Events would be a lot more fun if we didn’t get matched up with superior competition

Yeah, the matchmaking in these events is not very good.
Well no.. because it doesn't take into account RS rankings.. it's like BR..

It should take event ranking into account though. If I'm 3-12 in the current event it should be trying to match me with someone else with a well beliw 500 record.

Participation ribbons for everyone!!
What would help, would be making the elimination number higher, so your ranking can be affected more before it resets

I mean, I don't know. I dont care too much personally, but I can see where it can be frustrating getting matched up with world series players over and over when you aren't very good.

What I find crazy is that all last event long I was facing prestige level players around 75% of the time. I must be out of the loop, but I have played a couple hours a day since launch and I am only gold 60ish.

This is my exact thought!! Multiple prestiege 100. Im over here at gold 95 like what xp method did i miss. Lol

In past years i completed every event. I always found my better games were against the better opponents and id struggle against teams full of silvers and bronze. Havent played that much this year bc no matter how bad hitting was in the past, the pitching was always good till this year. Now you try to throw a curve in the dirt with good release and it ends up the middle of the happy zone. I do like the reward structure though and found i dont curse as much.

Lots of folks this year who are home 24 x 7 due to COVID who are playing 10+ hours/day.. Easy to get to prestige when you have the time.. -

Right -- but some people do to lockdowns played a ton more this year... Kids with no school not allowed to go out or adults that lost their job.

Lol, I'm silver 34. Tried a game last night to go after some Jackie stats (the ones you have to do online). I got lit up 7-0 against a prestige player.

This is like the second or third time you created a thread like this. I think it's very selfish to only view this from your own perspective; the event means nothing and is just a way to play laid back games for everyone. If you match up against someone who's superior to you, just quit and start another game. Eventually you'll find someone of equal skill and if not I would suggest to go practice.
Either way, the event is also the only (meaningless) place where world series players can match up with low tier guys and give them a good beatdown. Everybody loves handing out a good beatdown now and then. Just because you're on the other end, doesn't mean it needs change. If we wanna play similar skill sweaty games, we have Ranked Seasons for that.

Just quit and find a new match - the record means nothing. If you dont want a sweaty game and can tell your opponent is really good then just quit and find another.

Ya I just get frustrated with hitting in this game. I’ve played over 300 ranked games and maybe that’s part of the issue. I try to play too many games in one sitting that my hitting is worse for it. I love everything else about the game. I’ve watched YouTube constantly. Last year was the first year I’ve ever played baseball online. I’m better all the way around but I’m so inconsistent at the dish.
-
I actually prefer events over RS and BR this year. We all know the inconsistencies. So I play the events and don’t sweat it. If I lose, I lose. I’ve gotten pounded a couple times but also winning too. I’ve matched up against some good players but I look at it as good practice when the results really don’t matter. So if I get pounded, I sit back and relax and try to do my best. Losses don’t matter and I enjoy my time on the console more when I just relax and have fun. I grind out some innings, daily challenges and, hopefully, some prestige stats. I hope to win but don’t get bent out of shape if I lose, especially if the other player is simply better than me.
Of course, it STILL would be nice if it would save your event lineups after getting two losses.
-
Yes, but its a brief 3-inning grind for Prestige cards; I'll manage, but the 9 inning RS thing....fewer and farther between.
