It's unfortunate and really sucks, but you need to deal with it.

Honestly, pitching hasn’t been too bad. For the most part, my pitchers are able to put the bawl where they want to, and overall, the event is playing quite well. If it played like this in ranked with SS and finest players, I think 70% of the complaints would go away.
As I mentioned in my other thread, this makes me think that the root of this year’s gameplay problems lies in over 💯 attributes.

I'm actually pretty stoked about this event too. You're spot on though. That, coupled with the fact it's way to easy to hit. I have high hopes next year will be better. Either way, I gotta get gud in case it doesn't.

never take the pig man out of LF

I have 12 for my all gold team for RS

@Ryan_2713 said in Event 3:

can we use silvers and bronze? would like to get my blue Jay's innings up for that final banner.

Yeah, idk why I keep saying just golds. Just no diamonds.

This thread has run its course. If you want to continue the conversation, make a new thread and keep it level headed.

Ryan, Kershaw and Wood hate facing them...…… as for pitching against Finest Grandal guaranteed dinger and SS Griffey JR

This is why I gave up on BR so so so long ago. it's not worth for me to spend stubs to enter when I know i will never get passed 2 or 3 wins based on the caliber of other players I am being matched with. Even within Events I average 0-2 wins per entry & I have to re-enter like 20-25 times to finally get the total wins needed to gain the rewards of it due to being out matched by guys playing at WS level. I'm a PS player at best within RS & usually bounce up & down within PS/WC. No way I can compete skill wise against those in CS & WS. It is so freaking frustrating when I get matched with these level players most of the time within Events.

Something has to change to match players better based on playing skill level with both BR & Events.

So why should I have to play better opponents in BR than you to get rewards? That makes no sense and punishes a player for being good..

Because if someone is a caliber WS level player, then they should have to grind for their wins ALL their wins against other players at their skill level, not be handed easy freaking guaranteed wins against those at lower skill levels. They need to do this within RS just so they can stay within WS consistently. Therefore in BR or Events, players should be match better accordingly & reflecting off their RS Level.

So you should be rewarded for being a worse player by having an easier time to a reward of a 600 thousand stub player? Lol ok 😂

NO!!!!! THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING!!!!! I need to still grind & earn my wins just like everyone else. but it is a very HUGE DIFFERENCE when I am playing someone matching my own skill level of play rather then someone so much more advanced. I may never be CS or WS player & PS may be my ceiling, I get that & that's ok with me. RS is formatted that way to separate those levels of play. However BR & Events is not & that is what makes it highly disadvantaged for lower tier players when being mostly matched against top tier players straight from the gate. It's not even a fair ladder to climb. You enter BR or Events & the 1st very game is against someone that's a WS banner, 400+wins & most likely a 300 Diamond level if it were able to go past the 100 max.

Of course it’s disadvantaged for lower tier players that’s why BR has great rewards that are worth more than getting to World Series, because even for great players going 12-0 in BR is more difficult than making World Series, now you’re going to say to win 12 games in events/BR people should have to run a gauntlet of the best players in the game to get there? The answer here is for you to get better, not to punish good players for being good.

Those "GOOD" players you speak of are not being punished in no way at all because they already have the skill & talent to play this "Video Game" (because it is a video game & not a real game) better then most in here. Therefore they will get their wins no matter who they play because they are that good. However if Events & BR were to match players on skill level like RS does, then the games would be evenly matched by skill & just boils down to who out plays they other & wins. So lets say I enter BR & play games 1-3 against low tier players & I win, then games 4-6 would be against mid tier players, then games 7-9 against top tier players & finally games 10-12 against elite tier players. Then a ladder like that makes sense. I surely wouldn't be able to make it past 7-8 wins within a ladder like that, but at least I were able to earn the rewards up until that point rather then outright eliminated within 1st 2 games due to being matched against top tier & elite tier players. THIS IS THE POINT YOU ARE NOT GETTING

In Ranked Seasons, the best players still start at a lower level. Your ladder idea is a good idea, but for it to be fair, ALL PLAYERS, would have to start at the lower levels for games 1-3 and work there way up. It's somewhat randomized, but already kinda works like that. You just gotta get good and have a little luck go your way.

I definitely agree with you and Skep, but sadly the events and BR ratings bar doesn't work. You can't freeze it like you can with RS so frequently you'll have the bar slide all the way to edges and your first game can be against someone who has just won 11 straight. I think this is particularly true for people like myself who aren't located in the US.

I wish I could freeze the bar so I could choose to match up with someone who is on a similar streak.

If your internet cut out like you said, that’s on you. If the game was laggy, that’s a different story.

@James97M said in Tips on hitting with Wagner?:

He hits everything on the ground for me! Or shallow outfield? Anyone have this issue?
How many ABs have you had with him? Where does he hit in the order for you? You may just be pressing with him. He is a beast but not everyone hits with every card.

Why would a baseball game censor a word that is integral to the game? You are literally going to every comment I have made and replying and I’m the 5 year old? Got it.

@x-Crimson_Dawn-x-0 said in This Event:

Looks like im not getting Matthews. Which is fine. I was planning on selling him later.

I've only completed the Ichiro and Marichal moments, so those are the only SS Diamonds I have. Still need to complete the ones for Billy Williams, Colon, and Wainwright; plus buy whatever other cards I need to field a competitive lineup.

Then I have to get at least 15 games in by 3pm EST tomorrow, which would be tough considering I have to go in for PT tomorrow around 12noon EST, and probably won't be back until 2pm EST.

Not making excuses, as I started late. Just saying that is rather buy Finest Arenado and play him at 3rd inatead of buying 8-10 SS cards, only to come up a few games shy.

Finest Arenado rakes and plays elite defense

The only must haves from those programs are Alomar and Wagner, maybe Gehrig as well but I have a very small sample size with him.

Well fortunately I value your opinion less than that of a 3 year olds. I find it likelier that you're either lying or bad enough at the game to not realise it.

It's alive & kicking for the cards no has yet to complete all the "Honus" collections needed & getting whatever players needed to tweak & improve their DD Team. But for all the other cards, yes it's pretty much dead for those that played since March & has all those cards already. Only the newbies getting into now are buying all those regular cards.

I understand what you are saying. I could envision a system where you could not “write off” losses like you can IRL.

I’m fine with the system as is, but if the point is to simulate reality, I always found that part frustrating.

Yeah, I bought Vlad, Joc, Acuna, and Alonso HRD cards to complete the program stars

There’s really no tricks here, just buy the cheapest cards you can, lock them in, quick sell if you wish to minimize card flipping for more stubs. Most are at or near QS value on the market.

Affinities are much easier than they used to be also - quick and cheap to get some 100k exchange pt guys if you’re getting close.
