Event parameter Ideas?
-
Events and the lack of originality for the parameters has been a huge letdown for me this year. Ranked Seasons is there for people to use the best cards. I have enjoyed events in the past because they used to have neat parameters or requirements when it came to the lineups.
What are some parameters you've enjoyed in the past or some ideas for future events that you think are pretty unique or would be fun?

LS only event would be fun, with a max of 2-3 diamonds allowed on your squad.

One year they had an event where each player could only be a certain height and below.

Anything besides use any card like the last 4 have been. Well at least there is minor progress, the current one doesn't allow future stars or 2022 allstars

I liked most events last year. “Switch” event was my favorite. I also like things like Sig hitters versus Awards hitters.
I do not like in any form the any player format (team 95). I would prefer where the average doesn’t matter but cards are capped at 95. These events are just getting really, really boring. I guess they have been all year, but the expectation that something different might come has really gone away.

Anything that doesn’t include Signature or Milestone pitchers.
Facing Randy and Nolan Ryan every ranked game is enough for me, I’d like to play events to just swing the bat for 3 innings without sweating.

You point out a large part of my frustration. At least they changed rewards now so I can skip events I don't like which is increasing at a rapid pace.

I think an event with ERA (dates not the pitching stats) would be neat. Let's say one event you can only use guys who played before 1975. One event only uses guys from the 90s. SDS would obviously need to look at their stats to choose ERAS or dates where there would be an ok amount of players to choose from.

The truth is you are probably facing them less in RS than Events at this point. At least rest is forced in RS.

I think the only reason they don't do those is that they would only be able to do 80s, 90s and 2000s. Relief pitchers were non-existent before then. I think it would be cool though

I’m all for variety and getting the meta pitchers where guys game the system and pitch them every game out if most events.
Personally I would like to see more HOF events as I really don’t play much RS any longer and 3 inning HOF is perfect to me.

I would even like to see the option to play AS or HOF for every event. I am fine with the same reward path. It is really hard to get good at online HOF if you have to battle into 700 to start playing there. I don’t play enough RS to grind to get there and then get in enough games before it resets again.

Lets get wild -- Commons only.
Max OV 64, no Min.
Test your stick skills (kind of)Or basically anything that doesn't have 8 different categories as "eligible cards". I thought the Jackie event last year with the numbers 24/42 being eligible was kinda cool. So maybe something similar....Low #s vs High #s (hitters/Pitchers)

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, because this is a fantasy mode game, but I think ALL H2H games should have the following roster requirements:
SP: Anyone is available as long as they fit into an OVR restriction.
RPs: You can have ONLY two CPs. One left handed and one right-handed. The other 6 BP arms have to be RPs only. No running 8 closers.
Hitters: See SPs. However; no playing anyone OOP. If the position your setting them at isn't a position on their card; then they can't play that position.
And Events need to be treated like RS in the stamina department for SPs. You can't pitch with a starter or relief pitcher more than once every 4-5 games. So now of the running Randy and Nolan for two games then forfeiting your lineup so you can use them right away. This way you use your ENTIRE rotation.
BP arms cant pitch without 1-2 games between appearance. However if you use a BP arm as an opener; then you have to wait 4-5 games like you would if you used an SP to start the game.
Also, you CANT sub in an SP after an SP already started the game. So no running Randy for two inning and then closing with Nolan.
