    Guess we'll know soon enough....
    I'm sure they will have a ton of flashbacks and old cards still

      Yeah that was my favorite part of DD last cycle. All those sweet retro Topps cards.

        I’d like a post season mode .. where your DD team plays a best of 5,7,7 game series and if you win it all you get a card : make the difficulties like when you play against the cpu in extra innings .

          I love DD mode but if the servers are not fixed, this is a deal breaker for me.

            Servers. Yes. You reminded me how bad they were last few years. Actually every year. I’m sure it’ll be no different at launch.

            I wish you could use your dd team in season mode.

                even more with the fact that they have added some retro teams this year i.e. the 70’s team and 80’s teams , which could be used as teams you’d have to face . Just a idea but I think it could work .

                  If the attributes for CAPs can go up to 125, I hope someone in the community will make another updated ratings calculator. Last year’s was great and I used it a ton, but I would have zero idea on how to even start to make one. A new one would be greatly appreciated if this is indeed the case.

                    I got enough "Lost Connection to the Server" messages last year and lost enough progress in DD missions and programs that I ended up quitting the mode for the year. And these were actually games vs CPU.


                    It could be a deal breaker for me again this year if it is not resolved.

                      Same here. vs cpu games. It ALWAYS happens first week too. I don't expect any different. It sucks but their servers have always had problems. Maybe best time to start DD is like July.

                        Yes, I won't give up too quickly but if it happens in the first few weeks it will probably cause me to cut back on my playing time during that span. When I jumped back into DD in like November or December and received that error again, even though server traffic should have been much lower, that was the end of it for me.

                          I like the fact that you can now complete all of DD using only single player mode.

                          I like the suggestion about CPU seasons which would require the player to manage the rotation and bullpen and have injuries have effect beyond the game they are hurt in. That would add an additional level of strategy to CPU play.

                          I also would prefer more different historic and legend players instead of having 4 or 5 cards for a single flashback or legend. They could mix it up by adding more different flashbacks who were good players, but not superstars.

                            Did they say the limit increased from 102 which very seldom was seen?
