1. Just fyi, whenever I'm batting in the Show and my wife is talking to me, I can't concentrate.

2. I'm playing the Justin Turner POTM moment for 6 TB in a game. And my wife comes downstairs, starts talking to me and for several attempts I keep screwing up. Finally I get frustrated and ask her to leave, "I can't concentrate with you talking to me."

3. Now I'm at the point where on my latest attempt I hit a double and need 4 more TB to finish. Just as she is exiting he room completely I hit a deep fly that looks like it'll be a wall-scraper and I start yelling "Get outta here! Get outta here!"

4. My wife yells back "F**K you!"

5. The ball clears the wall! Homerun!! Mission Complete!! And I start yelling "Finally!!!"

6. My wife now half-way up the stairs yells again "Go F**k yourself!!" Not realizing I've been talking to the TV.

7. I laugh so hard because it was perfect timing the way it unfolded. I laugh as I tell her, "I was talking to the TV!" LOL LOL

Different hitters, pci lined up same way, and completely different results: one a laser grounder and the other a shallow fly ball. Wtf??

Last year's DD was ADDICTING and the BEST it ever was!! It was fun, engaging and worth the grind all year. As a developer you build on what you create, not remove and replace.

This year, a few observations that have made DD take a step back in my opinion and I hope SDS is reading:

1. What happened to the Inning Moments? Where are the moments we played that focused on the careers of the 3 "Bosses"? The Day in History, Boss Battles, etc that earned PROGRAM stars?

2. Is Showdown essential for having a shot at 300 Stars to get a Boss? If so, that is a crock! It's fun as an alternative to more program stars, since it goes to 1000 now versus like 600 last year.

3. Update 1.04 today that made adjusted the hitting difficulty just RUINED IT! The hitting PCI in veteran looks like All-Star size. The results are inconsistent: 2 batter, same PCI locate where the ball was hit and 2 completely different results: laser grounder through the infield and other a fly ball to shallow right field. The hitting was CONSISTENT in the results prior to this. PLEASE UNWIND THE 1.04 UPDATE!!

4. It seems they are forcing you to spend stubs to get deep in the program stars for the Inning Programs. This isn't right! What, SDS didn't make enough money last year??

So far, I'm disappointed. What does everyone else think?

Thanks.

So, after grinding through the first few months of programs through the Father's Day program in June, my DD roster was basically set with my favorite players. Then Season 3 came along and suddnlenly just about my players were ineligible except for 1 Wild Card.

This eligibility addition this year ruined my love for DD. Since July I've had no desire to grind away at all the programs, conquest etc. What's the point if you finally earn a certain player if a week later a new season starts and you are restricted from using them?

Anyone else feel Season Eligibility should be removed next year? Or share in my thoughts?

Request to "XP REWARD PATH" screen:

Please when we select this screen automatically have it load to the last level we redeemed/what current level we're at. It's really annoying swiping right for 5+ second every time when you're in Gold and Diamond level.

Should be as easy fix for SDS.

The one thing in Diamond dynasty this year that I wish would change and for next year is alternatives to online play for program stars in the Inning programs.

Example: if there's up to 300 possible program stars you can earn through online playing, have an alternative for non online users. Make like extra missions like stat accumulating like in the 11th inning.

I dont feel it's fair to force people to play online to enjoy all possible rewards.

Anyone else agree and feel this is a reasonable change for 2020?

@GradektheBard said in DD has taken a step back this year and here's why...SDS PLEASE READ!:

The patched hitting in 1.04 is garbage. No one was asking them to make hitting harder (other than to make pitching more accurate). This patch has made showdown virtually unplayable for average players. Once again, hitting is great at launch and sds mucks it up.

ABSOLUTELY! We go through this every year. It's great then they screwed it up, then they fix it a few "updates" later even though it was fine the 1st time.

Without real baseball going on, SDS is going to have to do a better job coming up with more content to keep us busy. More moments, missions, this day in history e.t.c.

The latest player program Kerry Wood took less than 2hrs... 6 missions or so and then a 9 inning game vs the Cubs.

Pick up the pace SDS. We're going to need more substance without real life baseball.

After yesterday's 1.06 patch that eliminated the runner window if auto fielding was on, I immediately made a post about how ridiculous this was.

With the outpouring of replies and complaints, it's obvious SDS was reading and undid it with today's 1.07 update. That was fast!!

Thanks to all who made your voice heard on that one!!

Based on your performance in the player showcase, have that actually affect what round you're drafted in. Don't have it pre-set. Seems like you can load your RTTS 10x and the same team will keep drafting you. As a SP, your player should automatically respond to balls hit behind him and at least turn around to watch the play instead of just staring at the catcher.

Has SDS acknowledged or said when the custom team logo glitch will be fixed? This is really annoying that the logo dissappears on random games.

Just finished the Texas map and got the Texas rangers city Connect uniform. You can't go to "uniforms" and collect it? Anyone else notice that?

When will SDS come out with a patch regarding glitches with team logos? Every other game nearly my custom team logo is missing from uniforms.

@DaddyDingerz_PSN said in Who’s idea was all the Kaiju BS?:

SDS has been great at content in general, but this one is a little too out there for me, personally. I think it’s a little childish and silly, but also completely irrelevant. It’s a baseball game, let’s stick with that guys.

Agreed. Stupid stadiums.

Does anyone know if SDS has acknowledged that every other game custom team logos dissappear from uniforms?

Need help with custom DD uniforms. My team name is Spartans and I can't figure out how to spell the complete name in cursive for example. It seems you have to choose each indivisible letter.

Is there a way I can spell it all out in a certain font?

@fletch62176_PSN said in Settings wont carry into DD:

I only play offline content and can confirm the same issue with Fielding Aids defaulting to Off for every conquest game, though it seems to function properly in moments. I opened a bug report for this as well as the extremely dim catcher recommendation indicator... so we'll see what comes of that.

Yes Offline is the issue

@dap1234567890 said in Settings wont carry into DD:

Well, my friend, since DD is a competitive mode, they do not allow those "aids" in this game mode. There is no way to have those settings turned on for DD.

You can turn them on in game in DD. Just wondering how to set as the default.

In the general settings, I have "Fielding Aids" turned ON, especially "CPU pitch suggestion." In DD In game, they're off and I have to keep turning them on. Any idea why those settings aren't set in DD games??
