I see both sides...It would be nice to know what difficulty you’re playing on from the first pitch. That being said anytime anybody would give their opinion on here there would immediately be 5 people saying “You’re only 60-45 and in WC, Nobody cares what you think.” Then that would lead to fights. That’s the problem.
Yeah but isn't that valid? I'm WS level and it's hard for me to know whose opinions to value because you have people saying, "this card rakes" and you don't know if they're grinding conquest on rookie or playing 1100 level unless they tell you.
I agree to an extent. You obviously don’t want to take the opinions of people who have yet to touch HOF difficulty. But at this point the way the game plays I think records are really misleading. I’m struggling to make it out of wild card right now but all last year I was a CS player and made World Series a few times. My win percentage is not even close to what it usually is right now. I think all star difficulty is way too easy to hit. I’ve outhit my opponent in almost every single game I’ve played on all star yet this ranked season I’m only 2 games above .500 with every game being 11-10 or something ridiculous.
I just play to have fun now, win or loss , and take the good w the bad. I just wish we could agree to hof difficulty, if both parties don’t agree than you default to whatever the rank is
That's a healthy attitude Max. I would def prefer Hof+ as it's the more competitive gameplay however, like you said at the end of the day just have fun...these RS games are 40+ min a pop barring a ragequit...it's astounding how many ppl grind thru these games hating life.

Wouldn’t a better solution be to just have the game (during the lineups screen) say what level the game is playing at? I’d much rather have an in game solution than having to look up players.
Sure, that's fine, I don't care what it is. Just want to know what I'm playing on.
Another alternative would be if you matched up with someone on a lower level, you could elect to pick the higher difficulty and if the other player didn’t agree to it, it would close the game sessions as a friendly quit. This would be pretty cool across all game modes so that if people wanted to play BR/events on those higher difficulties, they could.
It would be nice to play on the higher ranked difficulty instead of the lower but that will never happen.

I mean it takes like 1 batter to realize what difficulty you're on
And when you're the home team? I don't want to play on all star, people aren't as accepting of friendly quits after that first batter..

@Msk5031 said in Opponent rating:
the game should just tell you the difficulty at the loading screen
That would be really nice, that works for me as well.

The game should just have a matchmaking option that says I want to play on "this" difficulty. Period. Shouldn't be that hard.

I agree. You should be able to make WS playing on any difficulty and match make based on difficulty chosen independent of difficulty. In this way, you can play at whatever difficulty is more fun. Maybe with the ability to earn more points with a higher difficulty win. If it’s about competition it won’t matter the difficulty as long as it is the same as the opponent and equal playing ground.

You should be able to make it to world series only playing on veteran? Bad take..

Yes, because it makes it more accessible to more people and you will be playing on veteran vs a higher caliber player AND playing on veteran won’t yield as many pts in a win so it will take longer.

The best players not to cater to you casuals who think everything should be given to you -
If a player A beats player B it isn’t determined by difficulty level. If player A loses to player B it will happen on Veteran or Legend difficulty

It's the highest level in the game.. it's not supposed to be accessible to "more people" no higher caliber player is going to sit and play the game on veteran.. This is a really bad take

Disagree if the rewards were properly attributed to a particular difficulty. Veteran WS? Rewards appropriate to that difficulty (read: low). Legend WS? Rewards appropriate to that difficulty (read: high).

You shouldn't be able to get to world series on veteran or all star, I hadn't thought about that, but there has to be some way to make it doable.
I'm thinking more about you guys, I'll never be good enough to get to 700 consistently.

The best players not to cater to you casuals who think everything should be given to youI not a casual but I am average and do not believe everything should be handed to anyone.
That said, people like you need to get off your high horse thinking your sh!t don't stink. It's the casuals and average who pay for this game to exist in the first place since they make up 90% of the user base. Keep trying to alienate that group and see what that does to this game.

When did anyone determine what it is supposed to be. The best will still be the best and go high. Weak players are weak and will not. By making the different difficulty yield different points. The best player who can enjoy and be successful at highest difficulties will get. WS quickly. However players like me who are decent and could play at the higher level but get NO enjoyment from the game at certain.l levels don’t have to torture themselves.
Also it will allow you to play with different teams. If you are hella good you can go down to a lower level with a [censored] team to burn affinity pts

Um anyone can hit the ball on veteran.. there are no weak players on veteran. When did anyone determine what playing at the highest level of the game is supposed to be? You're not serious with this..

Nothing is being handed. You have to beat an opponent at a harder level. Why should guys with monitors and sick internet be given WS because those advantages are real.
You still have to win. You can now have fun and play the game for enjoyment and competition

So if you played the best player in this game on veteran would you win or lose. If you played the game against the worst player on veteran would you win or lose?
What player would you play against where to difficulty level would determine who wins or loses. The only difference imo is the score. Yes on Vet you may have a 10-7 win vs other levels 4-3
