What happened to offline content?
-
I doubt that its the streamers not wanting to grind - those dudes play a million hours, and you fly through TA grinds doing that. More likely, its the tweens who only wanna play Ranked with their one god squad - and dont have the patience to use other cards from different teams, or play different modes.
-
@rubicante23_PSN not if you never play with insert Color Storm/Spotlight card here, even on those other modes, which is to say the venn diagram intersection between ‘streamers’ and ‘people who only want to use a godsquad’ or ‘people who only wanna play with their favorite swings or at least swings they already know like’ is actually pretty substantial. we’ll see this year how many of them did the TA stuff cause they had to and how many were actually doing it for the love of the game.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN yeah, we know a ton of people dont play with a variety of cards like that. I think it should be strongly incentivized, but then you're gonna get a bunch of people yelling "stop making me play with cards I dont like!"

I play ranked coop with my friend for the MP stuff...cringe when I have to get into events to complete things because as soon as I win three or four games I run into the guys who have to WAAC and I suddenly can't hit or I'll give up a suspect 10 spot. I'll rarely touch conquest because it feels...off? It plays entirely different from other modes. I grind offline primarily for the XP path.
I miss the days of just grinding vs the Yetis.

I don't have any evidence to back it up but I think what happened is they changed Conquest from the "casual" setting to "simulation" which plays a lot more brutally. Mini seasons and versus CPU are on the "casual" setting so you can hit HRs with guys even in the 60s in power. In Conquest it seems like the only way to get a HR is with a 100+ power guy, a perfect/perfect pull shot. Everything else dies at the warning track.

I wouldn’t mind them updating the Jolt cards mid season with a roster update to make them viable again at that point. Maybe make them 95s if they aren’t releasing anything else.
-
Between lack of content, crappy rewards and terrible XP the offline grind is just about dead. Kinda wishing I hadn’t bought the game this year. I feel like SDS doesn’t want me as a consumer so why am I still here? Not sure.
-
@PAinPA_PSN its a good idea until you realize that it will just be another lame program with most of the cards being in packs.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL They should be updating them every inning or 2. Theme teams are dead and the captain boosts aren’t even working.
-
You know, I have an hour or so before I start thinking about dinner and I could definitely play but Vampire Crawlers just released on Game Pass today so I think I should find out if a dungeon crawling card based version of the game with retro graphics can be anywhere near as addictive as the regular Vampire Survivors

XP is nearly impossible to complete for the average gamer that has maybe a couple hours to play the game. Everything they do now seems to be geared towards spending stubs or money to complete collections and paths. Can we please have another major MLB licensed game to compete with this one so some real improvements can be made? The direction of this game turned to very negative way about 3 years ago. I went against my first thoughts and bought the game again, but I absolutely won’t waste another dime on stub purchases ever again. I’ve spent so much money on this game over the years. I used to always complete the Live series within the first 2-4 weeks. Ain’t falling in that money trap again for a game that cares less and less about its player base. It’s disappointing. Someone in the lead of this game series has made some detrimental decisions the last 3 years.
