    Has anyone been matching up with teams full of bronze players in Ranked who do not try? This happened once a week or so ago, happened to me yesterday and has now happened twice today. So it is now my last three ranked games.

    They have all been XBOX players (can't turn off crossplay because I'm on XBOX) with different usernames but they seem to pick the Coliseum if they are the home team. They let balls drop, throw the ball around the infield and for the most part just try to bunt. Essentially I have to just start making outs to get four innings done and have the mercy rule called. It was fun the first time or two, but more than anything I don't want to get called for "boosting". These games are always a close match in rating. I am over 600 now, but they are all very close matches in ranking.

    Good thing I turned off crossplay. I noticed more ppl that act extra special on X Box than there ever was on PS. It kinda makes me feel bad for legit competitive x box gamers. But turning off crossplay was the best decision I've made.
    I get less connection issues and deal with less idiot clowns.

    I've seen plenty of YouTubers playing those type people in ranked and they've all said to get your 10 runs and then get out on purpose to avoid the possibility of a ban for boosting. Way too many of them. Apparently those are the the type of people who pay others to grind their account

    @Shauwn same. Although I turn crossplay on for events sometimes. I matched up with Switch user the other day, and I could tell they were a solid player, but oh my did I smoke the ball.

    @crash447

    They’re bots, ohchev has been running into them often

    He checks who he’s playing before the game starts and backs out if the name looks like a bot name

    And why can’t you turn off cross play? You can turn off cross play on Xbox

    They've all been Xbox players and since he also plays on Xbox he can't turn off cross play to stop playing Xbox players
