@Lord_Blumpkin35 said in 2022 in review. positive and negatives:
well forever program dropped today, and since I got little else going on atm might as well make a post. this year has been another weird situation of the game being so good and so so bad at moments, like most games but still for a game/series thats been around for so long i feel some of the things that happen just are laughable. so feel free to read, comment, input or just browse on here are my thoughts on the good and the bad of this year
positives:
mini seasons: listen of course its making the bad as well, but on paper, this idea is wonderful. packs that are achievable in a variety of ways, felt less monotonous than conquest, easy to alter teams and playing a somewhat variable computer. great for grinding, offline play. was so much fun esp at launch
market/content: of course overall the content has been consistent, am I saying its the best no, but getting players was so easy this year. I know the market was weird and I dont buy or sell like stocks, but I felt really with some grinding and some luck I could attain so many very good cards either for free or 100K or less.
throwback packs in events: aweome, tho ideally proabably will be moved to more wins but I love the ease of saying f this event and coming back next event. talking to you verlander
negatives: lol theres so many but for me big few ones:
mini seasons: essentially the quickets way to have a server crash or poor connection is to restart a mini season. oh and when you do enjoy your record being off. also computer pitchers dont get tired and pitch every game is brutal. also the longoria thing. finally offer some better rewards, this willy adames shouldve been 3 months ago
coop: anyone actually play this? offer rewards just like BR like total innings played etc. just make it fun like uniforms or equipment or packs
fielding: groundballs are a nightmare. its bad your first reaction is R2 or RT
misc: announcers are bad, bring back derosa ( who still cant hit a slider) or just make the commentary a smidge better.
events: make them more of an event please, HOF difficutly, actually only switch hitters, baby boomers vs under 23 squads, AL vs NL, certain eras or fields etc. get creative
soundtrack still meh.
finally introduce some new freaking packs. the shop is a joke. add some 80's or starting pitcher packs or something. 99% of the game is standard packs. loved the chase pack but why settle for literally one thing. add so much more there
also exchanges: like why does this exist? let alone ok let me swap my 19210103 commons then have to open the bronze pack then swap more
I don’t mind the soundtrack. Song rights can be incredibly costly and holds up a lot of things in RL. SDS simply does not have the budget that other companies like 2K has and if rather them focus the money they do have on other things like server stability and possibly new legends
