[2022] Team games removed from main show.

This saddens me. Varirety is going to take a huge hit now and I'll miss Fall Ball dearly. I understand so many beans disliked team games but they were the great equalizers for killing good players and giving casuals a better chance.

I hope they up the chances for them in Squads since that's the only place they can be found now!

For what it's worth, here's my vibe check: I love team games, and I don't really get to play them any more. I have to get to top 3 or top 2 in Squads mode to have a chance of seeing one. What stops that from happening?

• Going to a four-squad Hex final where ~16 people all run around like crazy for a minute trying to get lucky
• Needing to have a full squad make it to top 3 or top 2, which is pretty rare when I play on PS with other PS players, since one of us crashes roughly every other episode
• The introduction of hunt rounds, while an overall positive, makes the team rounds even less likely to show up by giving another option for the levels where they would be
• Team-oriented special shows are incredibly rare. Squad Celebration shows up maybe once a month. Duos Festival was great, but it's happened only one time ever. There hasn't been a real, honest Fall Ball Cup since Season 5; Golden Goal is nice, but not really the same. Can't remember the last time the Basketfall special show was around.
• On top of all of this, when you eventually do get a team game, sometimes it's shit, like Pegwin Pursuit or Power Trip

But I guess the biggest reason I haven't seen a team game in a while is that I've gone from playing 4-5 hours a night to logging in once every couple of days at most. Constant crashes and Season 6 fatigue have really destroyed my love for the game, and no amount of candy thievery is going to fix it.

This is just one bean's story, but I know it's not a unique one. You absolutely have to fix the constant crashes for Playstation players. They started around when you introduced the social panel and they're still happening to this day. What's the point of trying hard if you feel like you're not going to make it through a whole episode without crashing? The other night a player I know tried to return to the game to celebrate someone getting Gold Knight, and they literally crashed every episode for six straight attempts before giving up in disgust.

I cannot overstate how much apathy and disappointment I hear every night in the competitive Playstation community. If you want any chance of these beans coming back to play again, please get this fixed.
