    Every season I end up 1-2 wins away from World Series. I hit a wall because I can't hit fastballs consistently at the higher difficulty levels, but I rake on All Star.

    Given Randy is the only reward that mattered I lost a bunch of games on purpose by striking out as fast as I could to log more innings. Then I wrecked lower ranked players while leveling up Kershaw and DeGrom on my way to 250 innings.

    It was a lot more fun than trying to hit against sweats on Hall of Fame.

    Glad you are having fun. Not cool
    For the people You are “wrecking”
    At the low levels who belong down there and should be facing people not “tanking”

    Blame the screwed up incentives in the game. I have almost 10 million stubs but was 440th in line for Randy so my stubs were useless.

    I’m not quite good enough for World Series so there was zero reason to want to play at higher difficulties. The rewards for leveling up below World Series are essentially worthless this late in the game cycle.

    The rewards are worthless at all points in the games life cycle, they are virtual baseball cards that will become useless as soon as they announce the show ‘23. The fact that people do anything and everything to obtain these cards is actually sad.

    Collecting all the cards and building the most OP team is the core incentive of any ultimate team game mode. If you aren’t trying to max out your team then what is it all about?

    Enjoyment, fun? All the things people living and dying by RS records and the worthless cards they collect don’t understand. You got MS Randy Johnson, congrats, enjoy using him against the 45 other people left playing, who also have MS Randy Johnson. All that toxicity to get a card that no one cares about because 3/4 of the population is gone.

    I’m not very good at the game and I’m currently grinding Randy. I usually sit in the 500s. Lately all I’ve been seeing is World Series banners and guys that smash. It’s very frustrating as I enjoy the games with opponents of my skill level. But because I need the innings I continue to get pounded. I’ve played RS since 17 and I’ve never seen craziness like this.

    i've been doing this all year - it's because i hardly play at all - and it is super fun to feel like God for a minute and crush you guys in RS - i can barely get 9 innings in you all quit so fast out - 23-1 this year in RS so far lol

    Be careful, you'll have all the women swooning, and the men straight 6 to midnight with game like that. I am half turned on myself by just how sexy your flex was.

    lol thank you i wasn't even wearing my favourite red dress when writing the post - but think of me in this way if it pleases you

    They should keep you at the level you reach instead of going back down

    There would no incentive for most players to play ranked then after reaching 900 as they get one of the rewards each season without actually playing.

    I guess it’s hard to comprehend sarcasm, therefore I found it unnecessary to articulate my words. If you need a better explanation so you can fully grasp what I was implying, please let me know and I will be more than happy to clarify anything you might have misunderstood. I, for one, want to make sure that you have a complete understanding. Please let me know.

    First you insult me because I didn’t elaborate, so when I do you say I sound like a robot? That doesn’t make sense. I’m in sales bud I have plenty of social interaction.
