The main thing is its really a continuation of last years model:
I agree. When this year started, I thought... "OK. We're going to get the same basic overall model as 2025. So long as they beef up TA and fix the things that are broken, I'll be OK."
Well...
-
They didn't fix the things that were broken (I'm looking you square in the eye, mini season stats. BTW, I'm in the 20th game of my CityScapes 9-inning mini season, and my guys have all played 177 games. Are they moonlighting? I didn't put that in their contract).
-
They broke things that didn't need fixing (User interface/menus).
-
They keep making the online program worse. I do enjoy online play from time to time, but smooshing (?) together online modes into a single multiplayer last year wasn't a great decision IMO. Then, to limit Events to "part time" this year? Yuck.
I'm still playing, but my hours are down from last year. I used to play every night before bed. Now, I'm watching "Love is Blind - Paris" with my wife. God help me.

. So... about 1.3 million stubs. I'm focusing on other collections at this point, as those will be worth more to me than Tulo, Felix and Pujols (and Manny, Dustin, Nettles, etc.).
