    @dkarski87 that's interesting that the people who have complete control over the culture and morale of it's users would call the community "toxic and negative"? Gee, wonder why...

    Also, I absolutely cannot wait to kick off my remote interview with: "First and foremost, I would like to begin with concerns from my trusted and respected forum peers, @Looseballsack and @Taknadump111"

    It's a waste of time @JEDDDOGGY but definitely take the money lol. So many people have quit the game this year like never before. They even lost both moderators and still fail to listen to any feedback. The has been a sinking ship for months and nobody at GLU seems to care. They listen to feedback but do nothing about it. I've said it many times, hands down the worst TSB version I have ever participated in. Best thing for everyone to do is finish out the current version and then part ways with the game. Its only going to get worse next year, with the new people running the game they simply don't care about anything. They complain that "the community is so toxic and negative" Here's a simple suggestion, try doing something that benefits your users instead of constantly fuking them up the ass. Maybe then you would see a turn around in the game,  the way it is now....People just aren't engaged anymore, the game is dead.

    That’s interesting that you say that they complain about the community. This means they are, in a way, trying to keep this game alive, and not abandoning it for a new mlb game. Which means they really sucks and this game is doomed.

    I disagree. The fact the are complaining about the user community and saying they are overly negative says they aren’t listening to them. The changes being made are showing they are punishing the users for that negativity. A company exists to provide good and services for its customers. If they can’t provide that, the customer goes elsewhere. If they keep making changes that hurt the customers and complaining the customers are negative, they are no longer trying to entice the customers nor retain them. If they wanted to keep the users, they would start making changes in our favor. 

    As much as we complain about this game in past years, there were always changes made to keep us around. Increased odds, better prizes, more events, etc. They would do something to entice. So far this year, not a single change made in the customers favor to entice them.

    This Forum has been abandoned and the game is being run into the ground. So many loyal and SPENDING customers are being given a daily FU. I guess their new business strategy is to kill this forum and kill the game. And to discourage spending by me, at least. Successful on all counts. Hey Blue, Alex…..are y’all banned from this forum? Or on an EA all expense paid vacation? Not even a post card? 
    Alex quit a week ago. That’s how bad this game is.
    If Alex quit then things must have gotten real bad with the game. Next you're probably gonna tell me that @dkarski87 gone legit too?

    No ones talking, as usual. From “activity”, looks like Blue was gone for 2 weeks, while Alex has been on daily. But crickets…….probably too busy enjoying this outstanding pile of garbage
    Just a Silver team from the wrong side of the tracks, so what do I know? 🤷

    Alex quit, @jalapenocubbies quit. I left the VIP council chat a few weeks ago as well. They have totally ruined the game to the point where most long-time users aren't even opening the app anymore. The chat is total joke, its not like years past where you actually had developers in there that listened and acted on feedback to actually try and make the game better. Now all you have is @blueleopard who checks in maybe 1-2 times a week and gives his bosses a "report" which just gets ignored week in and week out.  I've never seen so many quit as quickly as they have this year with TSB22. EA or whoever is calling the shots have totally destroyed this game. Its actually a good thing IMO, so many have finally broken the habit and moved on. They complain about how toxic and negative the the community groups are, well its not rocket science folks. Why don't you try and improve the user experience so that everyone wouldn't be so negative? I mean its common sense, the entire make up and feel of TSB22 has been a shit-show from BETA. and nothing was done about it to try and fix the user experience for the community. They just made it worse every single week. Hands down, the worst TSB version that has ever been released. Is this just my opinion? Sure

    It's not just you, I've personally only been playing since 19 and THIS is the worst and 99.9% I won't be around to see just how much more worse they make it when and IF 23 comes out 🤮👎

Sure, but I bet if you polled the game, you idiots would really get an eye opening experience about how bad this game really has become. Congrats on destroying what was once a pretty neat game.
    When our customers are complaining here and our nps scores go down, we always say that it’s their fault and they are too negative instead of improving things on our side

    I just got off my zoom meeting with the EA Research Team. I'll try to find time to post a recap at some point later tonight or this weekend.

    Cool, did you by chance bring my name up and let them know how much I "Love" this game so maybe they can float me some PXP to lvl up the 3 prime players I got today! 🤜🤛👍

    Curious how this went. My guess is, as has been the MO for years, they will listen to our advice and recommendations, then find a way to monetize the hell out of it and push players away. But hell you got a gift card out of it so it’s a good deal for you.

    hope you suggested more boxes and more sets, this game would benefit from it

    @jalapenocubbies They're gonna send me a $100 gift card for participation. Plus, I'm not aiming to make change as I realize fully well that those efforts would be futile. I do have a couple things I want to say though. They can pay me $100 and they're gonna get my feedback. Don't care what they do with their notes from the meeting. They can crumple them up into a little tiny ball and then... anyway, should be a good time.

    I gotta ask… where was the $100 gift card for?   (Please say Wendys, please say Wendys)

    I could be confused but I pretty sure it sends you to a website where you can pick from a list of places. When I got mine in the past I picked Amazon.

    I love checking in to make sure I continue to have no desire to play. I heard about the sweet update they just had.

    You've made a wise choice my friend! Stay Strong 💪

    There is zero chance I would ever come back and play the way this is setup. There isn’t enough gold to be had unless you’re a damn millionaire. There is no way anyone can look at what they produced this year and say it’s acceptable. Look how many long tome players have quit. I mean I guess congrats for keeping the top few clubs in tact spending everyday but I don’t see that as a successful business model. This isn’t even mentioning the fact every time they update something new breaks but they never fixed the original problem anyway.

    not really, they knowingly rode it into the ground so when they introduce a completely redesigned game next year on their own engine they won't have to deal with the longterm gamers.  

    the devs that walked away are looking on begrudgingly at the bastardized version of their laborous efforts with a shitty payday.  in a few short years they turned a 100k grossing game into a $5 million grossing juggernaut and it was sold out from under them in the $2 billion acquisition and they barely got a handy...

    I guess I just totally forgot about recapping my zoom meeting with EA's research team. Anyway... by now its just bullet points since I've slept since then. 
    • Most of the questions they asked were about gameplay and game modes
    • There really were not a lot of questions about how/when/if I spend money on the game
    • One of my main points throughout was that the game is unrealistically expensive 
    • Don't see TSB going away anytime soon as they're invested enough in it to do this research
    • They did ask some questions about going from D6 cycles to Champ Tiers 
    • There was some focus/couple questions on how I build my team
    • Asked if I had tried competing games like 9 Innings and what I liked/disliked about it
    • When they asked about Rally I said that I don't know anyone that plays it
    • I was pretty adamant to them that they should just have primes and legends year 'round
    • Evolution of the game from when I started playing up to now was of interest to them
    • Pointed out that top WOH tier used to have an amazing reward (and thus was more challenging)
    • One thing I was adamant about was having a manually played 5 inning game head-to-head event

    Like I say, there was probably a lot more, but those are the main things.

    Also, I have an update pending. Been putting it off, but saw some comments in global about captcha. Did they add that back? If so, UGH, lol.

    Greetings all! It’s been since April since I’ve deleted the last 3 seasons of TSB and I can honestly say that I don’t miss it( ok maybe a little when I’m really bored). I’m kinda shocked to hear that Alex quit but it sounds like anybody that has quit this game is definitely making the right decision. TSB used to be a great game and the forum was a great place to hang out and socialize. Jedd glad to see that you got $100 of your money back! Doc, since you’re not with the hot wife there’s definitely no shame in posting the pics now.
