Diamond Dynasty used to be a fairly good baseball simulation. It’s not my fault SDS took retrograde steps that have disillusioned both on and offline players. ‍️

You should take out the "Logic" from your name for the obvious reasons.

You should stop derailing threads with your unrelated nonsense.

Dude what nonsense?, I made a response to your silly post about how SDS should remove baseball from a baseball game and turn it into a card collecting game with baseball in the background.

Well, as an example, this thread is for discussing patch 1.12. It’s not a very deep patch, there’s really not much to discuss in all honesty. Yet much like every other thread, you have come in here spouting about online casuals, hot pockets, card collectors and all that guff. I really don’t care what your opinion of online or the people who play it is, but this isn’t the place. This is for discussion of 1.12 and the state of gameplay post patch.
I would also cordially suggest you don’t post in the Diamond Dynasty subforum, as this is for discussion of that mode, which you don’t play. As the entirety of that subforum is probably going to be within the hot pocket eating, card collecting demographic which you apparently despise, the only reason you’d post in there is to attempt to stir up the populace. It’s a tired act at this point, it was never all that amusing or original to begin with, but if that is how you wish to post, at least stay in general discussion or franchise threads, where you’re more likely to be on topic when posting about offline modes.

Franchise forum people are men and play the game properly and are actually good at the game so it would be boring to post there, you DD and online people fascinate me. Its like finding a planet of slightly less evolved living beings and analyzing them for scientific purposes, their behavioral patterns (rage qutting when they are losing) or what they consume (Hot Pockets and Red Bulls)....I have much more data to collect

That’s kind of how I feel about people who are stuck in the late eighties to early nineties, before online gaming was a thing and all you could do in a baseball game was play infinite meaningless seasons against the computer. Less evolved, a bit retro. It’s kinda cute, who doesn’t enjoy a bit of nostalgia from time to time?

Nope, has nothing to do with nostalgia, has everything to do with replicating RW results....the Simulation part of it is what I'm after. Its exactly how I play Formula 1 Sims....replicating the actual sport as close to as the game would allow. Online is for other thing like Poker, but the sole reason for playing a Baseball game shouldn't be for a pretend fantasy world where you use super hero powers and bring back the dead to play and grinding EXP likes its Final Fantasy. If I want to play a fantasy game like I'd play The Witcher or Skyrim, if I want to play a fantasy racing game I'd play Mario Kart of Need for Speed, if I want to play a fantasy baseball game I'd play Super Mega Baseball. If I want to play a simulation of baseball, it should be The Show...but it seems like its getting to be less and less of that.

If I did play a franchise I’d probably use custom rosters from the late 90s with my favourite “super heroes” like Griffey and Bonds anyway. Just because you’re using accurate current day rosters with full minor leagues and I’m using a 1998 roster of legends or whatever, we’re still seeking the same standard of accurate, realistic baseball simulation gameplay. If you’ll allow me to expand upon that even further, as an online player, I’m expecting and hoping SDS can deliver the same experience that you achieve offline when playing with custom sliders. It’s not a case of picking sides and drawing a line between someone who plays online and offline. We’re not in opposition here, no matter how many times you try to set the debate up as an online vs offline player face off, or casuals vs whatever you deem yourself to be.
We’re all entitled to a solid baseball experience in all modes and SDS have not delivered that. The gameplay online this year has been the worst I’ve experienced and I played a lot of ‘18. That has no relevance on fantasy cards vs accurate current day rosters and custom sliders. No matter if I’m using LS Albert Pujols offline or a juiced flashback Pujols online in H2H I expect the same quality of gameplay. The name tag and the pixels on screen representing a player who may be dead some forty years or more, or representing a current day player such as Manny Machado should in no way dictate the quality of my experience.

Here is the problem and is always going to be the problem with you casual players even if you play offline Franchise casually. You guys don't get it, you aren't baseball fans or haven't played baseball since you could practically walk...you're just video game players that kinda watch baseball on a casual basis or when your team is in the playoffs like a bandwagon fan. I like baseball, I'm a baseball fan...I play baseball casually in real life and when it comes to playing it as a video game I want it to match what I see and do. Most of you DD players and online players play it as a video game..that's cool...but it shouldn't be just that......SDS has the license for MLB so don't make it just for casual kids make it for baseball fans too.

I’m from England. I played with my friends when I was a kid, but I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to play competitively because the game doesn’t exist at that level in this country.

I class myself as a baseball fan, I think you’re attempting to be deliberately antagonistic again with this statement, but again, you’re entitled to your opinion, no matter how ridiculous I might personally feel it is, or how bad it makes you look when you state it in such an ignorant manner. I’m also a Red Sox fan since ‘97, when they hadn’t won anything for quite a while, so again, you’re just spouting nonsense about things you really know nothing about.

In no way did you come close to addressing the statement I made which was, in short, that as an online DD player, I’m entitled to the same quality of gameplay as an offline franchise player. SDS do not provide this and as result, they’ve failed in their endeavours to create a good baseball game. All the name calling, deflection and dragging threads off topic in the world won’t change that.

I, and many others have already blocked joshjays44 since the forum moderator does not attempt to deal with this obvious trolling. The only time this repetitive, unfunny and off topic nonsense pollutes my threads is when people quote his/her/its posts in responses. Please just block it rather than replying.

You ever wonder if it’s just someone at SDS trolling in their free time?

Yes, but it's a fairly fruitless line of inquiry. Would be hard to determine, and if you did "catch" it what would you do with the information? Try to shame them online? Pointless.

I posted about this possibility a couple weeks ago, and if true it would be very disappointing and unprofessional. No matter how needy users are, no matter how irrational, and no matter how poorly they understand how software gets made and released - they are still the customers. They (we) pay for all of this.

There are a couple accounts that play no games according to their profile (or only a few here or there) but post consistently and always about the same things. Namely, trolling and demeaning the userbase in a very specific way, including repeatedly asserting how wonderful the game is in contradiction to the obvious, objectively verifiable game play bugs. Its hard to imagine a troll having such a narrow focus and investing this much time in service of what appears to be a grievance about unappreciative users.
