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.

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.
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

I’ve only played a handful of online PvP games this year. I think I’m unbeaten even. I just don’t enjoy it. Its not the reason I turn it on. I like to play and relax , which I can do 95% of the time in the offline modes.
I wish there were a nice little offline program to use your built up squad on. Rewards wouldn’t have to be equal to online rewards , but it would allow folks an Avenue for 9 inning games with their squads that’ll also lead to something decent after a determined amount of success.

If it wasn’t for wanting to use all those cards I worked hard to get, I wouldn’t touch ranked as well. Glad to see I’m not the only one who is having a love/hate relationship with the online portion of the game this year.

Ranked Seasons new name is bunt dance revolution

In 19 I probably played over 500 ranked games and would always make ws quickly and keep playing. Hit top 50 once and played at least through Christmas. Last year still played a lot and always pushed to ws. This year I may have 100 games and just don’t enjoy playing ranked at all any more. This season I think I’m 9-1 so I still win a decent amount but just have no desire to play or push to ws. Like everyone said it seems like every game is double digit strikeouts and a few homeruns.

I actually skipped playing for a season this year. It took me back down to 400. Since then. Hadn't had more fun playing! Once I got back up to around 700 or so, hated it again

I am right there with you. I much prefer the 9 inning games and therefore RS is pretty much all I play. I will play some event games if the rewards are good but I dont like the 3 inning, 6 inning, quick count, etc, games either. I enjoy the realistic 9 inning baseball games much more. I am also not turned off by low scoring games. I would much prefer a tight pitchers duel than a 13-10 slugfest. That being said, a lot of RS games are HR or strikeout type games and I do wish there were more balls put into play and more runs scored in other ways than the HR ball. Although, if we are talking realism that is pretty much what major league baseball has become nowadays as well. HR or strikeout.

I can't help but notice that the majority of the criticism in this post is directed specifically at the higher levels of ranked, which 80 to 90% of the player base will never reach. "Does Anyone Actually Enjoy Ranked?" is an interesting title choice for a post that's completely irrelevant to most of the people who play the game.

I would just like to be abke to play 9 innings, with my squad at the level I want. Heck, I would love a 9 inning mode with a cap on the overalls. And yeah, 40 wins is a lot. I've flirted with ws but it's a sweatfest... Not fun.

80 to 90% of players can’t reach 800? Idk about that lol, seems a bit high of a percentage to me.

I enjoy ranked seasons, but the fluctuating connection makes it frustrating with the pitch speeds high and timing windows small.
You can be on everything against DeGrom for instance thinking you are getting things figured out and next game you face DeGrom again and get blown away. I really don’t enjoy that aspect at all.
On the flip side you got guys batting .400….
I saw an advertisement for Verizon FIOS fiber optic gaming internet that reduces lag……. @D_e_m_I_s_E_PSN
