WS players are mediocre on a level playing field

Lol I guess I’m a fraud. Needed a good laugh this morning, thanks OP

I advise you to go watch YourFriendKyle on YouTube. He's gone to WS with an all gold squad (max 84 overall) and faced god squads pretty much exclusively. He's a top player for a reason of course, but he alone disproves your ridiculous theory.

You must be a blast at parties.
Huh?..i don't think this fits in anywhere

Or All-Star difficulty allows for a lot of randomness and can neuter good user input with good/okays and pitches floating down the middle when your timing is perfect via meter or analog.
If you think some of them are frauds, then play them at HOF difficulty, where the game plays 1000% better.

Haha this was a great laugh this morning

I went 12-0 In BR last night. I’m a pretty good RS player made World Series a couple times but get to 880 about every season and always drop the game to get me there

Any advice on drafting strategies? I know about the power hitters but what about pitching?

Are you being sarcastic? A 3 inning game tells almost nothing about who is more skilled. A 3 inning game is way more prone to randomness winning out.
Maybe some year we’ll get a game where randomness doesn’t decide who wins. The randomness is controlled by the game, so your statement implies scripted gameplay.

No, it does not imply scripted gameplay. It's just simple math.
Less time = more of a chance a blooper wins the game. 3 inning games will always be like that. Fewer innings = less time for skill to win out.Has nothing to do with scripted gameplay at all.

As soon as you said 411 you lost all credibility brother. Lmaooo

When does skill start to be rewarded? After 3 innings? Anything before that is just randomness?

I’m not a WS player. I’m very mediocre. I have descent BR runs. I like BR cause the games are quick. That being said it doesn’t give either player a lot of time to pick up on patterns or erase random bloops. BR does not prove skill.

Gotta get some value pitchers. I only took pitchers bronze and silver. Betances, givens, Aaron bummer, Aaron loup, Matt Barnes, she JA happ were the only guys I used. I’m no BR expert that’s my first 12 win run but that was very effective

My RS rating is 411 but I have a winning record against WS players in BR. I'm convinced they're frauds and only put up monster stats in RS because they have a team full of 99s.
There should be better rewards for BR, that's a more realistic gauge. It's impossible to move up in RS when my team of golds is facing 26 diamonds every game.
Anything goes on all star level my guy.

I have a god team (prestige level 10) and I still get hammered by good players. so no, WS winners are typically legit very good players. I can't get past championship series and Im almost entirely 99... because Im just not as good. plain and simple

Can’t back this post unless your teams are 7+ diff in team overall
The orioles would beat the Yankees more often in the best of 3 innings rather then best of 9 innings. I love the Orioles, but I know the Yankees are the better team.
Think of team total salary as skill gap level
A team may have 3 or 4 99’s already but I think most maxed teams OVR is 94 and that’s rare yet

This. Allstar for a 3 inning game is so open to randomness

I think the biggest meme on these forums is that "All-Star is completely random and allows trash to beat good players consistently" I know I'm gonna get a lot of replies on that one, but on any difficulty, the better player is going to win far more than they lose. Losing to the "worse player" consistently says a lot more about that player than it does his competition.

Different story in a 3 inning game..

Tom Glavine pitched 6 innings with 12 strikeouts. 1 hit. His pitch count was 76. First batter in the 7th inning I deliver a change-up a foot low (he hadn't touched one the entire game). I had perfect pitch.. This time the AI animation decides to show the pitch in the center of the plate. Of course, he blasts it into next week.
So now when the really strange AI controlled stuff starts happening I just set the controller down and let the Mercy Rule play out. Figure it's probably good for my opponent who has also been hosed by the clown software and the clown's that write it. Let them pad their batting stats, complete those programs quicker and what not.
Sometimes it's how you cope with a game that is so far off the rails it defies all the rules.
