Doesn’t pretty much every Dragonball game just present a rehash of the battles from the anime/manga?
I don’t get how this is much different from say Kakarot or Xenoverse 2.

My thoughts exactly. As a lifelong fan of the various shows except for Garbage Time, I'm craving for brand new stories set in the past, future, or another universe (maybe universe 6?). I don't get how they keep releasing games after game of the same story content.

It's a fighting game. Most people are buying it to play against other people. It's more about the game mechanics than the story.

"The Digital Deluxe Edition which includes ... the Season Pass, which contains more than 20 characters" That will always stun me how they genuinely tell ppl they have to pay 70 bucks for a game that probably will have almost half of the characters missing at launch, in other words for a free-to-play. I know all the games are like that now, especially fighting games, but it's nuts how nobody says anything about it and almost says thank you. And those like me who complain about it will definitely get criticized for not saying praises about the game, of course.

Must be hard being a brave martyr like you. Your courage will be rewarded in the next life, as the one of the few souls who have had the courage to complain about DLC on the internet. Surely, nobody else has ever had the courage to speak out on that topic, but then, not all of us can be so brave and say the things society isn't ready to hear.
