Why is everyone fighting?
-
Yep. I applaud them
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN Some of us are upset because the June countdown requires you to play online game modes to advance. Not all of us play or enjoy the online modes and would prefer a way to progress without them.
-
I've said in the other thread the I give them credit for trying a couple of new ideas even if they are not for me
Yeah, my only real gripe is the time limitation (although that doesn’t personally affect me). I can see why that’s an issue. But if it were to be a constant thing, maybe that’d be awesome.
As others have said: we asked for something new. We got something new. People still complained. I’m not so sure SDS is the “bad guy” here.
-
OK - but perhaps they make this a usual weekend thing
They’re testing the waters. If they do this every weekend then we’re cooking with grease
No FOMO, just everyone wins
It would be cool as heck if this wasn’t a one-off and it became normal
Now all of a sudden everyone wins, see. They clearly see the reaction from players now if they just make this a commonplace every weekend thing there’s no FOMO for anyone
Keep the objectives difficult
Even if they did this bi-weekly it would rule
It becomes far worse if its a regular thing. That just adds to the enormous pile of cards people need to grind stubs for since most people cant dedicate 10-15 hours a weekend for online play. On top of that, these cards likely will not be cheap on the market once the next collection releases

I’m at a complete loss here. Get the obvious SDS hate out for their bugged out game and they need to fix that 100%
Why are people upset at this new content? They’re trying something different which is miles ahead of the standard Spotlight Fridays
They give us some challenging stuff to do, engage in it or don’t. At least it’s there.
Otherwise go about your normal programming
Because they're forcing online play. Some people may complain anyway but online player currently has known deliberate cheating, unfortunate bugs that online players exploit constantly hader/taylor. Stealing is almost impossible to stop with 99 p5 Mackey.
I think it would be fine to force online play occasionally for a reward if the online game was not currently toxic, full of exploits and cheating.
Its just a bad experience this year. I think that's why the complaining. And it's rightful. I personally liked the drop and felt a purpose to get acuna but I ran into all the annoying things of online play I mentioned in 5 games.
Plus the reset of pxp when you have every other opponent dashboard

I dont understand defending them for this.
They know that a large portion of their community does not enjoy online play and that in general people applaud them when they have varied goals to complete things
Every single person on that content team knows that it would have been more player friendly to make offline missions for each task. And they chose to do it this way.
They are trying to push people online (which they have done a LOT of the last 2 years), and using FOMO to drive 'engagement'. They should be given every bit of vitriol they are getting for this.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS you don’t have to choose to give it o fomo. It’s ok not to get every single piece of content done or collect every card.
-
Can’t upvote your post enough. Well said….

I mean, Im choosing to not play. This goes against what made DD better than the other UT modes.
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN lmao. Bring me on. yeah im not the guy for the job.
The amount of complaining mostly by offline players is insanity. They drop a mini season, a conguest etc for you guys every week. They finally get a little creative. You guys are the problem right now not sds, as far as this subject.
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN agreed
-
I wish people would just chill. Do I personally like the timebound nature of the program? No.
Will I end up finishing the program? Probably not.
I only play Ranked when I’m feeling relaxed and locked in - so if I’m not feeling that way this weekend, I’ll just buy Acuna, flip a bunch of cards to make up for not getting the stubs and everything will be okay.

Jesus Christ so they can’t win?
If they make this more commonplace it gets people playing or even trying to do stuff
We ALL already have 3000 cards and can only fit 9 in a lineup
I just don’t see the gripe
-
These are business decisions. My guess is that online play has not been what they want or need.
Also, trying something new when many things are obviously broken while cheating does not appear to be enforced is the issue, IMHO.
With that said, personally, I would double and even triple down on what has worked in the past, like double PXP for the weekend instead. That seemed to work for everyone regardless of the modes they prefer to play. I say try bringing that back once before trying new things.
A limited time mode with a lot to do just further incentivizes cheating, IMHO. I say bring on that enforcement!
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN yeah this is bad bro. They literally cannot win. Finally change things up a little for one weekend and you would think sds beat someone's dog
with the madness.Im not defending sds. They banned Ditka for two days for basically nothing. Meanwhile people are cursing them out.
I am defending them for this subject though. Creativeness is good. At least they tried.
-
I am just flabbergasted (sp?) at everyone’s reaction to this. I think it’s a step in the right direction.
More is good
I imagine SDS is kind of scratching their heads, too
Now if they’d fix their hellacious bugs and server issues etc and keep doing this kind of stuff, it’d be more fun
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN perfectly said. If you ever think things aren’t going your way in life, just come here and read about losers who play an amazing game that they seemingly hate. The Show is the best sports game ever created and people still whine and complain. Perhaps these serial losers should find something else to do in their spare time.
-
The problem with any new content being added is that it’s being added to the same broken game. Ok, so the game works, most of the time. But it is super F’d. The fact that all these broken things remain while new things get added speaks volumes. Not to mention there’s a 50/50 chance anything added will just add to the list of broken problems that will never be fixed. Arguing over programs needing online play or not just seems so besides the point when the core game needs so much fixing.
-

I'd like to give them more credit than that.
If you didn't know this would meet with a huge negative response then you should not have a content development job.But a huge negative response isn't always bad for the bottom line. Just ask EA and 2K.
There are studies done on how to manipulate gamers (consumers in general), and this is a textbook application of those studies
-
We just need to tone down the “loser” mentality and name calling and just make some progress
Maybe it’s politics or general state of the world for everyone but we all need to settle the heck down. Myself included
No one is a loser, we just have differences of opinion
