    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.

    Why do you think this? Remember World Series is supposed to be for
    The best players not to cater to you casuals who think everything should be given to you

    I 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.

    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

    lot's of people have fun on hall of fame, it's not their fault you don't, I can't imagine saying you should be able to make it to the highest level of this game by playing on veteran lol

    You are 💯 correct. And they could keep playing there. That’s their choice if they enjoy that. They may not enjoy it the same if they played on a big screen TV or weaker internet. But that’s not their fault. Let people play and enjoy the game where they want. It doesn’t have to be played how an elitist group of pricks who use the game to make them feel better about their poor high schools baseball careers want it to be played.

    It’s ok Billy your WS achievement is still special even if others get there.

    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.

    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..

    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

    If I played the best player in the world on veteran the first inning would take about 5 days to complete

    So then you would choose to play on a different level. See how that works.

    So.. what I've gathered is, to make it to the highest level of the game, you should be able to play low level opponents on a very low difficulty. Got it.

    You do realize you are playing a video game. Right? You still have to win games. We are just not ALL forced to play the game the way you want it. If I demanded we all play analog zone we would all say that is not right because some hate hitting that way. This is no different.

    Lol...do you put MLB the Show trophies up in your house.? You need to get a grip dude. The game is meant to be fun. If you are really about that life you should join a REAL team

    Yes over a very long time. I am not saying the wins should count equally. As I said the difficulty levels should have varying pts given. The seasons don’t last forever. So a veteran player may run out of time. Whereas a legend player can get there relatively easily. Players in the middle will be in the middle but ALL will need to win.

    Not sure why a guy who love HOF level and gets to WS easy would care what or how others get there. Play your game how you want it

    Go back to letting us see our opponents ratings on this website, the game plays so different on HOF and All star we need to know what level we're playing on, this was a dumb feature to take away because some low level players got upset when people would search up their ratings.

    I agree 100%. There's been times I've looked for this and wondered why I can't find it. I liked when we could look at the profile of other players. I even think it'd be cool if we could display our icons and nameplates on the forum. That would help me decide what opinions to value more than others.

    Sorry. You are going to have to treat opinions on their merits and not some elitist non-sense. 👏🏽 to SDS one of the few things they got right.

    First of all, "merits" means the opinion would be worthy of praise, so your use of the word refutes what I'm guessing you're trying to say.

    Secondly, how is it elitist to want opinions about how cards play on the difficulty level and game modes for which I would be using them? Obviously, if someone says a card rakes but they're only doing offline grinding on veteran that doesn't help me if I'm playing online ranked seasons.

    so what’s your coaching record again? Are you fired or did you get a participation trophy?

    It’s a video game that’s primary goal is to have fun. Why should I be forced to play on HOF to achieve WS because you are not winning enough in life. You are a walking participation trophy. Inclusivity is more fun imo. The game shouldn’t be built for a select few. If you want to show you are the best of the best. Create an online league and be about that life.

    The only that looks sad is you who is complaining that others are better than you at this video game, yes video game. Video games have standings you know and all those who are at the top pages of the standings deserve to be there based on their skill. You know what skill is? You're literally trying to champion a method that would equalize all achievements and have people on the same level just because you can't hack it. There's nothing unfair about making ppl ranked 700+ play on the same difficulty (HOF) to achieve WS. What would be unfair is a bunch of people crawling their way to WS hitting bombs off bots with the PCI the size of Titanic on veteran difficulty. There's nothing elitist about that. No one in this entire thread is saying they're the best in the world yet you're taking offense to ppl not wanting to play bots to reach WS.

    Hey I hear rookie mode is pretty fun, I hear you can get all your team affinity innings done on that mode as well. Sorry that you can't make it to world series and need it to be on veteran to get there..

    I actually think both. I think that on ALL levels this is to homer derby. I think result from good or perfect contact need to be toned down

    But I also hate playing with a PCI the size of Skepples junk

    Lol seems like I hit a nerve

    Just quoting this so when you edit it out because you're scared of getting banned again it's still there.
