    Not dead. But not being any casuals, other than myself, playing.

    Last 4 Event games have been against opponents rocking a WS Icon, having 5-6 times more wins than losses in their RS record, and are fielding teams where the hitter with the lowest BA of the bunch is still batting .455

    Again, Events are not casual friendly so you wont see many there. Why would I waste my time playing a mode that only grants progress for wins when I only expect to win 20-30% of the time?

    The best place to play casuals, somewhat ironically, is ranked. You'll run into some in BR, but even with the changes BR is still a slog.

    What you mean is it's dead FOR YOU.

    The world does not revolve around you and your specific skills. I'm by no means a great player. My record in DD ranked is 8 and 12. But I finished both ranked and battle Royale programs bc I concentrate and wait out good pitching and hunt for mistakes and try to be inventive with my pitching and I can still win games and have a blast.

    I'm tired of people declaring things dead and attempting to sound definitive as if YOUR experience is universal. It's not. You're just bad at the game. So quit and leave the game to people who enjoy it and try to grind it out and improve.

    The Game is alive. It's you thats dead

    Did your girlfriend cheat on you or just dump you? It’s all good man. Go read a book or something.

    @Teak2112 I agree I am finding opponents much faster in ranked but the gameplay is suffering. Nobody could catch up to a fastball on all star difficulty. 2 different opponents I played struck out 17 plus times. It was ridiculous. SDS screwed something up.

    Don’t fret bro, you posted a perfectly reasonable response but the OP wasn’t having it. He’s the type who pours hot coffee on a three legged puppy. Don’t waste any more seconds on this guy.

    I don’t think they left. I haven’t played online all week since I finished BR and Ranked. I just did storylines.

    Its not quite "dead" as much as it's neglected. It will be dead very soon. The only thing keeping it alive is the marketing and content creators. When summer and fall games get released then the game will be dead. It will peak again around playoffs and world series but die after that.

    It's just horribly neglected by the devs as far as bug and gameplay correction. It's just a battle pass app without the battle pass title and without the polish. I don't play BR cause I know there's no way I'm getting flawless at least not without raging and going through divorce first so it's not worth it. The game freezes and bugs out too much for me to put trust in it for a 12-0 run attempt.
    Casuals don't play because it's too hard to be a casual online. You don't know if the casual base is dead because the casual base just plays offline. There are no casuals in PVP

    It's time for you to just leave, we don't really like all that negativity and that's all you are.

    Not dead by any stretch...but maybe casuals just aren't into getting their $#it pounded in day in and day out anymore?

    It's the #1 reason I avoid online play, I'm nowhere near good enough and I still want to enjoy this game

    I've always been under the impression that most casuals don't even play online.

    That @arvcpa_MLBTS sounds like a great guy. A class-act all the way.

    I can't even move the slider when entering RS before getting matched up; 75% of the time it's instantaneous, the other 25% less than 10 seconds; in 400-500 (yeah I suck but still having fun).

    @VioletNine9 it takes me about 1 second to find a match online. This game is far from dead.

    @GixxerRyder750 I think there can be middle ground though, no? Like I want there to be competition but I don't want a game to be a 9 round homerun derby foul balls bananza.
    He may not be wording his frustrations the best but it would disingenuous to pretend we don't understand what he's feeling.

    Ah, amateur therapy hour in The Show forums again. A guy trolling an upset gamer on a game forum, telling him to "go read a book." With the obligatory man/bro/brotha thrown in for even more condescension.

    You can't make this [censored] up.

    @Loyal-Wiglaf Since they have about as many solutions to offer as SDS devs do that's about the best response you'll see from them. Insults and deflection from the games problems instead of actual opinions or thoughts on fixing the game.
