Hall-of-Fame is so much better than All-Star (Ranked Season)

Thanks to some weird and annoying bots (Yes, there are a big problem on xbox) and a couple of close wins I managed to get over 700.
So I played my 3 games on HOF-difficulty. Yes, it could be my opponents
but comparing to random 3 games of All-Star the game actually played like a baseball game. I have fewer hits but less pitches are sent into orbit …Yes, there are still too many foul balls, but gameplay is much better up there (and yes, it is a heavy grind for me playing there)
Foul balls are still the biggest gameplay issue this game has. Today my opponent fouled off 57 pitches on HOF, that’s a ridiculous amount of fouls.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN Put it in perspective … All-Star is worse
… Let me guess: Game was at shield woods and your opponent was playing the „I swing very early on everything … because I can“? That is the worst -

He just had so many opportunities after fouling off pitches that were supposed to be swing and misses, also the umpires screwed me over a few times when I got him looking, so I built up a lot of frustration and before I knew it I was about to get mercied because my approach was gone.
Bad umpiring and foul balls are out of control.

@TheCanuckler309_XBL 9-21 this season hitting .145 you're barely touching the ball on hall of fame, you are part of the majority that I said can't play this game on hall of fame, that should not be the standard difficulty for every level.

For sure, don‘t fall on the troll job of him

@iBonafideScrub__PSN Who where you pitching, if I may ask?

I started Edward Cabrera, and left him for like 6 innings, then put Kenley and Ottavino in.
-
@iBonafideScrub__PSN Edward has pretty high K/9 … that should be good. But yes … too many foul balls

Yeah, foul balls are simply broken and they refuse to patch it. I’ll be swinging early at everything from now on, I will be a foul ball demon too.

I just had my 5th consecutive win on HOF and I have climbed over 800 … My last game my opponent and myself split foul balls in half, 32 each. That is fair enough.
And to mention it again: 6 hits, 2 runs, hell of a game. Total different game for me

I've played one game of HOF this season and it was at the Woods...game ended 14-13. I won but it was still kind of a miserable experience.

I hate those 86mph homeruns, IDK how people play everygame there.

Strike zone cam needs to go. All these players playing a first person shooter with those cams. Lame

@douevenbench_MLBTS sorry lol had to laugh at this one

How do you know what hitting camera your opponent is using?
-
They should allow you to choose what difficulty that you would like to compete on in RS. They could have two RS leagues: HOF and AS. Both are separate, with separate leader boards, and you could complete in one, or both.

Lol, you want us to use strike zone 3. What else, do you want us to hit directional and pitch classic?

@douevenbench_MLBTS
I think I see what you're getting at, if the simulation or realism comes from broadcast or fan perspective then yeah over shoulder of pitcher would be standard. The game from it's core is meant to be played as a simulation from players perspective for the most part at least for batting.... -
@xElRojo44x_MLBTS imo no. Ranked is competitive … you play and (maybe) get better. The better you get, the harder the difficulty and/or your opponents.
The problem for me and in this thread is that all-star is too rewarding for bad pci-placements (and yes, too many foul balls)I just finished my (about) 12th game on HOF. On average both teams had about 3-5 runs. I did not play a single game in a bs stadium (yes, there was place for my random „Shield woods is a disgrace“-mention) and I had blast playing … a baseball video game.
I lost the last one because I missed 2 hanging slurves and my opponent had 3 of his 5 hits when it mattered most … Awesome experience -
@YOSHI24_XBL
It would still be "competitive" because you are competing vs another live human opponent, with the same paramaters. The reason for the two divisions, is not to make it less "competitive" but to give the Community a choice. Not many like the various pitch speeds, pci size changes, etc as you move up/down each division. Give AS for those who like the slower pitch speeds, and let those who want to compete on HOF do that. Personally, I think this game plays better on HOF, but a lot of other folks prefer AS.
