Online Rated. Does the level of play drastically change or something?

The most common trends in my wins were taking alot of pitches & recognizing where the opponent throws. The Last 40 pitches menu has been helpful point out where they like to spam pitches. Sitting on pitches middle-in have been largely rewarding.
Pitching-wise— be unpredicatble, throw everywhere in and out the zone. Keep the offspeed stuff low and heaters high.

Like others said, the more you win (and play in general) the higher your rating gets, couple that with the team you’re using and you’ll start getting matchup with higher opponents. Also depends on your game settings too.
-
Also depends on what time of day you’re playing. My level + the time of day I play my match making meter usually goes all the way to the max which leaves a ton of room for really great players or really bad players to jump in a game with me and since they refuse to let us know or see who we’re playing before the match starts you could just be getting better players in your lobby.

I just played another rated game. I give up 9 hits, get 9k's, gove up 2 homeruns for 4 total runs. My hitting , i get 10 hits, 2 runs only k, 2 times. Crushed the ball all over the place, but yet they go right at people and didn't score the 2 runs till the bottom of the 9th. Wtf is happening here, normally when only k 2 times i score 10 runs....i lose 4 to 2 to what i felt was an inferior player. I cant understand why a game goes this way.

I play hof bat legend pitch. At least go all star all star.
Go to the practice mode and learn how to hit on higher difficulty. You will have much more realistic games.

I actually play mostly online rated because the games are less sweaty and tend to be more realistic. I started doing this when I got all the way to world series in DD and it became unfun. Legend is too fast for me, my skill level ain't that high. Online rated for me is casual, while DD is competitive. Realize as you ascend the rankings, competition gets much better. Anyone with a perfect record after 30-40 wins is probably cheating

I'd try veteran. Its a little faster than rookie but not to complicated. A little more room for error if you leave a pitch over the middle.

Get on all star at least
I tried a game with allstar for pitching and hitting. I won 4-2. I was surprised. What was different exactly compared to rookie? Smaller pci? Pitching is more difficult?
It just seems like, rookie was more my league and i was always nervous to play higher. Why do so many plugs choose to play rookie and beat on easy opponents? It just seemed like i was getting shiate on in rookie but not Allstar. Weird
-
All Star has smaller PCI & faster pitching. There's less hits but the contact you do make is more rewarded. Glad you won on all-star. Keep mixing and matching difficulties
-
Thanks
I assume i should continue playing on all-star for pitching and hitting.
