    Change My Mind: This game is not Fun or Competitive
    1. Facing 99 Kluber every [censored] game.
    2. Skill Generally is Not Rewarded
    3. Fly balls bouncing off our defenders’ heads.
    4. The game is not allowing us locate pitches & Our pitchers throwing meatballs right down the middle for homeruns regardless of pitcher control stats.
    5. It’s either Homerun, double play, or bust.
    6. Perfect/Perfect feedback is an out. But Good/Okay Contact is blasted into the stands for bombs.
    7. High Sinkers and High Velocity dominate this game.
    8. When you start smacking around Little Billy, the game’s RNG & scripted gameplay starts to impact your win/loss w/ errors and other bs.
    9. Constantly being unfairly matched up with Godly squads.
    10. Most importantly, Why even “practice” when it doesn’t make perfect in this game?

    Unless anyone can convince me, I’m taking a break from this game until they patch it. Call of duty has been fun.

    The Real Reason Why This Game is Broken

    The game is broken due to one underlying reason many of us fail to open our eyes and see.........

    $$$ Player Retention Churn $$$

    I might get banned for this but you should all google and research how game developers are using this stat to calculate how much money they are losing when many players leave their game to play something else.

    Everyone is competing for our play time on their game. Ask why?

    SDS openly admitted in one of their prior Twitch streams that a majority of their player base is not really good at this game compared to what they thought, so they had to “adjust” the game. This was based on their stats and research team.

    SDS understands that most of their customers are not very good at this game. Therefore, they don’t want the better players consistently beating up on the majority of bad players causing them to leave the game and play something else. Why do you think Modern Warfare has Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM)? Therefore they have to give the bad players a chance to “compete.”

    So they add the randomness (RNG), random pitching accuracy, defensive errors, and inconsistent hitting feedback to help reduce the skill gap. Then they say “baseball is random” to justify their cash cow methods and many of us buy into it year after year.

    The reality is that this allows the bad players who are not good in this game to still “compete” and be happy and buy stubs. It also helps these players think that all they need to do is “buy a new card” to be better at the game.

    If the players stay, SDS makes $$$ through stubs.

    Sorry if this is long but I tried my best to summarize it. It’s All about the Benjamins Baby

    RE: $1200 Stimulus Check. How much we wasting on stubs?

    As I mentioned before, they are not getting a penny until they fix this game.

    @joshjays44 said in 1.09 Patch Discussion:

    See guys?, the ones complaining and making silly posts about fielding will never get fixed?.....use this post to apologize 🙂

    Please ban this hot pocket eating, offline playing wannabe troll.

    How is this trolling?, the majority of you guys complained constantly that the game is garbage and made multiple threads screaming from the hilltops wanting refunds and saying SDS is slacking off and don't care bla bla bla. Now what are you gonna complain about now? go head, make something up. Why don't you man up and use this post to apologize for all the doubts and accusations you guys made.

    Are you serious? They released a patch last time saying it would fix fielding and they didn’t.

    You say what else is there to complain about?

    1. Inconsistent hitting feedback
    2. Pitching accuracy issues - serving up meatball homeruns on good input
    3. High sinkers
    4. Facing 99 Kluber every friggin game!
    5. Homerun or Bust feeling
    6. Perfect/Perfect is a double play/warning track shot but a Good/Okay is a homerun blast into the upper deck
    7. Base-runners running like they’re on ice
    8. Changing hitting when it was near perfect in beta / 1st week.
    9. Lying to us that skill will matter more than ever this year.

    There’s more to complain about but I’m tired of it at this point.

    YOU can get SDS to fix Diamond Dynasty

    By doing ONE simple thing:

    1. Stop playing the game

    OR

    1. Stop buying stubs $$$$$$

    Ball is in your court fellow gamers.

    My previous post was removed by mods because they don’t want us to see the truth. I am saving backlogs of it in case and posting to other outlets if it gets removed again as proof.

    The Better Player Should Win

    That’s all we ask SDS.

    Skill should be rewarded. That’s what you promised us so that we would buy this game again.

    Bring back hitting to how it was at launch. Fix hanging meatballs from perfect/perfect pitching. Fix the god forsaken defensive bugs.

    Enough already with rewarding bad players so that you get your stub $$$$ money from the majority (lower skilled players).

    You may continue to fool many players with your little Twitch streams, showing us “new cards,” and twitch drops but remember.... many of us that keep complaining will eventually move onto other games that are currently listening to their community if nothing gets fixed.

    RE: New WS rewards.

    @Kid_Cutr said in New WS rewards.:

    Do we know who is getting added as WS rewards today? Not like I’ll get there but just curious lol.

    At this point, they could add Jesus Christ Overall 99.

    I don’t care about content until they fix the gameplay.

    RE: Now I’m heated..

    Regardless of how we feel, most players will just accept anything SDS does and defend it. They don’t know any better and SDS will take advantage of it for $$$$.

    RE: Anyone else having a hard time hitting?

    @allmustfall16 said in Anyone else having a hard time hitting?:

    Never had a worse stretch than right now. Hitting is difficult. In 700 and above and even in all star. You’ll still have fluky games where your team goes off. But for the most part, hitting feels terrible. And the games where I’m having good input, seem like the ball goes right to someone or I don’t get rewarded for it.

    I hate to be that guy, but it does almost seem like you’re playing against a predetermined outcome.

    This. Hitting is not as fun as when it first came out. My solid hits are not being rewarded but my opponents weak contacts are spraying for hits. I’m always facing 99 Kluber high sinkers against my Oswalt. Then my pitcher with solid command and perfect/perfect input is constantly hanging up meatballs for bombs.

    It’s just not fun anymore so I’ve been taking my quarantine time over to COD Warzone until they fix it.

    RE: YOU can get SDS to fix Diamond Dynasty

    @SchnauzerFace Well we can at least agree that SDS is doing nowhere near the amount of gameplay fixes that they should be doing.

    To be fair, I’m comparing them to other games I’m playing now during this pandemic.

    If baseball fans wants to change that:

    1. Stop buying Stubs $$$$$

    OR

    1. Stop playing the game

    Also, I don’t know anything about programming a video game, but I have to imagine it took about 30 seconds to change the amount of XP awarded in HR Derby, and it probably took hundreds of man hours to update all the animations and all the coding that controls fielding. So when people say “they fixed the exploits before the fielding!!!!” it’s really not a fair comparison at all.

    Ramone, is that you?

    Dude, it is way too suspicious how you defend this game of EVERYTHING. Like you have.... some kind of..... investment... in it...

    No gameplay fixes / issues you say?

    1. Hitting Feedback. “Good / Okay” for bombs in the upper deck but a “Perfect / Perfect” is a double play or warning track shot.
    2. Pitching location - Good input is not rewarded and ends up being homerun meatballs with pitchers with 98 control.
    3. Having to face 99 Kluber EVERY game because of their new “pitcher stamina” experiment.
    4. High sinkers being exploited. IRL, pitchers are taught to throw LOW sinkers to induce ground balls. In this game they feel like 103mph fastballs with insane movement.
    5. Defense. That’s all I have to say. Look at the MLB Players tournament and recent Youtube videos for proof.
    6. Constantly being unfairly matched with God Squads due to people exploiting XP.
    7. I can keep going...........?

    Not just me saying this but MLB players & World Series Players.

    Lol, so I’m Ramone because I call you out for lying? I clearly said the game is flawed. No doubt. There is a LOT to be done! But if you still can’t admit you straight up lied by shouting “NO GAMEPLAY FIXES” in all caps, then I am not wasting my time on you.

    And you must be new if you think I’m Ramone. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve been banned from this forum.

    All of the above issues have NOT been completely fixed. How am I lying?

    Did you play 1.08?

    Have you played 1.10?

    If you answered yes to both of those, how can you say “NO GAMEPLAY FIXES” with a clear conscience? Defense is night and day and you know it brah.

    Yes, even if you “are correct,” ignore everything else I mentioned above.

    I know, the truth can hurt but I want you to see it.

    @SchnauzerFace said in YOU can get SDS to fix Diamond Dynasty:

    Here’s the simple truth: the game is bad enough for us to complain about, but not bad enough for us to stop playing altogether.

    Here’s another simple truth: it would take way, way more work for SDS to make the game so good that we stop complaining than it takes to keep it hovering at a level that’s just good enough for us not to quit.

    Here’s a final simple truth: unless there’s serious competition on the market, SDS will always prioritize keeping the game “just good enough” over delighting us with an outstanding gaming experience.

    Never said you ONLY have to stop playing. Two options. The other option i mentioned is not to buy stubs as protest.

    You absolutely can buy stubs, but ask yourself why support a company that is not listening to you?

    They are not my servants. They don’t have to do ever thing I ask them to do. They have made a fun but flawed baseball game. Clearly the game is not perfect. But I choose to support them because —FOR ME — I get more enjoyment than frustration from playing. If the scales ever tip the other way and the game stops being fun, I’ll quit playing. But that will be because I decide it’s no longer worth my time — not because some dude is trying to start a mutiny on the SDS message boards.

    They are slowly fixing some of the flaws, and the game is slowly becoming more enjoyable. They obviously ARE listening but 1) there are a million people demanding “listen to me!!” and most are contradicting each other, and 2) there is a plague that had completely upended normal life.

    If the game isn’t fun in your eyes, then go do something else that you enjoy.

    I said the ball is in your court. Not holding a gun to your head. It’s your choice & you obviously choose to continue playing a broken game and supporting a company that doesn’t support or listen to you. That’s ok!! It’s Your choice.

    My point is not everyone is you or me. Some can side with you or me. That’s ok. But don't tell me that if we all stopped buying stubs that SDS wouldn’t get off their behind and fix this??

    Almost every other game is releasing successful patches and fixes despite this plague. SDS is failing all of us with failed promises and a broken game w/ NO GAMEPLAY FIXES but anything that effects their bottom line $$$$$$ is fixed immediately ASAP!!!!

    Ex: Patch for Homerun Derby exploit 😂😂😂 What a joke

    yep. If you and you only stop playing the game, this company will end.

    And just because you put a 1 in front of both of those things doesn’t make it one thing

    Then why do you think they removed my post stating this exact same post this morning?

    They are afraid of losing stub $$$$

    They saw what happens when a community comes together and fights a major $$$ monopoly corporation. Look at what fans did to EA Sports Star Wars Battlefront.

    Made them change their whole loot system.

    You guys in this forum seem to lay down and take it hard w/ no fight but other sites are opening their eyes.

    It’s ONE thing not two. Look up the definition of OR.

    Example: You are either incompetent OR a troll. You are ONE of those things not TWO like you claim.
