<![CDATA[SDS: Negra League Team Affinity]]>SDS we seriously need a Negro League team affinity so when we use those players their stats aren't completely wasted. I rather use Campanela at catcher but if his stats don't count why use him instead of a dodgers or mariners catcher who stats work with the team affinity goals. Same with pitchers and position players. Kinda pointless using players who stats doesn't work with goals and rewards. And if those players are part of the game why not include them in team affinity

Added in the new perks system, which is nice, but little else. Dont like the new menus,freezes still all of the time and game i already becoming stale and boring after a month. Maybe Jackie R. Day will liven things up a little.

While this obviously isn’t the worst show compared against previous years, it is the worst year in terms of improvement or lack thereof.

That’s what they have become and that is what many longtime fans are becoming. I’ve spent months of my life playing the show since it released 20 some years ago. It has become the gaming equivalent of seeing a b level 80s rock band today. Just collecting their checks and robotically going through the motions on stage. No heart, no risk taking, just rinse and repeat apathy.

The year we got Jeter we got his storyline. They could have done a storyline about the HR race in 98 when they added McGwire and Sosa. They could have done storylines about some of these old timers they added this year who most people have never heard of. Instead, we get the same [censored] game. Then, for content, they give cards for the same players every single year. It’s tired, lacking creativity and frankly, lazy.

Oh I agree with both you and @easy_duhz_it__psn , seems kinda weird that they preach about having their stories in the game yet fail to really integrate them into DD properly. I'd love a TA for the Negro Leagues, or a Negro League Mini-Season

I don’t believe it was intentional on their part, but they have essentially segregated them to a mode that is not integrated into DD.
A storyline should be a part of every inning cycle. Smack dab in the middle of DD.

But, like so many other things in this title, they just don’t care.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN said:

keep the players segregated from the rest of the game

yikes... given the topic, that's some poor phrasing.

Sorry, just breaking balls.

Could have been amazing. But instead they segregate them to a mode outside of DD. Give them cards that aren’t good enough to take online & with no boost & only ever give a couple of them usable cards towards the end. It’s so irritating.

Instead they make them 85's, when everything else is mostly 87-88's. Makes zero sense and that they are also useless with no Team Affinity. Its kinda sad actually, cause I love the Bob Kendrick videos, but only have limited time to grind,so Campy is only one I even did, but never really used him

I know they want you to use every team but sometimes it’s hard when they don’t release any useable players for that team in the first month or two. Like pitching for nationals for example.
