Re: What’s The Beef With Diamond Dynasty?
They do....and there is a reason for that.
There's no mode-specific AI for DD. You can change all sorts of stuff within the mode and not impact anything (ironically, this actually rarely happens for DD other than 'content' drops). Franchise mode, one small tweak could completely imbalance the mode - thus requiring a slew of regression testing and efforts to do it "the right way". We've seen franchise modes that try to approach it with a "gaming as a service" model (cough...Madden...cough) fall on their collective butts trying to make that work.
As for gameplay issues being addressed more quickly, that's actually a questionable "impression" by the community. There were slews of issues that were never resolved with '21 (freezes, glitches) that had zero impact on offline players.
On the flip side, I do think they have been rolling-out more online-centric gameplay adjustments for new releases without really factoring-in offline players...I think I raised that point before, and that, if anything, might be my biggest concern as to how online H2H is adversely impacting the offline community.
