2v2 and 3v3 Competitive Mode Confirmed

I don’t think it will be a DD mode, but more like a separate mode where you use existing teams to play your friends.
Nope, there will be a DD element to the game mode. Polygon reported on it. The question is: can you play 2vCPU or 3vCPU
-
Unless you're only playing with your friends, this seems like it will be pretty terrible lol. There's gonna be so many trolls and people screwing around, bad connections, lag, disconnects... They need dedicated servers before this even has a chance to go well.
-
Did people actually want this?
It seems a pretty obvious attempt to “add features/value” without actually doing anything at all about the actual gameplay.
I’m not surprised, but this doesn’t bode well for anyone hoping for anything but another reskin of the same game.
-
I think playing against trolls will be more entertaining now with a buddy on my side. I’m all for this co-op. It may fail, but I like that it’s starting somewhere and happy to give it a chance.

That may be true, but just imagine how much dashboarding will happen in this mode. If you thought people were quick to leave when they were the one controlling what's happening, imagine how fast they'll leave when their teammate gives up a Homer, or has a 1 2 3 inning at the plate. It'll end up being a 1v1 by the end lol.
Plus there's no way the servers will be able to handle 6 people at once when they can barely handle 2 right now lol. I really do hope that it turns out great, but it seems like SDS is getting in way over their heads with this mode.

Ya people have friends

Trailer says friends and family.
I’ve never experienced dashboarding when playing a game with a person i know.

When I was a kid, flipping the Monopoly board was our form of dashboarding.

People probably want to try it, but idk how this could be anyone's go-to game mode. Ppl quitting / sabotaging their own team is gonna happen way too often. They're just trying to be like the park in NBA 2K.
Agreed, I don't think many ppl were begging for this.

There are regularly posts on this forum and even on OS from people requesting co-op to return. Having said that, I guess we will see how many of those players follow through and play it.
People also occasionally say how wonderful a full 9v9 mode would be. Rose coloured glasses there I think.
Trailer did mention friends and family specifically so I don’t think the target market for co-op is those who hook up with randoms online.
-
I don’t remember what year it was but there has already been a co-op mode but only against cpu. Wasn’t fun at all. I stopped playing it after I lost internet connection one time and the guy harassed me through PSN. I don’t think this mode will make it far.
-
I don't quite get the point of Co-op play in a baseball game, especially if we're talking about linking up with complete strangers to somehow share the responsibilities. I have fun when a buddy comes over switching back and forth on a showdown or moments but an actual game....no thanks. I like having control.

Good point, seeing as Franchise is totally absent from the schedule. What a fricking slap in the face of so many players.

Online is a K vs. HR fest. What fun will it be playing a position that sees no action? It's player lock without the ability to fast forward. How awful.
Unless pitching duty is rotated, I suppose? But sill...
-
Can’t wait to play this mode
-
I think the only way this will be even remotely enjoyable is if you play with friends. I only have one friend who might even consider getting the game next year, and he's not good lol. Matching up with 3-5 randoms would be an absolute hot mess. I'll probably stay away from this mode, but I suppose it has potential to be fun if you have friends that play too.
