This is largely a younger gamer versus older gamer divide that is pointless to discuss ad infinitum.

I’m approaching 50 and the first three decades of gaming were exclusively offline for me. And in those days I absolutely would have played online most of the time if it was an option.

At my age today, I play online more because I have to and not because it is enjoyable. Even when I beat them, it is not fun to play against young, immature, win at all cost opponents. But playing repetitive offline games isn’t necessarily fun either—so it is a weird spot to be in because I don’t want to retire from gaming yet

I have been waiting for a card with top notch durability. I’m tired of my SS getting injured mid-game and always having to substitute.

As someone that has been saving for the last two weeks to get Trout and was pacing to get him today, the moving of the goal posts was unfortunate. Between this and the fact that my game crashes to the dashboard every 3-4 games, I am trending to give up the grind early this year. Last year was my first one playing and I really enjoyed it, but this year’s game feels more similar to the Madden and NBA 2K [censored] that I happily quit. Such is the state of gaming and other than this post, I am not going to complain or waste inordinate amounts of time playing anymore (not that anyone cares).

You’ll get nothing and you will like it, Sir! What right do you have to expect additional compensation for issues that are already included for no extra cost with your game purchase?

This game crashes to the dashboard more than any game that I have EVER played on the Xbox—dating back more than two decades. I don’t recall any instances where this happened with last year’s game.

If fixes don’t come in the next month, this is going to be my quickest full abandonment of a sports game. I have already gone back to Madden because it is a better experience. And that is really a sad statement.

There are so many good options for RF. For whatever reason, I hit best with Walker and Acuna. Vlad and Harper aren’t far behind. I suck with Betts and Bellinger and am inconsistent with Yelich.

Im order 1889. It will be fun using him in June.

Of 2023?

Absorbing 45 beat downs in a few weeks time sounds fun and rewarding to me

It hasn’t killed NMS and neither has Madden. Madden just feels less rewarding for the grind and that appears to be the direction here, too, though it is too early to be sure.

In Madden, solo grinding no longer gets you cards that you can sell nor use in your lineups. That isn’t true for this game, yet.

Between this glitch and the Conquest one on switch, there isn’t much to do for an offline gamer to do right now.

I got locked in an infinite loop on the first batter up conquest because it didn’t give reinforcements. I then didn’t get any reinforcements the first time I won a game and stole fans in the big USA / NA map and stopped there earlier today.

This evening I went back in and am now getting reinforcements in every map except for the first one that is still stuck in a loop.

Mantle and gold Castellanos have been great for me.

From a gameplay perspective, I agree with you. I only have a Switch Lite (bought this week in order to play MLB when away from my Xbox) and like it a lot except for the glitches that I am experiencing.

No purchase regrets if SDS puts attention to fixing Switch-specific issues this year.

I played my first mini-season and had to go through the two god squads in the playoffs and barely won.

So the second season I admit that I tried to tank certain games to make sure both were eliminated from the playoffs. Lo and behold, even though the Whales were in 6th place and 3 games back in the standings from 4th place heading into their last two games—somehow they didn’t just end up in the playoffs—but finished 3rd and will match up (and likely beat my inferior squad) in the first round.

How can that happen??

I hit really well with Brett’s card last year and he was actually my favorite player back in 1980 as a young baseball fan. I should be close to having enough cards, but have held off on getting Ruth (need Delgado or Maddux) until the requirements are known.

I may make some bad decisions today to get Brett right away

Got Chapman, which is the main card that I wanted. Will get Wood to P5 and finish the rest by PxP sometime in 2023.
