Ideas to keep offline community engaged for remainder of game cycle.
-
Revert CPU pitching back to 2023-2024. While content has been an issue this year, particularly with removal of TA, the gameplay ultimately is why my play time has plummeted this year.
I would possibly play through a USA map though. And if all online rewards became earnable offline during forever season it would give me some hope for 2027.

Online is pretty barren also. Events take a handful of games to finish. BR is dead and worthless. Ranked is fun enough for a handful of games but cheaters are rampant at the higher levels that I stop trying to go any higher now. Then there’s a weekend classic for a few games if you have time to play on the weekend

They could have easily had a spooky program which at least gives people something to do each day.
It's so easy, worked well last year, so it's just mind-blowing that they've instead decided to just go multiple days without any content for anyone (offline, online or hybrid), only to release a glut of short programs, before another major lull.All at a time when people should be excited about baseball and the game.
Genuinely baffles me how they could miss such easy wins.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN 100% correct it’s like they literally looked at the good from last year and took it away no ta no spooky and probably more I’m forgetting. Next year has to be a alltime game for sds.

How to keep me involved.
Give me cards to play for and earn. It seems like 90% of the cards I wanted the most (yes, Cardinal Cards) had to be bought for stubs. 5 Chase Cards, Several Headliner Cards, Multiple cards that were the rare round in Packs.
Just playing to earn stubs only so that I can buy players in the on the market is not as entertaining. I don't think there is an easy way to do it, but I would love to see the number of Cardinals cards I purchased vs how many I pulled.

Honestly, I doubt they care. I'd expect Extreme, Finest, then forever programs with a few random captain programs before '27 comes out.

Pure speculation, but i'm guessing they're cutting costs or moving resources to the horrendous mobile game (which is wild, given their revenue is still very, very high).
Limiting content, releasing what content there is in batches and then having big barren patches stinks of cost cutting, to me.
They've turned a live service game into a part-time live service game, right before our eyes.I know this game has a shorter lifespan than it's competitors, but it's wild that we're 5 months away from a new game and we're basically done.

We're five months off 27.
