@lorangejuice_MLBTS Two words: Salary cap.

Touche!

@lorangejuice_MLBTS They'll probably, play some other game you'll eventually complain about and return here. The cycle continues.

Gotcha. I already paid for the game this year, so I'll play when I want while holding SDS accountable. Like what am I supposed to do, just take it in the you know what? That's just as crazy to me.

Not planning on buying '27. That could change though, but it's not looking very good rn lol.

Same here. Yikes...this is getting tiring.

Do what, now?

Ok, the train is back on the tacks and heading in the right direction. Credit where credit is due!

I can’t believe I’ve been defending SDS for a day. I think my first post this season was like “fire the menu guy”

I just don’t understand why everyone is so miffed

I'm more weirded out than miffed. The "what's behind the next curtain" aspect makes me feel really...weird...cringe...like they're dangling a carrot on a stick because they need money.

It's just a game, but unveiling a limited time program out of nowhere and then the program itself is locked behind a veil of see it after you start it just feels....exploitive? Dude, I have limited time too, just let me see it so I can decide what I want to play lol.

I'm really not trying to be dramatic. It's just a video game...but that's exactly why I think it should have just been dropped into the new content schedule and not to the tune of "stay tuned for a surpriiiiiise" and not walled behind two more curtains. Like just drop it out there like every other program.

It just feels weird. It doesn't feel like a video game at all. It's certainly not fun for me. I'm trying it, and it's meh.

I just don't see how SDS didn't see this coming. There seems to be little testing and adjusting here. And the surveys...I've filled out 3 or 4 recently that just ask what do I like about DD and what I don't. If they would have asked questions asking about the different aspects of this program, or any program they were thinking about trying, I think some of this could have been avoided.

These are business decisions. My guess is that online play has not been what they want or need.

Also, trying something new when many things are obviously broken while cheating does not appear to be enforced is the issue, IMHO.

With that said, personally, I would double and even triple down on what has worked in the past, like double PXP for the weekend instead. That seemed to work for everyone regardless of the modes they prefer to play. I say try bringing that back once before trying new things.

A limited time mode with a lot to do just further incentivizes cheating, IMHO. I say bring on that enforcement!

Why cheat in a video game? THIS. This is EXACTLY why people cheat in a video game.

It's like they made this program just to reward them. And forcing the rest of us online into the cheater's den. It's already showing in Moonshot.

Wow!

Sounds way more fun that '26!

@Dolenz_PSN said:

Honestly, who cares if streams are pre recorded or not? Even when they are live they rarely, if ever, actually interact with chat in a meaningful manner.

I think their intent was to push back on any accusations of avoiding their users and phoning it in on the stream. To your point, it's not like they interact with the chat, so it seemed extra weird they'd make such a point of it on the first stream after the WBC and Degrom glitches. Like, if you're going to ignore us, even if it's just going about your corporate day, then just do it lol.

@LorangeJuice_MLBTS said:

Were they silent though?

Just from my own experience, albeit different industry, but experience seeing companies try to hiude their struggles- I think SDS is in deep financial trouble, so they're trying not to show it by more or less ignoring anything that might hurt them in additional financial ways.

@LorangeJuice_MLBTS said:

They really, really wanted to refute the claims in the chat saying today's stream was prerecorded.

If I didn't know any better, I would think that was 100% a line to throw us off the scent that it may have indeed been pre-recorded. "Trying too hard" comes to mind

This all makes sense to me!

@Bridge-Piece_XBL said:

@LorangeJuice_MLBTS sorry but him doing that glitch and encouraging followers to do it also is disgusting. It breaks TOS and is cheating. And these little kids that look up to him think they’re doing nothing wrong.

I don't follow the guy at all, but I did watch his videos on the cheating discord and the glitch after the "patch." I do agree with you though.

Now that time has showed us SDS will do absolutely nothing, I see quite a few posts that people got the message directly from SDS - and not Kyle - on how to proceed with a glitch. I'm not defending him, but now it's crystal clear he's not the problem. It's SDS.

No communication still makes no sense to me. At least say that the WBC mini seasons reward is now 1 stub. There were legit people who had no idea about anything and just won the championship only to get snubbed. Might still be. Now there's basically no WBC tournament mode which SDS heavily advertised. This might actually make their legal position worse, but I'm no expert. I would also think continuing to sell stubs to the masses without communicating the glitchflation is the real legal blunder.

The lack of fixes, bans, AND communications all add up in the consumers' favor if it ever gets to the point of legal action. If it hasn't already. And we're not even 1/2 way through the '26 cycle yet. Yikes!

@DrBear100_PSN said:

I would assume because of that, that is why the streamer(s) posted the video to encourage the exploit to gain views/followers if in fact they are so irrelevant.

I think so too.

Some are finally starting to criticize the game/company. Not just YFK. And well before the WBC glitch. It's all falling on deaf ears, it appears.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

Have any of you thought that maybe they haven't said anything because of legal ramifications?

Could be that theyre looking into banning people but have to make sure all the 'I's are dotted and all the 'T's are crossed.

They just cant come out 'willy nilly' and say so and so was banned.

Theres proper channels that have to be navigated.

You are correct. On the flipside, there are legal ramifications for not providing the product the consumer paid for. Maybe the TOS gets them out of it, but the TOS works both ways, and consumers have protections too.

Legal and PR departments can still advise on mass communications in the meantime as well.

@DemIsE4_XBL said:

A week long ban means nothing. I would do that in a heartbeat for 5,000 packs.

Exactly. That's why I think it was the best course of action. Everyone gets SOMETHING, and we move on rather quickly. The silence is deafening.

@MikeB14085_PSN said:

Then they come in and lock a post about violating TOS when they as a company have said its ok to do it since they took no action towards those that already did it. Bad look in my book they want people to stop talking about it clearly and hope it goes away but i am not surprised the issue was not even mentioned today.

They took this entire forum down last Sunday. Message received.

My sunk cost is gone for '26, so I'll play as I want to without spending another dime. No '27 barring some miracle.

Were they silent though? They really, really wanted to refute the claims in the chat saying today's stream was prerecorded. Um...ok? Then, Ashley threw her hands up and said there's just a lot of arguing online right now.

Did they just call us all out? Like they couldn't be bothered with any of us?

If so, now I'm sitting over here like YFK asking why Ashley? I defended you!

Message received? Yeah, it's time to dip out lol
