So I am honestly curious why you all play Franchise mode instead of Diamond Dynasty?
I realize there are some common answers like DD is somewhat pay to play, you don’t like multiplayer, or you like simming - - so try and keep your answer off those obvious ones if possible.
I am old enough that franchise modes used to be the pinnacle of a sports game, then multiplayer took over, and now its ultimate team….I am curious because i have never spent a dime on microtransactions ever for any game and thoroughly enjoyed the diamond dynasty mode on every game i tried it…fifa, 2k and the show are all pretty good totally free to play. I do confess to coin/stub grinding on certain years for trophies - - i have platinums on the show 17, 21 and 23 - 2k16 and 20 - and one each on madden and fifa
Having had to dabble in modern franchise modes for trophies i have wondered what i am missing by not getting into it more
Enlighten me…
I play franchise to simulate real life. Never been into card collecting modes because I've never seen the point. There's always some new card or pack drop that makes your roster irrelevant unless you have it and I'm not a fan of incredibly overpowered cards being basically required, therefore forcing you to grind endless hours or spend real money after you've already dropped $70 on a game
The DD grind is horrific. It is a waste of time and mentally overwhelming. The in game card collection is just stupid IMO and nothing in this game is fresh.
