I think most people just come on here to share their experiences to see if it is a widespread issue or what. If it is widespread you can just wait patiently for the fix, if it is isolated best to send in a bug report. Especially in the first couple weeks after release. I dont think it is crying. I am still waiting on 30K stubs from 3 hours after launch, and many others are waiting on a lot more. That is keeping from purchasing or selling any cards at the moment. I think that is a legit thing to be upset about.

I never said it was. The op said they are working on real money issues and that takes precedence over fake career mode.

Right but... You understand that ditching fundamental features in favour of microtransactions will be the death of gaming, right?

Additionally, what’s the difference between a “fake career mode” and a fictional sticker book team?

People play video games for fun. And if what you find fun is diamond dynasty that’s great... But to obliterate core game modes that are part of the identity of your franchise in favour of that is utterly ridiculous, particularly when the development costs that go towards developing it are negligible. I mean, I played a career continuously from 14’ to 18’. Almost all of the changes to RTTS were the same improvements to gameplay that were implemented across the rest of the modes.

Yes, SDS is a company, they absolutely have the right to try and seek to profit from their product as much as possible... Doesn’t mean those who buy the product shouldn’t be equally entitled to call them out on their decisions.

I'm frustrated too. They completely ruined RTTS! I had a PS4 and played MLB The Show since '14. I now play '21 on the Series X. This is the only year I really felt disappointed in how they handled this mode. I don't want to wait next year to enjoy this mode again. Everybody else feels the same way about RTTS right now. They need to provide a update and fix this. They really went the EA route and obselted their other game modes for Diamond Dynasty. Smh.

Yeah, it’s terrible. I’ve decided to go back to The Show 18 to see out my career there. I’m tempted to request a refund from Sony but I’m not sure how lenient they are. I probably played around 5 hours between setting up a Franchise and perfecting my new RTTS character so...

For the first three games I thought I’d got my wish, no challenges! Unfortunately they resurface after the initial being tried out as a two-way player thing runs it’s course. And I’d imagine those ridiculous boss battle things will follow suit.

I started my previous RTTS on TS14 and by ‘18 my player was a 16 year veteran, 12x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion and I’d played in thousands of games - obviously not at full length but nonetheless. It was the best sports game player career mode experience I’ve ever had. Honestly, the mode just feels like an arcade experience now. Which as I said before is totally fine, but we should be able to mould our experience in the options menus.

At this point I’m wondering if perhaps the devs should consider giving us the option to use our ballplayer in Franchise for a more simulation oriented experience. At any rate I’m beyond frustrated.

they are annoying and no you don't get bigger boosts

Agreed. The boss challenges and dynamic challenges are intrusive and annoying. I just want to play a full game without those screens popping up. I also don't like the pop up notifications you get while fielding.

Absolutely. If people enjoy using them and it suits how they play the game that’s fine. But we should be able to toggle them on or off. I personally have been playing a position career since 2014 and went back to 2018 after buying ‘19.

I don’t know if devs reply here or read forum posts but this has been a real deal breaker for me over the last two years as RTTS is the only mode I really use. I fully appreciate that the challenges implemented in the last two versions of the game are supposed to be fun and add a new dimension to RTTS gameplay, but I just want to play baseball when I’m not in the menus. I found it really jarring in The Show 19 that I’d be presented with a challenge which often had no relevance to the at bat situation and which I couldn’t skip. The boss battles in particular curtailed my interest in playing ‘19. I’ve made this point before and been shot down for it, being told that it helps people who start over every year to improve their attributes quickly and that’s fine. But the mode and the game as a whole is fantastic precisely because we have so many options for how to play. Quick counts, presentation style, RTTS specific settings for how much of the game you see while on base, the ability to watch, play-by-play or have the next user play occur instantly and the year by year import save feature, to mention just a few.

I’m all for fleshing out the off the field experience, that’s great. And if people enjoy the challenges that’s also great. But I really hope we’re given the option to switch them off if they don’t suit our play style.

I really hope they allow us to toggle dynamic challenges off this year. I haven’t bought the game since 2019 because of them and I’ve been playing my career since 2014 using yearly save import. Chose to finish the career on RTTS 18, but it’s showing it’s age.
