New Survey Out
-
No one on here mentioned the lack of online programs?? Like ranked, battle royale, longer more rewarding event programs! All stuff they used to have.
What about making another ranked mode 6 innings where we have to use certain cards and use some of these collection non meta cards? Etc
You guys are dropping the ball. If you are not asking for this. We need to make the game fun again, more creativity etc get more casuals wanting to play online.
Unless you all just want to play mini seasons and conquest 70 percent of the time?

Yeah @dolenz_psn , anyone with “ditka” or “99” in their usernames has LONG been on my block list.

I’ll add that I gave them kudos for: the amount of Inning XP available in the program. And the various ways we could get these programs done. I suggested this be the way to go forward.
I gave them non-kudos on: making us play a specific mode to finish a program or collection (showdown and Storylines, for example). Of course, I mentioned menus and servers. I also suggested a smaller, repeatable conquest for allstar rewards. (The current map is too big for one pack, imo).
I’ll edit to add: to me, based on survey responses and chatter in here and Reddit in the past, SDS KNOWS what we want to see in this game. It’s whether they will listen to it and do it that will be the issue.
-
Therein lays the problem. They release a game full of bugs and glitches and expect the community to be grateful that it plays the 75% of the time it actually works right.
Here's a legitimate question I asked in the survey. If there is a strike or lockout next year what reason has SDS gave anyone to trust that the content and gameplay along will make this game worth buying?
I have bought this game every since 2012. Give me/us a reason to do it next year.

@capardo_XBL on the block list but clearly not outta your mind. 🥰. Even after for some reason I had to defend you.
-
I would rather give my wife a hall pass to a Diddy party, then give SDS another penny of my money.
How's that?
Genuinely disgusting statement.
Yet you keep it alive, by quoting it.
Appreciate the help, we're in this together.

@Dolenz_PSN we know bro. You would rather play mini seasons vs the cpu. ... High fast balls, low and away slider strikeouts. So fun.
You would rather play vs a cpu thats not even ai. Can you not find one competitive bone in your body?
You and your homies need to just stick to rtts or something else.
We are the real dd players. You guys are just cpu player card collectors. Sds may cater to you guys a little bit, because they want you to continue to buy the game. If it wasnt for that, none of you would be playing in dd.
Stop trying to turn our mode into a cpu baseball simulator.

@capardo_XBL blocked but still thinking about me

Your arrogance and elitism makes me chuckle at times. "Real DD Players"

No, After 62 years the need to prove myself against others has vacated my body. I play video games as a relaxing thing I enjoy. I could not care less about beating Joe Random from Texas in a video baseball game. Nothing against those who do enjoy it but that ain't me.
If I wanted to concentrate on getting better at something worthwhile then I would choose my guitars or my piano which have both been neglected far too long.

I asked for a fantasy draft type mode and to make BR free (or bring back flawless cards lol) oh and a salary cap ranked seasons to make creative rosters. Online could definitely get some make over. I'm tired of events being the only decently fun online experience.

@Dolenz_PSN not sure if a baseball game can ever be relaxing though. Your still jamming the controller to hit a 100 mph fastball against the cpu. Just as much as vs a player.
62 or 30 years old so what. Makes no difference. Age is in the mind. Its still baseball. This game is not relaxing either way. Im not buying all these excuses from offline players. You all can dislike me all you want.
Dd used to be primarily 80 percent online. They need to seperate us at this point. This ain't working. We dont want to play offline just as much as you dont want to play online.

Respectfully disagree. After a long day at work or doing other stuff, sometimes I just want to beat the feces out of the computer on rookie and call it a night. Personally, I find that relaxing and easy to pause if I need deal with the kids or work stuff since I get occasional calls on 2nd shift.
-
@Thongypu_PSN ok thats cool. But its forcing players like me to also play offline. Playing vs the cpu will never be fun to me. They need to seperate us at this point. Find a way for us both to accomplish everything in dd. Playing the exact way we want online or offline. I should never have to play offline to accomplish things and neither should the offline players have to play online then.

I understand that but I think the game does a decent job forcing offline and online players to spend time getting the best rewards. It ends up being quite fair. Both sides have to do things they don't want to for the best rewards but I wish there was more content for both.
-
@Thongypu_PSN fair point. Yes give us both more content for sure! More programs for both 100 percent.
-
I still don't get blaming the offline gamers. I have said it multiple times now that no offline gamer requested that all the offline rewards be flagged as no sell. In fact most, if not all, of us wish we could sell some our rewards to online players who don't want to play offline.
Is it fair that the online players can make stubs selling their rewards while offline players can't do the same? And online players know that they have an advantage in that regard. Just look at how many had a fit over the Acuna card showing up in a pack causing his value to fall.
We play offline. We don't care if online players get these offline reward cards by playing online. It does not effect us.
I think the one thing we can all agree on is that programs should have enough built in missions to earn the cards strictly offline or strictly online depending on user choice
-
@Dolenz_PSN what offline rewards does online players get lol? Only diamond quest cards can be bought. All multiplayer players can be bought outside the ranked cards. Ofc people were upset they took a card that was an exclusive online reward and killed it almost immediately. I sorta agree they have most programs that obtainable for both sides. But they could also keep some of it separate.
-
@Dolenz_PSN we are just gonna have to agree to disagree at this point. 99 percent of online cards can be purchased. Cant say the same for offline cards.
Maybe its not offline players faults that sds made a bone head dumb a.. decision to take away all the online programs away from us? So maybe I am blaming you guys for that. It could be i dont know.
I just want to have fun and enjoy the game. Im playing way too much offline this year. Way way way too much and its not fun. I have no choice if I want to keep up. I will not be purchasing the game next year if I have devote 70 percent of my time playing offline again. Ill be done.
