<![CDATA[Companion app]]>Whats going on with the app!? Why is it so slow? Its bad enough that the actual game menus are laggy and randomly kick you every so often for trying to do basic things, but now the phone app is broken as well.

Does this have somthing to do with the mobile game? Has the constant and all encompassing greed from sds ruined yet another feature?

Again, this year has been the worst year ever for the show. Its a shame how far the series has fallen. Even worse is that its all been self inflicted, good job share holders. Maybe get back to the yachts and golf courses and let us have a good game again. Get this, if the game is good... we will give you money... whoa!!!! Crazy right!!??

I will admit tho, I love to watch the "modern audience" games flop.

I just agree that it's not 50% of gamers being female, more like 10%. The female gamers that do take this hobby seriously, I find to be quite skilled and are more than welcomed by myself in this hobby. It's just insulting to hear the feminist movement claim they need games that cater to them, when they only play The Sims, Candy Crush, or Farm Simulator.

She beat every tomb raider and uncharted game, shes played most assasins creeds, and weve played just about every couch co-op game that had been released over the past 10 years. Oh and she has around 1000 hours in sims 4. she plays mobile game so much that she gets paid for it. Theres almost never a time that we dont have some applied gift card on out Amazon account.

Funny thing tho, even she thinks modern video games are trash.

A 45 year old woman on the bus playing Wordle for 5 minutes each week means the industry will report her as being just as much a gamer as you or I playing Elden Ring, Mortal Kombat or Expedition 33. It's all just false metrics. Reality is, women make up less than 10% of true gaming.

I tried to do an astros rebuild and I couldn't trade torda to the yankees for 2 prospects because they were "untouchable".

Because we never see teams trade stars for prospects irl.

When you hear "women are 50% of the gaming community" its only true if you include mobile games.

Women play mobile games, and women are by far the largest consumer group (shocking i know), and its not even close. They are not gonna play a baseball game tho lol.

Community market is ruined by bots, and that in turn affects the net, fun factor of the game. I for one have stopped playing Diamond dynasty outright, and just do the Road to the Show or Classic modes. This game should last me 4-5 years before I need to buy a new version release, because the modes I play aren't dependent on online connectivity.

The app is just another way of gathering and selling our data.

Its ironic that they decided to make a mobile game, but cant even get the app to work right.

We should all review bomb the mobile game. Not that anyone is going to play it, but it is going to have all the shareholder eyes on it because its new and the boomers thought they were gonna make candy crush money lol.

I would love it if they got rid of the app, and made the market only usable on the console. I no longer engage in the community market because it's 90% bots, so why try to play in that sandbox at all?

How can flipping work better when it takes ten minutes to put in a dozen orders?!

Well if your using your PS5/XBOX etc it doesn't take 10 minutes, thats what I meant. All the bots are on the App anyway.

Its fun to let the brain run wild, but 99% chance this is just good ole incompetence at play.

The only thing i've been using the app for recently is to check progress in TA

Edit

Just to be clear I mean flipping on console
