Proud to say I've never touched DD.

I was that way until just a month or so ago... Personally, I really enjoy DD now... Between Franchise and DD will definitely be playing 23 until 24 comes out.

Your loss. Despite what most people on OS seem to think, DD is actually a quality mode with a lot of content and variety and is not predatory in the slightest, unlike the other yearly sports titles.

I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about "sets" being a thing but as a strictly offline, part time DD player, I feel like I'm not going to be too affected by it. The Captains feature seems cool though as a guy that is mostly motivated by building theme teams.

I don’t have an issue with DD or RTTS, players or the modes but I do have an issue in the fact that 90% of the attention, resources and creativity is devoted to those two modes, as well as competitive gameplay. As a franchise player, I don’t expect all the bells and whistles but it appears all SDS is willing to do is tuning updates and refresh the UI in franchise mode. How many promos does DD and RTTS get by the time the game comes out. Franchise gets one feature premier of about 20 minutes and no updates during the season. S D.S may not be as predatory as EA but their marketing and strategy are exactly the same.

It's a business. Like it or not, that's where the majority of people are spending their time on this game. So even if I don't like it being a franchise guy, I totally get it.

I really use to like DD back before it became a card collecting game. Back when you could make and develop your own team. I feel that it really went downhill after they went to the card pack style team. I got so tired of getting matched with straight 99 teams that were obviously pay to win guys that I just quit playing it. I even gave up my play station plus account for online features all together.

There's also an exaggeration of how many resources go to DD, usually from - you guessed it - people who don't go into the mode. Common sense would tell us that there isn't some herculean amount of effort involved that goes into JPGs of an old baseball card and their (I assume automated at this point) assigning of attributes.

But it is what it is. People need a scapegoat for why (thing they want) isn't in the game, and DD is right there for the blame. I would imagine the Negro League additions will start to be grouped in there sometime soon too.
