It feels like diamond dynasty is dying
-
@rubicante23_PSN They are doing this as inning missions intentionally, so people can’t save xp.
-
I also wonder if the studio is cutting jobs to save money. Maybe they cant push more content because there is not enough of them.
I cant imagine its very difficult to put out conquest maps.
I can understand miniseasons to a lesser extent since teams have to be made.
But this is the sort of stuff they should be using AI for.
-
Idk I am a longtime online player and dd grinder probably since 18 so my way of looking at this is I feel as unmotivated as ever to play dd because of the amount of cheaters on this game rn. That’s just my view it’s made my love for this game hit a alltime low.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I have barely played since the first wknd pre-launch, and I love the early season the most. I even tried to get a refund, super stale and lazy output this season. No reason to get 27 and on until we see a MAJOR overhaul, which is unlikely bc the devs would have to actually work.
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS Same, and early is usually the best, but not for a looong time, they even put my guy Albert P back in the game but I have no desire to even play to collect. Very stale
-
Here’s a question, if you somehow could go back and not learn there’s supposedly a bunch of cheaters, would you still be enjoying your gameplay? It’s a matter of mindset. Once you suspect and get some confirmation (although there’s some bias involved), you start “seeing” it everywhere. I’m not saying there isn’t cheating going on, but I don’t think people come across it as frequently as they suspect. You now know it’s in the game and look for it as much as possible.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN yes I do and I wish I knew cheating wasn’t in this game it’s completely killed my motivation to play this game. I don’t mind losing hey if I lose to the better play so be it if I lose to somebody who has a device hit for them dot for them etc. that’s not cool…
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN If someone could go back and unlearn that you never played online but continually comment on online would your comments about online become relevant?
Is it a matter of mindset? You want to play online but you’re afraid so you just pretend you do? Still CRUSHING Hader online like you did Neikro?
-
Huh? Oh yeah, you’re that keyboard warrior that thinks looking at profiles tells you everything you need to know. I play plenty online, going all the way back to 2017. Yes, I still crush Hader fairly easily, especially with everyone thinking he’s a glitch. Niekro? Not sure since he hasn’t been in the game for a while but was fairly easy to hit since a lot of people thought he was a glitch too and didn’t know how to use him.
Keep thinking you know all, it’ll continue to smooth out that brain of yours.

Thank the Maker, someone put Ol' Yeller out of its misery and pull the plug already.
Reboot next year with a brand new idea.
First order of business is a name that grabs your attention.
How 'bout ''Ball Busters''. -
This game is bad.
-
@AstrosJake_PSN I've pulled the plug on Diamond Dynasty as of today. I'm quitting it cold turkey. I am moving to just Road to the Show and classic MLB seasons modes. The great thing about no longer being interested in Diamond Dynasty is I won't have to purchase the new games each year anymore. Cheaters and bots have made DD a no play.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I was hesitant on getting this years game after playing the previous 6 years. I ended up caving just due to boredom during the time this game drops in March.
These threads have been popping up lately, I felt the same way for a couple weeks.
This is the first year I’ve lost interest and stopped playing as early as April.
Mid April I got burnt out playing mini seasons over and over.
Weekend Classic was mostly the final straw. I was placed in the wrong division and started my leaderboard with a negative score.
My final straw was the Miggy Collection and how pointless the endless grind for collections is.
Last years game was fun because it had new modes:
- DQ was a blast to grind and fun way to achieve collections.
- collection rewards (Roger, Beltran) and new legends (manny, Ted) were fire
- weekend classic brought good rewards to ranked.
This year:
- DQ has been castrated
- collection rewards are MID at best, and a waste of stubs at worst.
- weekend classic is still broken and unplayable with this years pitching.
The show ‘26 has 0 redeemable qualities. The only slight positive is parallels mods but even those can’t fix the gameplay.
What they did to DQ should be a punishable crime(hyperbole) but still… I’ve found very little reason to play this year. And that is a first for me tbh
-
@GodShammGod2_XBL they’ve truly stripped the game down to 2 main options:
Mini seasons over and over to get packs and play pack slot machine.
Or 2) go online and deal with lag, random gameplay, cheaters, disconnects or all of the above.
I’m choosing door #3 which is staying off the game. It’s wasted enough of my time. Sadly.
-
.buy packs if you're bored...never know might hit a big one
This is precisely what EA got in legal trouble over a few years ago, I think (please correct me if I'm wrong).
They are doing this as inning missions intentionally, so people can’t save xp.
Unfortunately, you're right.
I can understand miniseasons to a lesser extent since teams have to be made.
Those teams are randomly generated from people's actual DD teams, aren't they?
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN When it says “No ranked games played” and the guy is constantly talking about how he crushes a pitcher online at HOF which no event has ever played at then yes, it tells you everything you need to know. You LARP being a competitive player. It’s pathetic. Then you double down and lie. Even more pathetic. 3 year bans going out for the cheaters we don’t face that don’t exists. We are all just imagining it like you crushing Hader and Neikro…online….against a real player lmfao.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS It can show improper records sometimes when you look at other people’s profiles.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS It can show improper records sometimes when you look at other people’s profiles.
Record shouldn’t matter whatsoever unless there’s reward to be gained for it.
Go to Batting Average and ERA for any player and THAT is the indicator of talent/skill/etc
Wins and losses can be accrued by fake quitting or rage quitting or connection loss etc
Batting averages show what the person is and isn’t capable of
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN this is 100 percent correct. My record is ok. Up to 17 and 11 now. But that doesnt tell the entire story. Ive been a victim of rng this year and probably played a cheater or two as well looking back. I also focus on my batting averages more than wins. That is the number one indicator if im improving at the game or not. I think im up to batting 360 average now on ranked. Which doesnt seem good enough this year. As I havmt even made championship level yet.
-
So by same theory if you come across someone with say 0-55 and a batting average of 0.00 you could easily sus them out / eliminate them - that’s a bot
Or quickly search by their game history did they win 54-0 in a game one time and bat 0.100 the rest of the time?
I mean I’m not a rocket surgeon but I’m pretty sure SDS does have the technology and capability to find [censored] out if they’d look
