Forget stadiums, how about maybe some consistent hitting, some kind of fielding that isn't horrible and pitching where user input matters!
@SDS, can we please get offline dd modes? The only offline mode so far is still Conquest! Showdown is great but it's not MY DD team. Moments are fun as well but again, not my DD team. What are the incentives for offline players to get good cards if the only thing we can do with them is keep playing conquest over and over again?
An offline events would be great! Or a March to October type mode with our DD team playing 3 inning games against the CPU. The you can have rewards for difficulty, standings, and stats.
If you are not going to allow players to quick sell or exchange collected players, then you need to make the collection rewards better!!!
I personally feel ripped off with this decision! I have 2 young children and don't get to play very often. The only thing that helped me keep up last year was that I could user collected cards for a number of collection requirements and then quick sell or exchange when I was finished.
You just keep finding ways to try and make people purchase stubs! Especially with the virus going around now and people getting laid off and not having cash, you think you would tone down the greed a little bit!
The game was best when released on the 13th, day one. At least for hitting and fielding. Pitching hasn't changed from previous years and is still really bad with minimal user input.
I have watched a lot of the players league games and i have not watched one game that didn't have extremely bad fielding.
There are constant messages in the chat from fans watching saying how bad the fielding is and you can see on the players faces that they are trying really hard not to say anything bad about the game!
SDS better get a patch out soon as there are a lot of people watching those matches and it is not good for business!!!

I understand their goal is to make money and for those that like to spend money on content, good on you. But I like everyone else paid for the actual game (not content) and expect a certain level of game play. I am glad that there is good content out there but they need to fix the game play as well. There are still issues with timing and user input in pitching as well as many others from looking on these forums. It almost seems like pure stubbornness that they are refusing to admit that their game has issues. It took the players league and pro players bad mouthing fielding for anything to get done! It's too bad as I really like the game and have bought it every year since 07. And since DD came to be, the focus on game play has been less and less and the amount of bugs/issues has been more and more! They have been promising more offline content, and there was a bit of that this year, but it didn't included our DD teams! I preorder the Digital Deluxe edition every year with the hopes of more offline DD modes, yet the only thing I can do with my DD team is conquest or play vs cpu, which they are reducing the xp to in this new patch!!! So no more Digital Deluxe Preorder for me next year. I will just pick it up used 1 month after release and save myself the heartache. Is anyone here happy...like, ever? I think I’m general we all have a love for baseball and being able to play something like diamond dynasty is nice. But it’s extremet frustrating to see how fast they can fix them losing money but not gameplay

Yes my point exactly. It's really a big f-you to the user base! I am all for fixing exploits but what about fixing the broken game people paid their hard-earned money for!
From what I have seen of SDS over the years I think they are getting a bit arrogant about their game! I think at this point they will not fix it as to them it would mean admitting they messed something up! In all honesty, if it wasn't for the players league and pro players screaming that fielding is broken, I don't think fielding would have gotten any patches either!
Maybe it's just me but I think the messed with hitting timing again! I consistently play on HOF and somehow I can't square anything up on "Veteran".
Agree completely. Also, why are all the program missions online? Not fair to the offline players.
@Rambo_11k said in Don’t bother wasting money on the game:
You forgot to mention the game controlling your pitch location too.
Pitching is by far the worst since I started playing the game in 09.
I consistently hit my pitching markers and keep throwing meatballs. It's complete bs!

It wouldn't be if they had some more offline modes for DD! Why not offline events against other DD teams that are CPU controlled?
Or a March to October type of mode where I can play my DD team against other (CPU controlled) DD teams. Rewards can be based on difficulty, standings/outcome based as well as stat based.
Took a while. Not the best moment. Power swing early.
@ch-76-1908_psn said in Why this game is an absolute joke:
Analyzing PCI feedback etc will only make u nuts and stop u from getting better.
That is the part I don't get? Why even have the PCI and swing feedback if it isn't relevant and doesn't matter! It just gets people pissed off! Either make it matter like in the Pro Yakyuu Japanese game or get rid of it.
I for one am sick of making contact with the ball as the bat head is exactly parallel with the front of home plate only to have the ball be pulled foul by 200 feet! It's like physics doesn't exist in this game!
Does anyone know what the market does around this time with the All-Star break?
Live series have dropped a lot. Is that because the recent stubs sale? Should I buy now or will they stay this low now?
Love the game and doing missions! I just wish there was an offline event-based tournament like ranked seasons!
Should be a 50 pack bundle!
It's too late! They are already working on MLB 22 The Show with more packs that give you more commons and that will be available on Nintendo, iOS, Android and PC!!!
It is all fielding this year! The fielding animations are great this year but I am sick and tired of common and bronze players making Trout type catches!!! WTF is the point of the fielding attributes then! Not only do they make these catches but they make them way too frequently and consistently. I watch MLB games daily and not even the greats make those types of catches consistently!
Besides the useless hitting feedback this year this is my only other gripe with the game!
@SDS how hard would it be to have the proper stats for people's CAP in DD? My ballplayer has 95 fielding, 93 Arm and 94 Reaction, yet his fielding icon is Gold? Why?
It would amazing if we could get a proper card for our created player that was the correct colour based on their overall attributes and that showed the total stats with all the perks and equipment. Maybe even using a the custom pose from the Ballplayer screen.
How hard would that be to do in an update? I would be even happy to spend stubs in the show shop on different baseball card types for my CAP that had all this data displayed accurately.
Does anyone know how to make the changes I make to my players equipment actually last? Every time I make a change it reverts back to default!
How do you hit a foul ball on a perfect-perfect and in the center of the green? And no it was not a ball inside!
I love the game and overall I think hitting is great this year but the feedback is really annoying. How is anyone supposed to get better at the game when the feedback is wrong 95% of the time.
I understand the PCI is not the bat head (even though it should be!), but is there something i am not understanding about the timing feedback?
I have even hit inside pitche that I was early on to center. How the hell does that happen? Does physics not apply to this game?
To me it's the most frustrating part of the game! When I play on higher levels I can't rely on the timing feedback to help me improve my approach!
