Add a premier ranked season league?

The only thing The Show needs to adjust with RS is the way you progress. Stop making it point based and make it record based. Have each tier have a specific number of games you have to win without losing "x" number of games and you go to the next level. This eliminates the point discrepancies you get vs different ranked players. More importantly it gives players at least a few games at each new level. This means you actually getting better when you make HOF difficulties because you get at least 3-4 games, even if they're all losses. The higher ranked person in the matchup is the home team and it's on their difficulty, not the lower persons. I'd honestly love to hear a better way to do RS than this.

I’m not unsympathetic, but, to be honest, taking a drubbing from a really good player is kind of a rite of passage.
The idea makes me think of games like destiny where they tried to separate the casuals from the sweaties by creating different pvp modes (with different rewards as you propose).
The only thing that happened is the goons loved to come stomp in the casual mode, and the casuals complained about not being able to get the better rewards.
Put a restriction on the tiers so that the goons are overqualified for that tier? If goons are creating new accounts just to qualify for that tier then maybe after x amount of wins you get bounced to the next tier or if you are winning games by x amount of runs you get leveled up?
Getting beat is one thing, getting destroyed is another. I think someone hit 5 home runs on 5 consecutive pitches in an event on me. I get it, you're good - I'm not but I'm practicing and hopefully can get better. If not then I'll just stick to the offline content and be perfectly happy.

I'll add this. If you lose the "x" number of games you go backwards 1 tier. Then, instead of having to win, let's say 7 games without losing three at the previous tier again since you already did that, you just have to win 2 games without losing 2 games. If you do that, you go back up, but if you lose 2 you drop again. This makes progressing a little easier if you do fall back without penalizing you too much.

The thing I didn’t understand when I first played a ranked game in like 2014, is the moving up through divisions. I thought I would play a complete season in the division I was in.
In that sense it could be cool. You know all the guys that start at 400 play each other for a season and the top few move up. You know how there are tiers in OOTP perfect team and you play the 16 or 32 other teams in your division fir the week, then move up or down...

Seasons would have to be much shorter and there’s have to be a lot more rewards. Otherwise it would seem like that might be slow and stale quickly.

True. In perfect team, each week is a season.
I mean the rewards could just change at the frequency they do now. If one dynasty season is, what, a month? So the reward for each tier changes every four seasons.
I’m just spitballing. Sometimes I just don’t feel like playing out every game against a thug, particularly in the case of the ones that have an annoying stadium sound for every strikeout, run, stolen base...
I don’t mind playing good players, but the guys that spam DJ horn at me I just can’t be bothered sometimes.

I play the game on mute 90% of the time, so I don’t hear any of that stuff. The commentary for the game is bad enough without the awful sounds of the show.
Definitely agree if seasons were a week long, that may work. I like the idea of knowing what I need to do to advance a tier though. If I knew I was at DS and needed to win 7 games before taking 3 losses, I think it helps plan accordingly. I may press more or be conservative if I’ve got some losses to play with.
The only other solution I can think of is have each tier have a set point total per win and loss. Not this random nonsense we have now.

The matchup system they use now is awful. There has to be a better way then going blindly into a game. As soon as the matchup screen comes up and the guy has 1000 games played and prestiged Frenchy Cordero I know I'm going to get crushed plus my friendly quit is always declined (before any pitch is thrown).
-
Yeah, I’m amazed how many of you have 4-500 ranked games played.
I’ve been playing since day one and have just shy of 100.
That said, I do work in film, so maybe I just don’t have the time some of you have.

But how would you see all the cards you need to buy to compete/be as good as them?. Im just kidding, I’m in full agreement that there needs to be some adjustments to Rs and matchmaking, best you can do for now is make sure you keep your opponent search tight, keep the bar all the way left and itll match you up with people within 50’points north or south of you.

If only that worked in events.

I haven’t played events at all this year, but you cant tighten the search?

No, it doesn’t work like in ranked. Not like it really matters. I lose to bad players quite often.
I would love to know how I can have a perfect perfect foul ball, or a bases loaded perfect line out to shallow left with Trout vs a tired silver pitcher. I want SDS to explain these things to me.
Of course that will not happen because they do not care.

I realized in May, when each game I played left me with more questions than answers I knew for my own sanity it was time to play anything but this game.

haha true. I've been doing that lately and it seems to help. although as I mentioned earlier I got matched up against the #1 ranked guy in events. not cool

This game needs the MLB version of FUT/HUT champs plain and simple. 20 games per week, not “ranked” but a weekly competition, and rewards depending on where you finish. 5 wins 10 wins 15 wins 20 wins. Content doesn’t get any easier.

The idea that OP put out reminded me of when you go to a park to play pickup basketball and there are 3 full courts. The closest one is always the best ballers. The middle court is the next “tier” so to speak. Then the furthest court has the casuals. Nothing wrong with it; the topic just reminded me of it.

I agree with the OP.
