Anyone else hate playing 9-inning Ranked?
-
I like most modes in this game, but hate playing 9-inning H2H. I understand why it's the default mode for "competitive play," but I hate starting these games for these reasons...
- I constantly have things to do and don't like to be stuck for 9 innings
- Servers and lag - even worse if you're stuck for a long game with it
- Meta all the time - ever more annoying when it's a long game to deal with the constant meta (Switch hitter galore, every pitcher throws 99 velo, cutter-sinker spam, Coors, etc.) - I know how to deal with these things, but it's annoying.
- Lots of cheesy cheeseball players
I really wish there were a 3 or 6-inning option that would boost your rank. I'm perfectly capable of getting to 800, but hate playing full Ranked games.

Couldnt agree more!! 6 inning ranked games would be perfect. Even 5 innings. 9 innings of sweat fest is just too much at times. I think 90 percent of the player base would be happy with this. If im going to sweat my [censored] off in ranked at least let the games go by quicker.

I wish more of my ranked games actually went the full 9 innings. Most players quit before the game is over.

Ranked should be 9 innings. Having 1 standard mode where you replicate the true 9innings is needed.
I agree, I wish they would get rid of BR and add a new “salary cap” 6 inning mode where you choose 2 diamonds from your binder, 3 golds 5 silvers etc and make it 6 innings with ranked style rewards.

@bjd10048_MLBTS I remember a couple years back, they used to have tournaments with a similar situation. They were only 3 innings, but you had like 2 diamonds, 5 golds, 10 silvers etc or something like that. It was awesome. Using the whole collection. Wish they brought that back
-
Agreed. I've said for years if they truly wanted diversity in lineups they needed a salary cap for ranked. Make players have to pick a diamond or two, gold, silvers, bronzes and yes commons to fill a team. But nope got to sell stubs and packs.
Or give a salary and non salary cap option? -
I don’t hate playing 9 innings ranked I hate that we can’t play more then one inning ranked without getting kicked atm
-
It would br the greatest addition ever if they let you choose to play 6 or 9 inning ranked.
The salary cap thing is cool idea too
Man i wish they let you choose 6 inning -
I like the 9 innings, as long as we have other choices. I'm fairly certain they used to have 6 inning event games in like 2019 or maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure they had quick counts, which are gone now.
