I've decided I'm not playing online this upcoming ranked season. After making a WS push last night, I've dealt with enough randomness to convince me this is not a skill based game. Everything you described is accurate. Its more of dealing with BS than actually having fun playing the game
I was at 860 on 2 separate occasions and probably could have pushed through to the WS. May have taken another 10-20 games, who knows. I do know that dropping down, changing cards and other things ended up being a lot more fun. Wins don't excite me anymore because I don't know if the opponent was dealing with a 120 mph fastball. Game would be more satisfying if ping based matchmaking created a level playing field.
Before the last few games, I was playing event with all gold lineup. Mainly because I didn't have a diamond position player. Bought a 50 pack and had like 10 other packs saved up and pulled a Baez and Alonso. Was 18-14 with all gold lineup. Wasn't even expecting close to a winning record. Pitching down the middle against all diamond lineups are tough to win. Also those games don't seem to reward good/good or better at near the same rate.

I haven't played RS in about 5 days, but before that it had been my main mode. My record is 45-35, so I'm not good, sitting in DS. The main reason I play it is because it is about the only thing to do (at the time).
The early events really didn't appeal to me, Showdown is what it is, but you aren't using your team. I do all the Inning conquest maps, but just work bit by bit at the big map. Luckily we've had some programs drop, and the new LS event isn't too bad. But for awhile it was the only mode that made sense for me to play.

Constantly u r cruising next thing u know u are right there for a ball 99 Sandberg botches it and the following guy hits a double to score a run... Ridiculous

Honestly I limit myself to one loss a day. I play until I lose then I go play COD or BF2 the rest of the day. I used to get myself all stressed & anxiety attacks over trying to make WS. Once I set the rule of once I lose - That’s it for the day I quit having the emotional problems. Worked for me, Just passing it along.

I've heard some guys on here wear a garter while they playing online. It helped Nuke LaLoosh win a couple of games.

If you are running into the issues I put in my other thread a lot, maybe try your mobile hot spot. Game seems to perform a little better for me than wired fiber. Now, this isn't always the case. I noticed my ping on mobile hot spot in PUBG was around 70. There were still tons of people with higher ping. One of the squad mates I played with was usually around 90-100 and he was like the freaking terminator in that game. Melting people and rarely got hit. Give it a shot for 10-20 games. What do you have to lose? It could play worse if you have a really bad hot spot but worth a try.

Well every year this game gets worse, what can you do it’s really the only baseball game. Every year shelf life gets less and less.

Nice approach.
My approach is never go to bed w/ an L. I get a W anyway possible, if I lose a heartbreaker in RS I run a quick br/event game hit a few bombs and go to bed. -

Mercy ruled him.
How do you mercy rule someone? Is there a certain amount of runs?
Idk how the ppl that created this game still have jobs or how ppl buy this game year after year.
It'll be a one and done for me. There are cheaper things I can do if I wanna get frustrated and pull my hair out.
I'm with you on this I used to play Fifa as a main game since basically birth been playing mlb on off since 12 or 13 and I used to really enjoy some editions. Now though it's going just like Fifa the scripting the numerous glitches ect This will be my last for a few years.

I’m not “great” or even that good by any means. And I’ll admit a lot of what I’ve experienced online is RNG and not even entirely skill based but luck or just random. With that being said I play 1 game at a time usually. Not even everyday. I’ve only played like 20 ish or so games. If I’m in the zone and feeling good about how I play I’ll play 2 games in 1 day. Other than that I play 1 and usually just 1

I've played 16 Ranked Seasons games this year and less than half of them made it to the 9th inning. I wish I had more fun playing Ranked Seasons but I just don't. I don't know, I liked the way the game played around launch. It was fun when every game wasn't like 2-1 or 1-0 for most of the game.
