Yeah, I paid $100 bucks for this game that apparently I need to pay hundreds of more dollar to be able to use the content. Dang I used to really love this game. But I am not this stupid. I'm not buying any of these packs. And I'm hoping another baseball game comes out next year.

I agree with you. But I don't expect SDS to change seasons. They seem committed to it. For those who are just grinding for TA, whether ranked or offline, an easier to achieve win is to make those wild cards worth something. No point using them for grinding when they don't count, so it's an offered fun feature that just doesn't work. Make that work and it's a win-win. But agree, it doesn't solve everything.

The pitching multiple innings moments may be easy for some, but the real annoying bit is how long it takes versus the reward. You put in 15 minutes to move a few pips up the chain. Really makes you feel the grind, which isn't great. Other then these, I don't mind moments. I actually like "re-living" these accomplishments.

This is reassuring. I thought it was just me. I rarely ever walked in 23. I swing at almost everything. And I'm walking several times a game now. Poor Griffey has been hit by pitches 7 times already. And I've hit a few home runs, but everything feels much weaker. With all the walks and deadball stuff, hitting just isn't very fun. Big problem for a baseball game.

@virusts_XBL I don't use the negro league cards exactly for this reason. They slow down an already slow grind. Same reason I don't use wild cards.

@YOSHI24_XBL I'm just about done TA, so it's not that it's difficult to do. I don't think anyone is suggesting that it is. What I am suggesting is, as a minor change that doesn't fix every issue, it would be more "fun" to use cards from the previous season and have them count for things like TA or season award drop missions. Right now they don't. If I want to use Jimmy Rollins because it lets me enjoy the game, how much more fun if he's not taking up the slot of someone who could be grinding me points. As it is, its better to not use wild cards and I'm not sure that's what SDS intended.

I expect it will be coming soon. Would bank on it.

When TA2 comes out, will TA1 rewards disappear. I haven't finished those yet. Is the clock really ticking here to get it done?

Folks can argue if it's a bug or not, but please note SDS already posted in this thread: We are aware that the CPU is throwing too many balls in Diamond Dynasty and are currently investigating the issue.

@fubar2k7 I know it's a completely different type of baseball game, but I do like OOTP on the PC. Even they have some microtransaction stuff now.

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN I think so too. Or at least just not completely thought through. Fixing the wild card issue would allow any boss to function like a core, so it's at least a step in the right direction.

I see a lot of complaints about not getting to use cards earned from the previous season. Also see gripes about being forced to use cards you don't like to earn TA points to unlock new cards. One likely easy solution is to allow wild cards to count toward TA.

Use those few cards you like and have fun with the grind. Instead of making it feel like work. We don't get that many wild cards, so this wouldn't be game-breaking. It would be a huge "w" that this game really needs.
