You want to hide records???
Shoot…you can barely even see them now. If you skip the opening and/or blink or take a sip of coffee or look at your phone for two seconds…you don’t even see the record.
The more important part of this post is the issue of why people CARE sooooo much about their record. It’s kind of embarrassing.
I’ll often get messages and comments about my record…because it looks bad. But I played all the goons in early access…and routinely play with watered-down lineups.
It’s funny when I get messages about my record…and then my opponent rage quits after 4 innings while losing. They always message me their excuse too.
It couldn’t possibly be that my terrible record against good players with lesser lineups has made me better than their good record with nothing but 99s against bums…
I looked you up, .180ish hitter with a record of 66-136 as of last night… I guess I understand now why you don’t want input to matter more.
Annnnnnnd…
What’s your point?
For one, this isn’t even the thread you’re referring to…so you’re soooo desperate to take a “shot” at me that you’re hijacking this thread to do so?
Did you actually look me up? Or just my record?
Did you see the games I played with the Alex Gordon LS captain and the freaking Royals LS cards?
How many games did I play where I had the better team? How many did I play where I had an equal team?
I’ll answer it for you - almost NONE.
No worries…you’re just making my point for me.
It’s actually kind of sad and pathetic to care soooooo much about your record. Some might even say it borders on mental illness to care so much about something so utterly meaningless.
Oh…and okay your next 50 games with a worse team then all your opponents…and let us know what your batting average and record is.
Can your fragile little ego handle that? I’m gonna guess it can’t…
Lol, you continue to call people mentally ill
You came here with an attitude since day one, pretending to be smarter and superior than everybody else. You are not, you are just another person in the internet like all of us.In regards to my ego being fragile, it is not and it isn’t tied to virtual baseball game results, I won’t interact again with you regarding input and results in this videogame until you can actually perform well and understand why so much RNG is not good.
Anything else we can still talk and should be fine going forward.

I think the issue is that there is a large gap in matchmaking.
There should be something along the lines of divisions either based on record, rating, etc. and that is where you play your entire ranked season based upon that and you earn rewards that way.
After said season you either move up or down in order to obtain season long rewards meaning current World Series rewards.
I'm sure there are flaws to this, but this is my opinion and I am certainly somebody who has played far less ranked this year than before because it gas become very stale and non rewarding. -

For myself, I care about my record, but it doesn’t stop me from playing ranked. I usually grind out all the conquests and showdowns and moments when they’re released, and then I play ranked. All that CPU grinding is tremendously time consuming, so I e only managed about 50 games or so. I don’t play BR at all, and very little Events. I just have heard from people that the record display bothers them.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Probably won’t change but just thought I’d throw an idea out.
Good luck all! I hope your opponents throw meatballs and you don’t drop your PCI! Haha.

We’re still discrediting opinions because of their stats? Feels like 2017 again.

A lot of people avoid Ranked because they are protective of their record. People play BR and Events more because their record in those modes aren’t permanently displayed.
Some people don’t want others to see a less than stellar record. Call it a fragile ego or whatever you want, but it prevents people from playing ranked.
What if displaying your and your opponents record was a settings option? I know that some people WANT to see their opponent’s record, and don’t mind if theirs is displayed.
So why not make it a setting? Something like: “Display Records.” If both players have it on, you get to see your opponents record and they get to see yours. If one player has it off, no one gets to see.
I’m just spitballing here so if I have blind spot let me know. What do you all think?
lol brother what are you talking about - why would anyone care about their W/L ratio in determining whether they should be playing in RS or not - that is crazy unless i am missing the memo here on the forum - many people i see in RS have horrible records - they are online no problem
-
Personally I feel the rewards are much too low and the winning/losing does not matter for the vast majority since they took away the 1 point per win in the program. While I am not the biggest fan of no sell rewards if that is SDS's prerogative then fine but making me play 40-50 9 inning games where I have to hope the game properly counted innings is just not worth it with other content and relatively better rewards.

I’ve heard multiple people say so on various Discord channels over the years. As I said, it doesn’t bother me. Ranked is my favorite mode and my record isn’t great.
People have expressed a desire to play Ranked, but have stated this is one of the reasons they don’t. I’m just trying to help them out.
On a side note, I used to think that Ranked was a mode that devs would want people to play more. I mean, up until this year it was the one mode where the user could use any card in their lineup at anytime, making the value of cards go up (and lead to stub purchases?). It requires people to play the game for longer stretches. But maybe that’s not the case. Maybe they don’t care if people play Ranked or not. Recent changes certainly point to that.

The RS program should not take more than 20-30 games tops. Took me about 6 days to do on/off and I’m pretty average. Just wanted to point out that it isn’t that daunting and as someone who avoided RS the last 2 years, the ease of the current program is what brought me back.

i hear you completely on your last sentence there - maybe they don't care about RS and balancing out more offline or whatever mode for people - for sure i hear you on this
as for discord servers - just keep in mind that most of these people are kids and nerd gamers - there is far more to life than gaming - to get worried over an RS ranking says a lot more about their personality than anything else
-
I don’t care about my record either on there. I just try to complete players involved in programs and pitch full innings so I get credit and then quit when I get the reward. They also should of left the point for wins. It’s already enough grinding with all the stuff they throw out there
-
There is a lot of content and game modes to play. I dont care about my record, the only reason for to play ranked is to finish the program which takes a week or so depend how much you play. There's a lot of grinding with events and team affinity. Ranked is for people who wants see their name in the scoreboard and world series players. I finish the program and dont play until the next season or I need XP if i done with events
-
I'd like them to disable sound effects when you're the visiting team. There is no reason I have to listen to a gerbil talking just because I struck out. And I doubt the local team is going to be celebrating every little thing the opposing team does in a positive way. It's just so dumb. I hate having to mute my tv just to keep my sanity sometimes. I play a lot of RS and I get my [censored] kicked a fair amount of time. I don't really mind losing but if my opponent plays some stupid quote from a kids movie every time he launches a homer in his high elevation short fence obination of a stadium I am going to quit. Let us disable sound effects, created stadiums, and caps if we want to.
-
100% agree
-
OP has some solid points. I care about my record. I play this game purely to fantasize that I’m a manager of a dream team. It would be hard to immerse myself while conquering imaginary baseball territories with a subpar record.

The sweats that care about their record are all in the 950+’s, the issue outside of the RNG, is the useless grind, if you’re a casual player you’re not making 900+ therefore your SET reward is unsellable, which means come July and the months following it that reward is literally useless to you. You can collect it for another unsellable useless card and then you can wait for them to release the exact same card in the next set or you can just not waste your time with online play at all and use the cards you spent hour’s mindlessly grinding in mini season’s or conquest.

I guess I'd just say if it's mindless for you, you aren't having fun. There are thousands of PS games out there, and 3 or 4 Xbox games depending on your console. Go play something else, no worries man.

No, it’s mindless for anyone with critical thinking skills, ya’ll got 2ked and your ignorance and SDS Stockholm syndrome have taken over. Enjoy grinding 82 moments for a head start on a monthly award you cant use in October, but guess what? all those cards you refused to see sunlight for…they are all going to be in chase packs with new card art, just waiting for you to buy up so you can play ranked.

lol dude you sound absolutely angry - like a very angry dude on the internet hypothesizing over things which mean nothing - there are plenty of us who are very relaxed, enjoy this game, and don't need to put on tin foil hats because of X problem or X problem - learn to enjoy what you have, and frankly - if you despise the game so much why are you on here all the time in this forum? if i hate cheese, i am not going to be a part of the Cheese Members Guild - do you know what i am saying?

I haven’t been on here in a month, so all the time? Bit of a stretch, don’t want to accept the downward spiral of this game?…that’s fine, just don’t tell me this is a great game because it is not. That’s not a tin foil hat response and not a single one of my posts have been anywhere near that. Enjoy grinding for nothing but don’t ever tell me this is a good game, EA and 2K are micro transaction heavy but at least they don’t try to hide it.
