I’ve never wanted any change in this franchise more than i want the real names put back on the incognito cards.

All the shills out in full force to combat this backlash I see…

No one has a problem with nicknames…it’s the execution of this that’s the problem.

The players don’t have names on their jersey. Certain names show up as BLANK on the scoreboard and in-game graphics.

Just use the name of the player and put the nickname on the card art. K.I.S.S.!

The way they’ve executed it is just awful.

This is exactly my thought. Hope they change it back. They is a LOT of backlash on this, i feel like more than ive ever seen for one thing they’ve ever done.

Guess im done for the night. That blows

Thank you. I did notice a different stub balance. I thought that any purchased from here on out wouldn’t transfer, but the stub balance is lower on switch, for the amount i bought from ps5 yesterday, before linking. Thanx again for the info!!!

Is this literally isolated to just the show and just ps5? I get a ‘there’s a problem with your account on PlayStation network’. Show loads up no problem on my Switch. I also tested out opening up a ps+ game on the 5; started right up.

Wow! Thanx man, appreciate it!

How does the XP loop work? I didn’t watch any pre-release videos, I don’t have any patience for that lol, so thanx in advance for responses.

Same here

@SuntLacrimae50_MLBTS said in Major Misses by SDS in 23: A Show Lover's Take:

I list these complaints simply to get them off my chest. I think other single-player DD grinders probably agree with most of it. I've defended SDS in many threads for making so much content free to NMS players, but this year's game's design decisions have made grinding an unpleasant chore. I'm close to calling it quits.

1. CPU pitchers on rookie this year throw far fewer middle-middle pitches than in past years. It's not even close. This makes grinding much more frustrating. In MS and Conquest, many players play on rookie and have other things on in the background. We don't want to "focus" and "work counts." There's a psychology behind this, and SDS has ignored that. So many at-bats on rookie have 70-rated pitchers throwing balls feet off the plate followed by painting the black. They jam you inside then spam sliders. It's not hard; it's just not fun. This is made worse by #2 and #3...

2. Perfect-perfect nukes with power hitters routinely fail to go out. Routinely. This is a baffling design decision that makes "grind 99" even more frustrating. Add to that...

3. The game is often a line-out simulator. Far too often the ball beams straight to a fielder who barely has to move. Several streamers have observed this.

4. TA2 is absurd. The grind is ridiculous. The number of raw hours you have to put in to complete it means it's meant to dominate your time with the game, especially now that the clock is running on those cards due to seasons.

5. Kaiju and other programs are pure filler. Why do we care about 90 OVR cards when our teams are stacked with 99's already? Answer: because the game is now all about preparing for some collection down the line. BUT we're forced to use the cards to complete the programs. Ugh.

Ultimately, my displeasure comes down to single-player grinding on rookie. I've played hundreds of games this year and lost maybe 3. There have been games where I've put up 30, but many more where I've hit well but won 3-0 because of #2 and #3.

Rookie grind is meant to be candy. Pure fun. Domination.

Mindless.

It's not now, and it's not fun.

Just sharing my thoughts on a message board, hoping that SDS sees it perhaps. There have to be thousands of grinders out there who are feel similarly.

Off to play Fallout...peace.

All of this exactly!!!!! Thank you for posting this!!

I was just wondering why I wasn’t receiving notifications, saw this thread, wanted to add to it. I also haven’t received any at all this year.

Love them. Bright spot on a rough season so far…. Already ordered the hat. Really wanna get these in game!

Thanx for all the info. So just to be clear, PS5 was primary last year and will be every year. After purchasing the game on Switch, I don’t need to do anything more than simply opening it up and it will be all good?

I really liked the ability to grab the Switch and play my DD when I wasn’t near my PS5 last year, so ive been considering it again this year. Has anyone, who uses the Switch as a secondary source of the show, had any issues or complaints this year? Since I synced it last year, would i have to do the same this year or would it just recognize my console? Any other info for or against it is also appreciated. Thank you!

How do you skip games? Start and quit them?
