@SaveFarris I think you missed the point. The claim was absurd on its face (that Pepsi was on the hook for a harrier) and not only did they offer a substantial settlement, but it took a very favorable ruling from a very favorable judge (that Pepsi effectively court shopped to get) for them to get a dismissal (without ever having the execs testify). No one here is talking about suing SDS, but merely pointing out they effectively lied to their player base on both the “play your way” and “better rewards” aspects of the multiplayer program.

Can SDS please confirm if your weekend classic “bracket” is set by your highest rating achieved in the current season or your rating when the weekend starts?

With the bug that has HoF at 600 (instead of 700 like the game says) I don’t want to play and risk losing my 600 rating until it’s fixed if highest rating is being used.

I am also cheesed off that SDS lied about the “play your way” multiplayer program (because without that 50 bundle it is nowhere near “better” than what it replaced). And it’s not just the BR and Event requirements, but having those player pxp missions without them always being eligible for events pretty much forces us to play ranked with the program cards too.

As for company’s making misleading statements issue, just go watch “Pepsi, Where’s My Jet” documentary.

My guess is SDS realized that no one is playing br and the br goons are sad they have no scrubs to beat up on, so they are trying to force us into that mode again (scummy move, but likely what’s going on).

Let’s be clear, the OP was in OhChev’s twitch chat last night bragging about how he used his profits from these back orders to sell to 3rd party stub sites. He is mad because this change is costing him actual money (violating TOS).

What’s amazing about this level of incompetence is that they didn’t even mention mini seasons in the patch notes. They somehow can break things they are supposedly not touching.

Once again (this is 2 years in a row) a patch has broke the game and made it unplayable. Do not load in right now to DD as there is a very high likelihood you will get booted mid-game and lose progress.

At what point does SDS realize their devs are actually incompetent at their jobs and clean house?

My guess is SDS turned down the hit chance of line drives and perfects (both liners and grounders) to make up for the fact that there would be more hit due to bad infielder reactions in order to keep scoring more reasonable). Of course it was a dumb move and plays awful, but that’s my guess and it seems to play out (more likely to get a hit this year on medium groundballs than perfects.

I’ve played. Other than the garbage stadium locked, I like events still even without the rewards. It’s a good way to get online stats for free (vs br) without having to play 9 inning sweaty games on ranked. I applaud SDs for the change.

I’m well over 100 walks vs cpu already (thank you milestones for keeping track), which is utterly insane (I usually try very hard not to walk vs cpu in random games)

Having people do this once for the cards is fine. Making us play it 4x is just a brain dead move by the content team.

@trfatboy22 but, you don’t have to with DQ (the cards are on the market if you want them). With breakout, you have no option other than doing a dumb showdown 4x.

You almost have to wonder if the person at SDs was high when they came up with this idea.

“Play the game your way, well except for this program where you have to beat the same showdown 4 times all while getting no TA progress.”

Just got the “your opponent has an invalid roster” message when trying to enter a moment (the 3rd to last square) in diamond quest and it looks like my only option is to reset the app (won’t let me even forfeit the game).

Opponents should never have an invalid roster if the game was coded correctly.

@IrishFist412 sure, you may get the reward after it is totally unplayable and behind the power creep. No reason not to put the ranked and br cards in drop 3 other than gatekeeping.

With this program setup, will anyone who isn’t seriously invested in their ranked rating ever play a game against Randy or JohnDon again? Definitely not in events, and probably not ranked either.

This is a huge fail, that ignores what 99% of their customers wanted (ie a way to earn br and WS rewards when they are useable). Events are now just for stat grinding and there is no reason to ever spend 1500 stubs on a br entry if you can’t go flawless.

Just a complete swing and a miss from the team here.

The xp cap makes zero sense without sellable rewards in the inning program. If it is back this year it’s because SDS are clueless.

@xElRojo44x- there definitely wasn’t one when we had inning programs before. Whatever year Hank Aaron was an inning boss (later season), I got him the day he released.

@dmc04005 it’s not launch night that matter, it’s what happens going forward. The new weekend league matches you up against players of your skill level, so having substantially better cards will make a huge difference. AND all the die hard get LS done relatively quickly and with a slow power creep (which it looks like we have) you are effectively going to run into the same lineups constantly in competitive play. This was a huge problem that people constantly complained about in the past and it will only be worse wi5 a slow power creep where those LS collection cards are the best cards for 4 months.

@dmc04005 I don’t think you quite understand that the same people who buy all the cards launch night will still buy all the LS diamonds launch night (since those would be the best cards). It’s not like people are going from spend $1000 to zero, it’s like to $800 (so SDS still makes money) and isn’t it amazing that all the other ultimate team games do just fine without having day 1 99s? I am not disputing that it is likely we will see a LS collection 99 at launch, just that it isn’t actually good for the game in the long run (specifically balance and actual power creep).
