    All star should be an offline only mode. The game is 90% RNG on all star. Can't have that while also being competitive, which is what online play is supposed to be

    Some of us would never acquire anything online and Sony would never get my money if it was H of F or Legend only online ...

    I should say that I would be fine with there being a H2H mode on all star difficulty, just not ranked seasons or BR. Events are fine, and I think there should be a mode to grind online stats that is separate from RS

    There's already no real mode to play 9 inning games offline, now you want to get rid of 9 inning games online too?

    When did I say I want to get rid of 9 inning games? I just think ranked games should be on HOF or Legend. I'm in favor of there being a similar online mode where people can play AS online, but it shouldn't be a ranked mode

    Because no one would agree on what difficulty to make it.

    You can't just put the casuals and/or people who play on t.v.s on HOF, and you can't just put the best players on all-star. There has to be different difficulties.

    As much as I hate the game, madden does ok with one difficulty level. The only thing that really changes are the quality of opponent, for the most part, as you progress higher but the game mode itself is the same across the board. The game doesnt shift from Arcade, to all-pro, to all-madden difficulty.

    That is a bit different though, Madden doesn't have things like pitch speeds, where if they are to fast, they exclude people on t.v.s from playing

    Just seems like there could be a way better way to do this. The rating idea is really good imo

    You're right and I dont know what the solution is but it is pretty frustrating adjusting to the different speeds, timing windows, AND PCI. Not to mention how even a little bit of lag can completely distort things even further.

    Agreed, and like you, I don't have a solution. It sucks, but I bet we never see a uniform difficulty because there is just too many sides that want/need different things.

    Oh I agree. I am getting better but doing so on All Star I am like a 400-500 player in Ranked Seasons.

    Why would they have the same mode twice? Wouldn't it be easier to just add a setting to rs to specify that you only want to play on HoF or Legend? Or all star for that matter?

    I think people would be less frustrated if the game was as smooth online as it was offline. The only way you will never get that, tho, is to get rid of PVP connections or some sort of ping base match making.

    Gaming monitor, it provides much less input lag. If you do use your t.v, look up how to put it in "game mode". You should see an improvement in terms of input.

    I honestly don't understand why they don't have two separate Ranked Seasons -- one with people who choose to play on Legend all the time, and one where people who choose All-Star difficulty play on that all of the time.

    I really don't get how it makes sense to just spike the difficulty the higher you get in Ranked Seasons. The thing is, if you're trying to break into the next level of difficulty in RS, but you're hovering back and forth, your timing is going to get out of whack each game.

    Plus, it would solve the problem everyone talks about where people who regularly play on HOF/Legend hate playing on All-Star and the people that struggle with HOF/Legend can stay on All-Star. I honestly don't know how anyone is expected to be able to hit if they don't have a monitor or a really good T.V. on Hall of Fame/Legend difficulty.

    It seems like this is a good idea, but unfortunately, what would happen is you would still have the people that play on legend coming in to stomp the lower tier players in that division on purpose.

    I think the game should cater to what I prefer and only what I prefer.
