There are tons of options.
There could be an offline version of ranked with increasing difficulty
There could be a 5 inning play every team once gauntlet where the teams rosters upgrade throughout the year with the new cards -
I guess I don't see it from a single player or solo play view but I feel like they have plenty of game modes especially offline. It doesn't feel like the menus and interactions are up to par though. All game modes I've played still feel unpolished and a bit watered down like they could be doing much more. There are so many games modes that don't offer appropriate XP because the player base can just abuse the game modes queue or difficulties so rather than fixing the mode SDS just nerfs any possible way of gaining anything out of playing it effectively ended the modes queues altogether.
They have SOOOO many offline modes but no one plays them and it's probably because of how unpolished and unrewarding they have become.
