Feedback to SDS: Its Mid May and I have lost interest

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I’m still playing but I too watch reality tv with my wife. Good lord, it’s like eating a peanut butter sandwich with no drink.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I’ll say what I’ve been saying for a year now:
REMOVAL OF TA REWARDS TIED TO MTO WAS SOOOOOO DUMB
It actually made me want to hop on and grind MULTIPLE teams and get rewarded for it. Playing in each division then getting progress for said division…PEAK.
Literally was so fun playing with teams you usually don’t play with

"Love is Blind - Paris" with my wife
Also, my guilty pleasure show to watch with my wife. It's like watching a car wreck...you just can't stop.

I haven't logged in for over a week now and I don't really feel any desire to
The main thing is its really a continuation of last years model: grind for stubs to buy cards instead of grind to earn cards. While this was always how the game worked to some degree, removal of TA and making programs low effort means I spend way less of my gameplay time grinding to earn cards. Grinding for stubs, or worse a chance at stubs, just isn't a compelling gameplay loop for me.
One of the other big factors is that the mode designed for us to spend a lot of time in, mini seasons, has too many bugs in it. I know there was a patch for some of them, but when I am playing a mode that almost never shows correct stats it wears down on me over time. And I miss the longer seasons, but with the reward structure there is no incentive to play the longer ones
Some of the other big contributors
-collections, collections, collections
-CPU inconsistency: commons and bronzes with pinpoint control and huge break, all the diving catches, etc. Yet no attempt made to make the CPU more competent at hitting
-Weekend Classic creates content lulls
-Inning paths are terrible, least exciting battle pass I have ever seen in games
-Menu lag
-No attempt to improve DQ
-Incoming mobile game (not even a port)Yep, this feels like the end of the franchise, all because new management from Sony only saw this game as a way to make easy cash for almost no effort. Honestly, I just hope they shut down and Sony sells the rights. EA, Konami, or at this point, even Microsoft would be a better option. And that's sad.

Im running out of motivation ad well. Did I see that we wont get any new content until the 28th!? This is a 3 day weekend, surely there will be somthing. For almost 2 weeks we get 1 Topps now program that take 2 hours.
Also I checked my inning progress, and again from 300k xp to around 400k xp you earn like 3 packs. Not special store packs, just regular packs. Lame.
I found myself bored and grinding the number one fan TA. Just aimlessly playing the game with players I dont care to play with until I accumulate an ungodly amount of pxp and stats just for the hopes if getting a good pull from a pack.
Thats what this game is. Grind going grind then open up a ton of packs and get peanuts. Maybe if online play wasnt terrible it wouldnt be so bad, but it is.
Also don't expect much from the 85 overall pack, I got a Kurtz
Btw thats exactly what I have been doing, load up a team and play mini season trying to get to the 5/10/15 packs + ballin is a gold and see if I can pull Judge or Ohtani but it's getting old really fast this year.
Yea, I've done a bunch of these and basically got nothing. I stopped trying. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore. I just play for the hell of it now. I'm actually going to try my first games on HOF this weekend. I've never gone close to this long without playing on HOF. I have well over 200 hours and I will be facing lineups with Tulo, Pujols, Rollins, Santana, 99 Miggy and a host of other players I haven't even sniffed yet. People want to say it isn't P2W but it sure gives you a huge advantage.

Inning path is even worse than last innings. It has become super grindy for pretty much no value outside of the cards. Not a single reward on the entire path that is exciting. What has happened to this game?
-
I think I might be done seriously trying to complete anything with this game. Content is severely lacking, the stuff they put out is just...not it.
-
I know I wont play this inning. Logged in to verify there wasnt even a conquest map, not that I expected one.
Inning 5 should be solid, but not sure I'll feel like making time for it after the disaster innings 2+3 have been.
-
Juice definitely isn't worth the squeeze any more.

The flipping margins appear like they're starting to open up so that's nice. But like others have said, I just don't care for the content this year. I have zero interest in creating a god squad. There aren't enough Cubs legends (where you at, Fergie/Ernie/Prior and a whole host of others?). Way too much repeat content of guys 5-6 overall points higher. If it weren't for playing with the Negro League content then I'd probably check out of DD and just play some ORated for my baseball fix.
