They can't even patch the game without introducing multiple new bugs, soft locks, and game crashes. I think it's time for Sony to fully step in and see what is taking place in San Diego before the game becomes a colossal mess like EA Madden NFL, which is unfixable and fundamentally broken across the board.

Its extremely likely that Sony is to blame in the first place. Madden is also the wrong example to use as its a shining example of profits above all else.

True, but at leat they overhauled franchise a few years ago. If SDS would do that, I might come back. Played 3 conquest games yesterday and couldn't wait to turn the game off. DD is very stale, and franchise is the same old mess (with some new messiness added).

Great, well thought out post.

However, selfishly as an offline grinder, I'm the opposite. I care more about content than gameplay.

But again, nice post and it already caught the attention of SDS.

Both are important, but 'content' means different people to different things

I think content is better than 2024, but easily worse than 2023. But I separate the removal of sets/seasons from content and look at the reduced number of earnable cards (especially the horrendous spotlight programs) as well as the reduced mini seasons and rewards for repeating them.

I will call out the Egg Hunt program and the Donaldson collection as high points of inning 2 though. Donaldson was a bit of work to earn, but doable without stubs after the storyline drop.

And while its nice to have good cards in MS, if choosing between this and the repeatable rewards and at least a refresh with each season, if not a brand new ms, I would take the prior model in a heartbeat. I just ask why we cant have both? Would it break the game to bring the classic repeatables back to what they used to be? Would a return of the Jazz map really hurt stub sales, especially since DQ would still be more efficient anyway?

Logging on to a new inning and seeing only city connect for new offline content is just awful, and reusing the existing content sucks when you know what was taken away.

@broken_toy1_PSN -- No worries and I totally get it. Some things are easier update (both in-game updates and public "updates") than others.

I only meant "keep it coming" from that standpoint of acknowledging that we listen to the negative as well as the positive and both can be helpful.
