Just let us play the game. No need to dictate the outcomes. I'd rather lose 75-46 to an opponent on every pitch than this junk 75-46 lol wrong sport Can't be the NFL bc no one scores 75 Can't be the NBA bc no one scores 46 Can't be soccer or hockey... Gotta be the TNBA, I mean WNBA, right?

It feels like the game really stalls out just after the All Star break every year. There's loads of content, mostly maxed out 99 ovr teams and nothing to look forward to after the mid summer classic.

Madden has the same problem but usually after the Super Bowl and it seems like 2k has its players engaged all year long until the new one comes out.

What can SDS do? Rewards are worthless since anything you can pull in the pack can easily be had by spending 8 minutes flipping cards and even the rewards from RS, BR and especially events can be had fairly easily by flipping.

I like the game and gameplay but [censored], DD gets really old, really fast.

Well put my friend and I think we all need to remind ourselves these pay-to-play/dynasty modes are PURE DOPAMINE hits. These companies are essentially DOP dealers.

Found it much easier to quit illegal substances than it's been these game modes since the harm it is doing to you isn't noticeable until you take a step back.

Appreciate the reminder that I needed my friend

As a teacher, it would take me a decade , to arrive at 40k per year in the State of Idaho. And that's not a living wage here either. But I understand. 70k would be very difficult to get by on in California.

Move to Canada. Our dipshit teachers average 88K/year here. That doesn't include gold plated benefits and pension

Didn't your leader lock down bank accounts of his own citizens because they were honking their own trucks?

Rather be homeless in Hawai'i than ever step foot on leaf land

I've never checked out SDS as a company before Based on their 2004 web 2.0 homepage, error message when attempting to apply for a job and seeing that the average salary is around $77k for a video game programmer in the San Diego area (which is the same as $40k for someone down south) - we're clearly dealing with a small business with limited resources.

They last game they made aside from The Show was in 2017

Clearly they're not attracting the best and brightest in the industry. I worked for MLB.com/Bamtech a few years back and I'm assuming they're on or just above the level of the RBI production crew who sat in the section next to mine.

This year, it's far more about microtransactions due to the bad rewards (aside from the main program bosses) and removal of TA - you gotta rip packs. So you either spent 1/2 your day flipping/echanging or pony up real dollars to have any shot at coming close to the LS collection. Play 16 hours a day to complete RS unless you're a top, top player.

With that said - if you're moving in the direction of microtransactions, those funds HAVE TO BE reinvested in to finding better talent in the production/coding department. If they're not and you come out with the same BS next year...well....RIP

Good luck

Meter pitching feels way more random this year than last.
Too many late line drives and early pop fly HR's. Too many slightly early weak ground balls to 3rd and slightly late weak pop flies. P/P is like 60/40
400 innings for ranked - dead mode
Events rewards are trash and selling for less than LS Arenado
12 free 90's + lack of stubs in circulation + lack luster collection rewards (90% quit if someone sees a 99 unit) = pack ripping a lost past time
No daily program that gave rewards instead of useless XP
Game has been on mute since 4/1. Announcers are dog shite. Go get Don Orsillo from next door SDS.

All while Madden officially committed suicide this year and 2k with early hype and a big drop off.

TF is going on with deez guys?

It’s a shite game mode except the 1st time thru. Why play a 2nd time, go through 30 games to get a 15 pack when you can play 9 games in repeatable conquest for the same 15 packs?

Pulled Trout 4 hours after downloading the game. Haven't pulled anything better than a Brandon Woodruff since. Oh well, still worth it.

There's a simple fix for this

Since people are still dashboarding in the 1st 3 innings, going back to wins is the only move

HOWEVER, since people lose on purpose to go to a lower tier, how about once you reach a tier, you can not go back down. This eliminates the people who were actually exploiting the game, stops the dashboarders and brings back the 30 wins for those that don't have the reflexes of a someone on 90mg of adderoll.

So SDS caters to the dozen YTers and not the tens? of thousands of others who play the game?

Aside from giving up your whole life and/or another plandemic, who has time to play 400 innings especially when people are still dashboarding anyway?

Other option is to spend $200 on stubs to buy the player off the small amount of WS level players?

Scumbag move SDS, big time scumbag move

I didn't get the 5 packs at the end of the mystery conquest. Didn't take much time but still silly.

After the update this morning, anyone still not getting packs? Trying to do the USA map and not complete any divisions til this is fixed.
