Have barely played season 2

Well, I still have NCAA 2010 with the Utah QB for my PS3 and MLB the Show 13. I still have it for Ted Williams and the dynasty mode. Maybe I ll jump into it if the seasons become unplayable

Considering I last played it on the PS2/Xbox it will be revolutionary at least for me
Balders Gate 3 was game of the year and sold FACK tons of copies. The previous version of the game BG2 was 15 years before 3 came out. BG3 is easily one of the best games in the past decade to come out period. The sales numbers prove that and the community proves that.
I'm not an NCAA fan and probably won't get it. But if it can happen for BG then it can happen for NCAA. The SDS simps here are just terrified cause it's possible the game is as good as people hope. I hope it is good and I hope MLB TS24 improves.
I would not be surprised if NCAA does kick [censored] and SDS removed sets, drops content as much as possible, and gives double XP every weekend. Id be happy with it cause that means the competition worked.With everyone coming with "this is gonna be the death of the show" for something that haven't seen outside of promos,you can't fault others for coming back with " grass is greener" analogies

I can't wait to read this forum and see the " restructuring" of seasons after NCAA.
"Scrambling and seeing what sticks"
They are not going to restructure anything. About all that can be expected is more XP rewarded in programs and adjustment of the rewards in the XP Path.
They won't abandon Seasons mid year. They are not abandoning the extra pack strategy mid year.
I hope NCAA is as great as so many of you hope it will be but what I am seeing, just like I see in this community every year before release, are unrealistically high expectations
-
@PAinPA_PSN for sure. Idk that's NCAA will kill TS24. I do know streamers will be at least temporarily dropping TS to play NCAA though. That's enough to have a noticable dip and active players. It the game is bad then argument becomes all sports games suck. If the game is good then it becomes good for the sports gaming community. It would hopefully shed light and force companies like SDS and EA to keep up the quality of their games.
You also can't say "grass is greener" when in reality they don't even have to play either. The gaming industry isn't just SDS and EA.
People will eventually just stop playing both and play other video games again. So the grass is greener on the other side buuuuuuutttt there's a lot more other pastures with Saint Augustine and Bermuda and some fruit too. There's not just one other pasture.... -
The thought of filling out a lineup to do TA missions for the FOURTH time in only 3 months makes me feel a physical reaction. It sounds like actual torture. Obviously I'm being dramatic when I say that but I don't see myself coming back to play this game again.
The best part of 21 and 22 was that if you put in a lot of time and effort to grind things out, you could unlock the collection cards as they release and just play ranked or whatever mode you wanted when you felt like it. Now they are condensing the entire game cycle that typically lasts around 9-10 months and trying to do that 3 times. Gatekeeping what cards we can and can't use, releasing cards in packs that are only good for a week or two and not worth using stubs on. At least in 23 there was some overlap when seasons reset so the grinding was kind of worth your time, this year every single card is just made totally unusable except 1. The TA cards are atrocious and the online modes are stale. They said they fixed foul balls but I haven't played since then so I'll take their word for it. They can't even monetize properly, just go full EA casino mode if you're gonna make your product bad anyways.
Just ranting, but I think I'm actually thankful because my life honestly feels better without this game taking up 2-4 hours of my time per day. I've been playing all the old Fallout games, preparing for the new Elden Ring DLC, exercising more, reading books I've been meaning to read. NCAA coming out will be awesome, but I think overall I am done with these card collecting modes. They use the same manipulative and awful game design that mobile games use and I want to thank SDS for finally removing my blindfold and letting me see truly how much of my time I wasted the last few years on their product.

I find it laughable that people are talking about NCAA like its gonna be the savior of sports games this year like they've done anything new with the NFL license they've had for 20 years.
Offline MLB players - The Show is the same game over and over every year. We need new game modes...theres nothing to do.
EA Sports - Releases Madden every summer....no new game modes in 20 years. No 99s given away just for logging into the game. Microtransactions consisting of BUYING a 68 overall that requires 100 games played to make it a 75.....slaps a new skin on Madden and rebrands it NCAA....
MLB offline players - OMFG THIS GAME IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!
People will literally only play it for dynasty mode like they did 10 years ago, which by the way, makes RTTS look like garbage. The ultimate team garbage can kick rocks for all I care.
So basically you're buying a 10 year old game with updated graphics. Sounds like a revolutionary game.
You talking about The Show?

I may check out Balders Gate especially because I bought GOW, RDR, and TLOU just based on educated guesses, and they became the best games I've ever played.

If you’re seriously trying to compare NCAA 14 to what has already been shown for NCAA 25 (with even more gameplay footage/features to be revealed) you’re a clown.
NCAA 25 will be far more advanced and in depth than The Show ever dreams of being, and is clearly more than a “graphics update”
What an idiotic statement

@jake98833_PSN RDR2 is bad [censored] and I might have to get it for my PS5 cause my friend group just picked it back up.
-
I think if NCAA has a solid dynasty mode most people who buy it will be satisfied. If it's a monetized shell of a mode, well..it's EA. Duh.
Either way doesn't change the fact that SDS has absolutely mailed in '24. No effort or creativity at all outside of storylines (which if we're being honest are basically jazzed up moments).
-
@Skarmaen_MLBTS I'd be willing to bet a lot of money they don't monetize Dynasty. Maybe like uniform expansion packs at some point, but EA has the ultimate team money printer formula down pat, they can afford to not monetize dynasty, and they know how angry people would get if they did

What do you think of the soundtrack?

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN The Show's? First thing I do every year is turn it off so I couldn't tell you.

LMAO!! Nice well it's the same as 23 with like 5 other songs. They didn't even do a new soundtrack

That's odd, when I look at the soundtracks between the two years, there are only two songs on both. "Sweet You" by Phonte and "Fly the Coop" by Big K.R.I.T.
Where are you getting your information from?
