I would like single XP available in every game mode first

The fact of the matter is, not only is RTTS broken but essentially all modes linked to BALL PLAYER progression are broken. I completed 1st inning Diamond conquest in DIAMOND DYNASY and didn't receive a single task reward in RTTS BALL PLAYER. After grinding out over 50 hours I should have gotten the task rewards available to me for all game modes and I did not. We all paid alot of money for this game ($100 for early access and bonuses) not for a beta test. Now the game has officially launched and these things are still broken. I love this series and this developer but this is unacceptable. It wouldn't and isn't acceptable for 2k or EA or more recently CDProjekt Red and it shouldn't be acceptable for SDS. These studios have been given a pass on soft deadlines for far too long... Nobody would buy a brand new car without seats in it would they? Oh but BMW didn't mean to mis-manufacture the cars. Pissing and moaning is one thing but holding them accountable is another. Nowhere in that statement did I see where they mentioned the COMPLETELY BROKEN progression system or the COMPLETE LACK OF TASK TRACKING. Honestly, there is so much wrong with this game right now it'll be a month before it's fixed.

Between the broken RTTS progression system, Spending money on stubs for equipment that doesn't affect attributes and now not even being able to play the game AT ALL due to servers being constantly down, my patience is running thin. I've never been so close to demanding a full refund of a game and all in game transactions ever before but this has been a frustrating experience. Waste of time and waste of money. And to top it all off it seems they have no answers.

You literally have to weigh out what parts of this game you're will to waste your time on... I'm playing because I enjoy the gameplay but the feeling of wasted time is frustrating

I also want to point out that, once again, the DD community market is getting an update as we speak. Can't buy and sell on the community market? OMG that is a fix that needs to happen pronto! Can't make any progress at all in one of the major game modes rendering it unplayable? Eh, we will get around to it in some future update or something.

Majority of people who buy this game play RTTS that is facts produced by various outlets over the years. So this misconception that they pay more attention to DD is proposturus. As far as the market goes that is real money and it should be a top priority as well.

The $100 bills they received from every copy sold is real money as well. I understand that they should fix transactions first but don't downplay one person's money over another's. From what I understand that has been or is at the very least close to being resolved. And I'm sure that doesn't take all hand on deck to accomplish.

Do you have cross-play turned off? If so, try switching it back on. For whatever reason, turning it off made it inaccessible to me. Once enabled it worked again.

Thanks! that worked!

Anyone else wanna rush the mound in the final showdown against this pitcher?

Well, I understand that complex technical issues definitely can be hard to fix. And to @SGMRock_XBL 's point - sometimes you can't roll back because there are times that what you implemented that first patch for was more important than what was inadvertently broken by that same patch.

Professionally, I manage a large number of complex web systems for hospital system. It's not an understatement to say that I work hard. It's also not an understatement to say that if I make a mistake then people may die. The systems I am responsible for are critical to patient care throughout the hospitals in our organization. I totally understand working a complex issue and doing so under extreme pressure.

That said, I don't feel like it is in any way inappropriate to point out that SDS has well and truly "screwed the pooch" with this release. I'm not sure that I like the design choice of the "universal player" and trying to manage different "loads" depending on what you are trying to do at the moment. But I can't even give it a fair try because it is so badly broken at this time.

Again, SDS has said that "a RTTS player should feel like they can freely progress by playing RTTS and only RTTS" and this is absolutely and categorically untrue as of today, 4/20/2021 - which is the general release date (not early access) for this game. Anyone who has paid full retail price for this game, especially those who bought the game principally for the RTTS mode, has every right to be upset with SDS for the quality of this title at release.

I think the universal player feature is awesome... If it worked like it should. Alot of people said to delete all but one loadout and back out to clubhouse after every game to reset it. It worked at first but now I've notice that when I change to a pitching loadout just before starting a game I'm scheduled to pitch my team changes the lineup and I'm either DH or SS. So I have to close game and open again. Thankfully PS5 has fast load times

Is it not obvious that DD is their bread and butter in terms of money making? why else do most of the promotional materials and marketing refer to mostly DD in some way. As well as all of the ore order bonuses are all related to DD. Youre right that most people play RTTS and MLB the show kind of pioneered the create your player experience way back in the day but we are a long way off from that.

With all due respect that is why my post said "top priority as well." in hopes the implication would be perceived as an inclusion of the folks that don't play DD.

I understand both sides of this as I've also dropped $300 on stubs. I however had no issues with my transactions thankfully. I guess my biggest issue and I assume most will agree, is we spent $100 on a game that we knew for a fact we would be spending the majority of our time playing RTTS and now we are relegated to playing Moments until "a future update" because in all honesty my stick skills don't hold up in online mode. Get good, I know. And the fact we've all been waiting for SDS to acknowledge the progression,task and perk/loadout issues in RTTS all weekend when they finally do they chased a ball in the dirt. Pun intended.

Is SDS aware that I spent on stubs to purchase equipment and said equipment has zero effect on my attributes? This is concerning as I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere.

It worked for me. I'm legit only trying to help. Ballplayer doesn't reset only RTTS story.

I don't understand this, rtts is supposed to be the story of your journey to the bigs. Almost every player ever has had to play another position at some point in their career yet not in rtts. I created a LF who apparently can't play center or right? Maybe even 3rd base... I just don't understand why it's still not an option. Seems to me it was once in the game, did they remove it and why?
