I feel the same. I saw it today and I was like I don't want to grind thru this. It sort of killed my excitement. Just feels like the same thing over and over. Maybe I should have taken a break from the game this year. No longer motivated.

Ive come to appreciate this game so much more.
This game is on another level.
For the ones that sometimes get tired of it since it's all you play - go play an EA game and come back - you'll just appreciate this game so much more.

that's pretty cool to see! good job sds!

Every year this thread.

@x-supersko-x_xbl said in This game is absolutely boring and unrewarding right now.:
I play the online modes once in a while (Events and BR) but I have a career job and just don’t have the time to invest into ranked seasons. That means I play the single player modes the majority of the time - including RTTS.
As of right now, not including a few of the gold and diamond programs in RTTS, I’ve already completed everything available for the offline modes. The game is so boring right now that I’ve even completed every Conquest map.
To make matters worse, the game doesn’t feel rewarding. Out of the 37 Live Series diamond players available at the moment, I have exactly 4 of them — and 1 card was purchased on the marketplace. Given that I’ve completed all of the “Other Programs” (except Stages 2 and 3 of the April Series, of course), all of the Showdowns, the Conquest maps and 3 full Mini Seasons, you can imagine how many packs I’ve opened along the way. I’ve even played the Mystery Conquest map about 15-20 extra times because it’s a quick and easy way to get 5 The Show packs for free.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t remember the game being so boring and unrewarding when The Show 21 was released. I know it’s early but something needs to change. The odds say we have a 1 in 50 pack chance to get a diamond player but that’s a load of bullsh*t! On one occasion, I opened 108 packs before I pulled a diamond player and I’m currently on 86 packs without a diamond pull. On top of that, out of all the Ballin’ is a Habit packs I’ve opened - I’m still sitting at 1 diamond player from those packs and 0 diamond pulls from Headliners packs.
When you combine all of this with the many lazy-assed copied and pasted card images from The Show 21, I’m really disappointed in the replayability and the lack of effort put into the game.
At the very least, they could give offline players a replayable Showdown like they finally added last year so we can earn cards for winning and sell them for stubs on the marketplace.
Sorry for the length … I don’t comment very often but wanted to vent a bit.
Agree w everything you said.

Whoever thought of doing a team specific program was really off the mark.
I have no interest in this 2nd inn program this year. I have no interest in the Phillies or their history and players. I don't hate the Phillies, but its not a team I am interested in. And why the Phillies of all teams? Its not a nationally recognized team like say the Yankees or Dodgers.
Anyway, first time in 6 years playing DD I have no interest. I usually like to do all the program missions but screw it w/ this program. Don't feel like doing multiple pitching missions w/ Halladay or any of these guys.
Just wanted to say that. Im sure Im not the only one feeling this way. Hopefully we see no more team specific programs thru the 22 cycle.

What a great baseball moment. This is why baseball is the best game!
-
Yes me too. Been playing DD since 17. Not sure what it is. Maybe overwhelmed. Maybe need a break. But I don't want to grind anymore. Feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over and over. showdown - conquest - some online - rinse and repeat

@lewisnadasurf1_PSN said in TA Grind - A Tad bit too long IMO:
This whole game is a grind.
I’ve refused to grind this year. The only thing I’m doing is the weeklies moments and I’m only playing ranked to see how I go.
I’ve literally only got about 10-15% of TA1 done 0-5% of TA2.
I now feel pressured as my team is still set 1 heavy
It ain’t for the casual unfortunately.
I've also sort of given up on TA this year.
I only have been doing the special programs like Kaiju, Mexico series, WBC type . Those are fun because it's a more manageable grind for me.

Go to Perks in Gamepass and you can get the code for 10 free Show Packs.

I really liked this online mode last year. I agree with you it has much more strategy than DD online. Not sure why they keep taking features and options away yearly. I know it's not a money generator but why subtract. All we've been asking for in this mode for years is the option to choose jerseys. We don't get that and now this.
-
I am going back to franchise this year.
It’s just you vs the cpu playing baseball.
Simple.

21 was so much better in all aspects. I still experience 3-4 crashes with 22 weekly
-
Monthly Devers is terrible for me. I thought he would be great because FOTF Devers is my best player. He just rakes. Monthly Devers has a hard time even getting a hit.
-
Never heard of this guy or any of the 'community' players. I think most people have not either that play.
if this post wasnt created i wouldn't have even known about this guy getting fired.
-
i remember a few years ago the game had a program featuring these community guys and I had no idea who any of them were. i was like what a big waste of time this program is. they made a program from some random joe's off the street.
I guess this guy who got fired must have thought he was something special. that posting he was fired would start some kind of nationwide outrage where people would stop playing the game and SDS would beg on their knees crawling back to him demanding he rejoin the 'community'. When in reality 98.9% of people who play this game have no idea who these people are.
there's an old saying I don't hear much anymore "Dont bite the hand that feeds you"
Delirious!
-
its happened for the last 7 years.
When it happens, log out of DD, log back in, and hit your edit uniforms and then back out. Usually fixes it.

I dont' have the game and only have seen it on twitch. But Boog sounds like one of those 16 bit sports talk baseball announcers back in the hey day of videogames.

I guess I really dont understand how PXP works to achiever program goals in 22 DD this year.
I understand you have to look at the card and it tells you what you need to complete to upgrade the PXP.
But it's really become a grind now especially for offline gamers. I don't really want to play some useless meaningless exhibition games. I have played conquest and mini seasons but it seems like it doesn't move that fast.
I've been stuck on the Billy Williams card for like forever. Also in the WSH City Uni's been stuck on 27 and I need 3 more for Rendon. Again, seems like whatever I do , the pxp accumulation moves so slowly I have to ask myself is it even worth doing.
I don't spend money so i can't do the exchanges at this point yet. And the exchanges are what, 2 or 3 points? I did all the moments.
But ya, not feeling it in 22. I liked the simplicity in 21 and straight forward approach in achieving goals to get a card or program done.

Anyone experience this? Was playing franchise and it was a rain game and then fps took a bad hit.
Overload on content
After playing a week of Madden
42 on all DD uniforms - nice move sds
Perfect Perfect is a scam
This game is absolutely boring and unrewarding right now.
First time in 6 years playing DD no interest in a program
Who's Yor-daddy???
No fun anymore?
TA Grind - A Tad bit too long IMO
GamePass 10 FREE Card Packs in Perks section
SDS Ruined Online Head-to-Head
Full Circle: Offline to Online and Back
You have to play this game in small doses
FOTF Devers > Monthly Devers
Another prime example of SDS excellence and class
Another prime example of SDS excellence and class
Custom logos STILL not staying, appearing, or saving
I'm sorry, but the new commentary
Not liking this PXP fixation in DD this year
Framerate drops in rain?
