@sbchamps17_NSW Make some sense but not recording my progress a not showing anything in the progress tab make no sense. I thought SDS had fixed server issues a long time ago.

I’m asking this because one thing every screen has been running slow, plus the progress tab after a game doesn’t show anything. And when I got to the sections I’m working on, doesn’t look like anything I have done is getting recorded.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I was at 20 before I did the two moments. It didn’t move after each one was complete.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN It’s the first two. Yes that was the first thing I did was reset the game. Didn’t do anything.

Been away from the game for months and this week I got the opportunity to play. Working on the programs and the moments in Season 3 drop 1 doesn’t give me credit for completing it. Before I started doing the moments I had 20 XP, and just finished two of the moments and I am still at 20. Does anyone know what the deal is? Is this a glitch that I need to report?

@samguenther1987_PSN I quit a month and a half ago. I come to the forum from time to time to see what is going on. I can't lie, but I really miss playing the game. But with all the [censored] this year, there is no way I am coming back. I have tried to play Franchise and it is so close to that past few years, I can't enjoy it either. And RTTS, well is so disappointing. SDS is quickly losing customers, and I really question if they can fix the mess they have cause in the coming years. Very, very sad.

I only play offline and right now with no fix to the CPU throwing 95% balls, I am playing less. This has to be a record, for the fasted I am close to giving up on DD. Opening day hasn't started yet and DD might be a filler for when I am bored. Might head over to RTTS till rosters are updated and then move to Franchise. My prefer mode, but with very little update there, I’m not running to it. With the flash screens, poor font choices, and all the other little things, this might be the worst first two plus weeks with the game ever for me. And to be honest, the gameplay (grind in DD), burnt me out years ago, so I really think SDS has to stop with the same thing every year with very little big additions. And don't tell me Story Line is an addition. It is just moments organized. Ok, my vent is over, at least for today.

Good I am not the only one that thought offline pitching had issue. Mini Seasons is a grind, fun at times, but only when you are not just walking all the time. I had five walks in a row, and won the game 1-0. And to top it off I only had one hit in the hole game. The patients thing is weird, becuase you are wating for somekind of good pitch to swing at, but after so many bad pitches, when the good one comes, I have fallen asleep at the plate. Every pitch should have me on the edge of where is might go. Pease fix this SDS. I only play offline.

I have watched some of the Twitch live streams and haven't gotten any of the packs. All my stuff is linked. Can someone look in to this? Thanks.

Worked thanks.

Is anyone else getting the message “You don’t have enough eligible players for this challenge “?

I’m start a new season and I am getting that message. Just loading the team like any other time. I hope this is on my end and not another roster issue.

Sorry one test isn't enough to grind out the 25 games I lost already. I want confirmation from the source, they owe it to the game and use but don't expect them to cater to use. The game is excellent, but when this happens, it is big, especially when you only play offline. If you play online mostly, this means nothing I would imagine. Since this has happened I have been toying around with Franchise mode to maybe get a season going. Still tinkering with the setting to make it more realistic. But still would like to fit in DD for the fun it sometimes brings. SDS is now in control of which mode I will play more of.

They should shut down the mode till it's fixed.

Was on game 25 today and it happen. I keep checking it, and hoping it will work, nope. SDS doing its thing to frustrate us more. Almost time to switch to Franchise mode.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Is mini seasons ever going to be fixed??:

@TRunner4_PSN @ebbets1957_XBL even though the mode in mind-numbingly boring; you can still play 9 inning Play vs CPU. Easy way to PXP players; especially pitchers. And MTO; which gets you progress in TA.

True. Something I have considered. But still is frustrating.

I just got 25 games into TA and the bug hit. So frustrating if I have to restart. I like to play the games but the hours that go into something like this is not something I am at all looking forward to. there is a chance that I just move on from DD sooner than I have in past years. I don't play online games because of the little league (Bad News Bears) that is played. I really don't know why Showdown has to be so difficult and able to give me a heart attack every time I go to play it. So that leave, Conquest and Mini Season. Now just Conquest, which is all complete, and just repeating the Jazz one over and over to get a few packs.

I just got the message on game 25. Seems that is a magic number. I am not looking forward to restarting if that is what I must do. Things like this make me quit DD for the year and move on to Franchise and RTTS. You grind your A@# off and just what to do what the game is designed to do and this happens. I hope they can fix this and I don't have to play 25 games to get the TA vouchers. Is there anyone that has gotten through TA Mini seasons and got the vouchers?

If they know this is happening, why are they not deactivating the mode and sending a message out? It would still be frustrating but at least you won't have to grind and not get to the reason for the grind.

I have avoided Showdowns since the first year they introduced it. It's not fun, more frustrating, and can get my blood boiling. Plus I lose 500 stubs faster than going to a casino and betting on black. This mode makes no sense if most people (other than those incredibly great players or influencers) don't enjoy it. I only play offline, online is like playing a Bad News Bears game, not a baseball game. And since I believe last year when they added the big boss games and nothing in between, made it worse. Every year I give it a try, hoping it got more playable and fun, but nope. Now I rather grind out TA games to get team XP instead of taking on any of the Showdowns. At least I enjoy that time and win a good amount of times. Plus I gain stubs and not lose them on the entry fee. Which is also stupid. Actually, in past years I remember being so frustrated with the mode that I stopped playing DD and started a Franchise and RTTS. Not sure what they are thinking when making a mode that frustrates and makes you want to throw your controller at the monitor or TV. I bet that is the least played mode in DD.

So on the app, I go to inventory, filter, Not Owned, set the team, and set to Live series. The app says I need one diamond to complete the set. Well, I go to the game and I actually need 6 cards. I am doing nothing else to the filters. This is showing for many teams that the two numbers don't match. The first time I saw this was yesterday, didn't think much about it but today I was hoping to complete some teams and the App and game don't match. Does anyone have the same issue or know why this is happening?

Well, I was grinding programs for a few hours today. Started getting bored, so and turned it off. And I got to thinking of the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. That is what DD has now become. What I did for the two+ hours was the same thing, and didn't feel any better than when I started. Kind of felt worse. Time to shut it down again. And put the PS4 in the closet again. I really thought I could stick it out. But sure all the goals are different but in a sense the same, hit one HR, strike out 5 players, 4 TB is not what I call fun when you are doing those hundreds of times, restarts from time to time.

To be honest, SDS needs to bring some kind of story and further creativity to all the areas of the game. I know many love it, and I have loved it for many years too, but for some reason, it's not fun anymore.

Like others, 23 has to wow me, and that SDS got the message we want changes. And fix everything we keep bringing up. No more money from me if there is no change to the game.
