Campaign to Re-Design Ranked Seasons

I miss the single ladder no rewards Ranked Seasons. Everyone played just to play.

I appreciate the time it took to think this out and type it, but personally I think the ranked seasons format is good as it is. Sure it could be tweaked but I wouldn't want an overhaul

I’ve thought about the idea of having durability actually matter. Not for injuries but if there was a stamina bar for position players. Would influence the use of your bench like you would in an actual season.
Then make it able to be 125 durability for guys like Cal who never had a day off.

@Serrato32 this could be a decent idea for an alternate mode but not a good idea for a ranked. Ranked is already intimidating and frustrating for a good amount of the community and this would only decrease the number of people participating.
First off, there would be a significant increase in top players playing casual/low tier players. Once they win World Series do they drop back down to the first level or stay in World Series. If they drop down they play easy opponents and destroy them making some not want to play ranked, if they stay in World Series the World Series reward will become almost impossible to obtain as the top would continually play eachother and even elite players would have a hard time going 4-3 against other elite players (especially with how the game currently plays) yes this format would be good for elite players but not for the majority of the community which means less money for SDS, so it would not be a smart business decision.
The tier system works for ranked seasons because for the most part you play people around your level, if your good you move up to the next level and the next level till you reach the level that tends to equal your play.
Yes, ranked needs some working but I think it’s more around points. Maybe having a set point marker for each tier. Say Division series give you 20 pts for a win but 10 pts for a loss playing another division series players. If you play someone in a higher tier you get a bonus in points for the win say 25 pts but a loss is 5. And vice versa for playing a lower ranked opponent, 15 points for a win, 15 points for a loss.
If you are a consistent World Series player and are bored with ranked, you can do a playoff format for the last week of ranked. Basically make the entry requirement making World Series in that season then have a playoff format like you suggested with only World Series players
I like your idea and thought process but just purely on a business sense it’s not a good idea, but may work as a separate game mode

Sorry, but you lost me on Divisional Playoffs best of 5, and World Series best of 7.
The last thing I want is to be matched up in a series with an opponent who is purposely annoying, bunt dancing or abusing R2 trigger all game.

Would people actually play if there were no rewards? That, and BR, is how a majority if people make their stubs.
Although I do think it would be less toxic by just having a ladder.

Not anymore. People are so enticed by rewards, nobody plays just to play.

Once you win WS, those players go into their own Legends league with other rewards and games played on legend for other rewards like currently.
Also instead of resetting back to regular season if bounced in a playoff round, only have to restart that series. That way the best players stay at the upper echelon while weaker players still try to battle their way through the lower tiers.

He doesn’t mean play the same person best of 5. Win best of 5 against 5 random people who are also in your division.

Oh, I didn't know.
Because then it sounds like either a BR version on steroids, or maybe Events on steroids, or maybe a combination of both. Instead of reconstructing RS tier infrastructure, I think they should focus on reconstructing RS gameplay.
