So I can play on HOF button only and everyone is fine. But if i play veteran analog zone that is a problem.
You guys want to be special at something so bad it’s actually sort of sad to me
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.
Ok...you need to read more. I have a suggestion not a complaint. Sorry i don’t view gaming as a major achievement that needs to be made pure. Also “skill” in this game is as much about internet connection, game monitor and cards you own
. If you are so skilled go take a team of commons playing on a 70 inch TV with wireless internet with a modem on the other side of your house and see how your skill gets you to WS.
I honestly don’t care how a dude gets to WS. I just hate playing a ranked game in a format I don’t care for. I also don’t think YOU need to play ina format you don’t care for.
I made WS the first season of my first time ever playing DD in 17 on a 55 inch TV screen with no game mode. I was using fish eye as my hitting view. I did that using all those conquest cards you used to get.
Monitor, good connection, and good cards help but it doesn’t make a trash can into a good player.
Some of you all just can’t accept the fact that there are others better than you at this game.
No doubt you must be good and if you stink you won’t make WS on any level. But if we are being honest 17 was a better game. And you would’ve done better if you had a monitor, wired internet and played with all diamonds to deny that is just silly
I see you're willing to die on this hill so I won't try to change your opinion. But just know if you want something casual you can create a custom league with your casual friends for a casual trophy and everyone wins. You aren't forced at gunpoint to play ranked, you know "ranked" games as in facing increasingly stiffer competition/difficulty to climb said "ranks."
I am all for facing better competition. THAT should be the difficulty difference. I am all for changing my mind if there is a good argument. Like for instances you argument about me creating my own league. Well that works in reverse as I have already wrecked Skepple with it. For those who want to consider themselves special make custom league on the highest difficulty. The greater majority can then play at whatever level desired. To be honest you could take this further with match making also taking zone vs analog hitting
We already have custom leagues on the highest difficulty...
World Series isn't for the majority, there's no argument that will say otherwise.
I'd love for their to be a singular difficulty if that difficulty was hall of fame or legend.
My argument did say otherwise. You should sit down now. You have been destroyed in this conversation
You're such a tool, go play on rookie mode with your team affinity players, sorry that you're sitting at 14-11 and can't get out of pennant race and want it to be easier.
Lol...what’s better my Mlb the show record or your coaching record. You can sit down now.
Here is your participation trophy
Why are you so obsessed with my personal life? Holy man, at this point it's gone beyond trolling to just downright creepy.
But yet you keep egging him on, drama queen

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.
I bet you’ve never played competitive sports in your life. This is an awful take. Ranked season is a competitive format. It’s accessible to everyone who makes their way up.
This thought process makes me cringe.
Actually i have. At a very elite level. That might be why I don’t have the need to demonstrate my specialness via a video game. In real sports you don’t change entire rules as you move up. Do we make the mind closer. No. Not to mention this just a simulation
This isn’t about proving specialness at all. I could care less what people think about myself as a player. I want to play a game that is challenging and rewards good input, while also being competitive.
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you define as an “elite level”? I’m genuinely curious because your thoughts align with someone who believes in participation trophies.
Elite level in my case is beating Olympians in practice and almost Olympians in completion. But to me elite is what you make of it. If someone says they are elite...ok cool you are elite.
I agree with
I don’t think that I or anyone should dictate what your gaming experience is. If you like the highest difficulty setting go for it. I just don’t think anyone should dictate to me. All completion is fair as long as the same setting is applied to all parties. -

It’s only relevant because you are so arrogant and pretend like you are all about being the best and greatness being praised.
And knocking the participation trophy gen. Meanwhile you are a lackluster coach who probably should be fired but maintains a job being mediocre, but cries because he can’t be acknowledged correctly in a videogsme

Yes...I am not arguing fairness. I am arguing fun. It’s just NOT fun for me. I like winning, but because this isn’t real life and I am playing for fun I prefer to win while having fun. It’s not like it’s my job it’s entertainment. If I were paid to win it would be different.
I think the problem for you in particular is that you are paid to win and you are not. So you are taking that real life energy and applying it to a video game.

Just got my first college head coaching job so we’ll see how it goes!

I agree with
I don’t think that I or anyone should dictate what your gaming experience is. If you like the highest difficulty setting go for it. I just don’t think anyone should dictate to me. All completion is fair as long as the same setting is applied to all parties.So you playing on hall of fame past 700 isn’t the same setting applied to all parties? Ok I gotcha
Yes...I am not arguing fairness. I am arguing fun. It’s just NOT fun for me. I like winning, but because this isn’t real life and I am playing for fun I prefer to win while having fun. It’s not like it’s my job it’s entertainment. If I were paid to win it would be different.
I think the problem for you in particular is that you are paid to win and you are not. So you are taking that real life energy and applying it to a video game.
So because you’re not having fun we need to cater to you specifically because you can’t hack it on hall of fame?
Just got my first college head coaching job so we’ll see how it goes!
-
I know how it will go. But how on earth did you get a head coaching job. It’s not because of your winning program...oh wait...participation Trophy...LMAO. I can’t wait to hear the lockerroom speech. “ well boys I have a subpar record but I am killer at video games. Here is my trophy. So we will see how it goes”
-
Yes I want the game catered to me. I also wanted catered to as many people as possible including sub par coaches. That is why we have different difficulty levels and varying hitting, pitching and feilding interfaces. It’s catering to us. And it makes the experience more fun
-
It has nothing to do with hacking it on HOF. It has to do with it being fun on HOF. I have wonn plenty of games that just aren’t fun

Now that I have Maverick on ignore (first person!) I'm hoping we can get this back
-
I am glad he is ignoring me because he was getting destroyed by me and I was feeling bad for him. I guess it’s good practiced because he will be getting destroyed as a coach. Truth is too painful for some people
-
Or just some indication of the level we're playing on before the game starts

Fill me in please. Where did you see the level in the past? I've never noticed. The only way I could tell that we matched up HOF was the pci size.
You didn't. He is just trying to be cool. He pretends it has to do with what level he is playing on. But if that mattered he would actually agree with my system where you search for games on the level of your choosing.
He just likes to be able to pretend he is better than anyone. It helps him live with being a mediocre athlete and a subpar coach better.
For example if you say the pitch speed is too fast or that Hitter A isn't hitting well for you. He will say...well you are not an elite WS player so you wouldn't understand. Its very annoying and petty.

Why isn't the rating next to the person's name on the opening screen? Have that and their record. That way there's no need to have to jump on TSN to try to find their rating -- keep it all in one place.

Way back in the day you used to be able to see records/batting average/rating on guys universal profiles on the site and then they started taking stuff away, last year you could only see rating, now you can’t see anything

That's something I wouldn't have a problem with at all. It's just a simple user interface request I think it's reasonable to ask for SDS to do that.

Because the entire system enabled disgusting behavior from people like Skepple. Plus its meaningless. For example last year and even this year. I would do Affinity innings with some crappy players just to rack up innings. I would take way more Ls than usual and my BA dips. Then I would switch to my Good team and all of sudden I am winning and I make WS.
People like Skepple would look at my record and by like he is horrible because a dude like him is so desperate to win that he couldn't conceive of the possibility dudes might not being playing to win every game.
