I used to be able to score 5-10 runs on HOF. Can't hit anything any more. Feels like I'm trying to hit 110 mph wiffle balls.
Same, this has been the only year since I’ve been playing the game where I cannot hit HOF. I used to hit just as good as all star tbh. Something is awry.

It’s unplayable over 800 this year, I can’t believe it. Every pitcher has outlier…not even remotely fun to play ranked anymore. Kind of destroys the whole point of DD for me.
It is due to pin point pitching at that level. Too hard to hit when every pitch is perfect.
True, forgot about that

I stopped playing Ranked in season 3. I couldn’t deal any longer with the timing windows mess, Cabrera’s magic sinker and my noodle bat.
I found bliss in the game mode extra innings, you should try it.
Yea same I don’t touch rank anymore. It’s one of three out comes. 1. You go up against the guy who doesn’t swing at anything a millimeter out of the strike zone. 2. Your opponent just does toxic [censored] all game long making it unbearable. 3. Freeze off at some point or some weird angels in the outfield animation to cost you the game. I enjoy BR and conquest thats about it right now

I enjoy ranked but I don’t run into the same problems as most

I'm like 54-20 this year, so Im a beast, but ranked / online in general is not that fun.

Nope I hate it.. I’m 67-24!! And HATE jumping into ranked seasons… pitching is so OP it’s mind boggling boring!! Been playing only BR but that’s lame cause I wanna play with the cards i have grinded for… On AS difficultly you can’t really strike people out and they foul off EVERYTHING but the games are atleast entertaining

Yeah, I’m like 90-34 but that’s besides the point lol. The games are terrible to play.

It’s horrible this year, low scoring games with both players struggling for hits…
This is why I like ranked more this year. I do enjoy it. I want to struggle for hits; the way balls flew around before things were tamped down a bit, I expected NBA Jam-style flames to be coming off of them… I cannot stand arcade baseball slugfests, and once I get into the 700s, they at least become less frequent, and that’s a good start.
I’d like to see a greater variety of hits (analog allows for this - most of my hits are singles, not home runs), but it seems to be a home run or nothing for most, as most use zone hitting, so that’s my biggest gripe; might be fun to flash some leather, now and again, but I enjoy the pitching side of the game and prefer, if one side is to dominate, that it be the arms.

Its a means to an end.
The game is not fun when each team strikes out 12+ times every game and the deciding run is a contact swing HR that has no business being hit out. More fun throwing quarters in a slot machine.
-
Contact swing and terrible matchmaking killed this game for me haven't played in months and get more satisfaction reading about people complaining about this game knowing I don't deal with it anymore.

I tell myself I do but then I'll play a few games of it and then want to slap someones grandma that's how frustrating it is. But then I don't play for a few hours and I get the itch again. Rinse and repeat.
What makes it lame is every game is the same. Who can keep their opponent from hitting the fewest homeruns. Because there is no other way people score besides HRs. LITERALLY. No other way. 90% of the games I play are like 1-0, 2-1, 2-0... The default sliders for the game are bad so you see a lot of things like outfielders being able to run from a mile away to get under a ball and catch it. Line drives off the bat arent realistic at all. It looks like when you hit a golf ball with a 9 iron.
But yeah my biggest gripe is the lack of diversity when it comes to plays on offense. All you see is. Strikeout. HR. Slowest hit ball ever for infield single. Pop-out to catcher that only went 7 feet in the air. Or line drive directly at an OF.
All ive seen is my opponent attempting to bunt or successfully bunting for the last three games. This is why i have reduced my RS play drastically over the years
Facts. That’s all I’m getting especially on HOF. I don’t know if it’s the fact it’s hard to hit on HOF or it’s they just want to be toxic. Either way it’s annoying

A couple small fixes and I feel like the gameplay will be perfect.

Pitch speeds, contact swing, bunts, fielding animations.

I have played 77 ranked games and have zero desire to play more. I grind the event if I want the card. Same with br, if I want the card I’ll grind it. Ranked was horrible last year due to pitching, but this year is [censored] right horrendous due timing windows, oh and the warping pitches. Until they figure out how to get a game that plays consistently it will be the same every year.

After today, I’m done with ranked unless there is some major improvement. This is the least fun I’ve had playing mlb since I started in 08. Online this year is terrible.

no its just people spamming 101 and 102 sinkers and fastballs on the low inside corner, it's late jammed hits never good in the zone hits. same players seen same pitches nothing new and the same kids who pitch like their life depends on it.

I feel like the money is right between AS and HoF difficulty for the most fun gameplay. This could be just a bias off my own skill, but I don’t see why ranked can’t just be one difficulty (ideally something around the HoF skill level) where they top players just trounce the rest. They’ll do that no matter what, right? Why not have a ranked for multiple skill levels?
Personally, it just feels dumb that there are people like myself caught between 675-875 that have to bounce between the constant difficulty changes of AS to HoF. Could be that I luck into a few games and end up in High 800s, but whatever it is just makes the game completely unfun.

As I said previous yes I do. Love the 9 inning games.
For example just played this guy 1-0 down who had 99 JDG. A 4 run 6th got him out the game and I won 5-1.
No better feeling tbh.
3 inning games are just too arcade for me
