My friend and I were talking about the idea of roster limitations in RS today. I’d like to hear some more opinions on it but we both agreed it would be fun and interesting. I’m not talking about the way they do events with only switch hitters or only a certain series but an overall cap on the team rating. I think it would make utilizing the bench much more important than it is at this point and add lots of variety to RS

So no online mode besides casual that you can use any team you want? That won't end well. Also it won't add variety, events have done specific thing you suggested to, and it was still the same meta cards over and over.

I agree that being able to use any team you want is an appealing idea, but every year it’s the same story
Game drops-“gameplay is the best it’s ever been”
99’s come out-“gameplay is garbage”
I am of the opinion god squads are what ruin gameplay and I do believe roster restrictions would create variety. With the way the game is now, there is no reason to not play a 5 tool player at every position, there is no reason not to have 5 aces and a bullpen full of closers. This would hopefully bring value to the utility style players -

I wish they could somehow implement that you can't use the same cards as your opponent so you can make back up choices the computer will decide at random. I hate when both teams use the same pitcher ect

It’s not so much that I hate facing the same players that are in my lineup, it’s that there is almost no variety in lineups after 700 rating, and absolutely no variety on a pitching staff, I can literally guess with about 65% accuracy what pitcher in facing before the opponents lineup is shown
-
Maybe having a draft like in br but with the cards you own? You have a choice of 4 of your randomly picked cards. The ones you don't pick are not available. You take that team into a season or something with interesting rewards?

Yes, this is why I don't love the God Squad. I know we all have our opinions on who the best players are and yet, it seems like we always have similar squads mainly because any avid player is going to collect all the great cards. But now there are so many choices. It would be cool if there was a quick draft. You can take anyone from your collection but if your opponent takes that player you need to grab someone else. You'll both still end up with amazing teams. You take Wander? Cool, I'll take Honus Wagner etc.

All of these ideas are good. Ranked needs a major overhaul for 22.

What you are describing is basically the exact thing as events. they are testing it with the BR and RS "programs" to win a certain amount of games to win XYZ prizes. By doing this, they have essentially made every online mode a different variation of events.
I think they are testing out what the community is playing and collecting alot of data on it. I think they are going to make significant changes to online play structure for next year because people seem to be getting bored of the current structure

It wouldn’t be events. Players wouldn’t be limited on what series of cards they can use, the games would be 9 innings and the ranked structure would stay the same. It would simply bring more strategy to lineup structure, roster construction, and in game management. In my opinion it would make ranked much closer to a baseball simulation, which is what sds advertises they produce

I am agreeing with you. Yes, RS will not become branded as "events" but they are already tinkering with the way the seasons are played out. Making a 30 win cumulative goal as an option to achieve RS rewards is already a drastic change from previous RS structure. I think this is just the beginning and they are doing this to collect data on how many people are willing to grind cumulative wins (events) vs playing the traditional RS format

They tried this in 2k one year. Last 2k I ever played. While this always sounds like a good idea on paper, there are going to be far more people against it than for it. And no, you can't just make another mode. It would split the playerbase too much
-
That’s why we have BR. If anything just ask for 9 inning BR mode.

Ranked is fine just the way it is. It's the only on-line mode that lets you put together the team you've spent so much time building. Don't like it, go play events.

I’m not asking for ranked to be filled with silver and gold players, we have plenty of low and high diamonds to make teams with that would meet the requirements

This won't work because SDS wants us to grind our butts off for the best cards and some people have to spend money for stubs. If you can get by in ranked Seasons by using mediocre cards with a couple great cards then people will just keep their few great cards and not grind and spend money for the Ultimate Rewards. I like ranked Seasons the way it is. I put time into building my squad I would hate to not be able to use them the way I want. I believe Battle Royale and events are what those modes are for. Or you can always do Friendly's like someone stated.

Like five years ago they added position restriction to do what you are discussing. You used to be able to do whatever you wanted.

It doesn’t have to be silvers and golds, they could adjust it to low diamonds, mid diamonds and 99s. MAYBE a couple of golds to have some weakness.

Doesn't matter one bit as long as they ignore fixing the SP stamina glitch.
