Remove All Star difficulty from Ranked Seasons
-
I love how the answer is always to tell 90% of the player base to take a hike instead of actually fixing the problem.

You should change the title of the post to “I’ve never taken an intro to business class, but listen to my opinions on business operations”.
I’m talking from a competitive perspective, not a business perspective
But that's the thing, you can't just consider it from a competitive perspective.

Based on the current season there are roughly 170,000 players on all star and about 10,000 on HoF. So it's more than 90%. If anything they should get rid of Hall of Fame. Though that would be equally absurd.

I’m guessing there’s a lot of people that don’t enjoy 1-0 games with 50 strikeouts. Glad I’m not alone.

I’m not elite by any means, but I make WS every season so I’d say I’m above average. Doesn’t change my point that AS difficultly reduces the skill gap significantly. I’ve lost many games that i should have never lost but did because of the things I mentioned in the first paragraph
I’m not debating your points. I’m just saying we are all in the same boat. I agree with the others. It makes more sense to just fix All Star, rather than to do away with it.
Also, not to be that guy, but by your numbers this year, ERA 5.13 and WHIP 1.24 you are the definition of average. You’re obviously a better than average hitter at .310 so climbing through AS shouldn’t be that tough?

I would love it if AS was fixed. Unfortunately I believe it’s designed to be that way.
As far as my stats, go check out the top of the leaderboards in ranked and you’ll see my ERA is right on par with some of the top players. Not that it matters really, I’m just saying

So why shouldn’t somebody that’s not good be able to play on a difficulty that suits them best? Did they not spend the same amount of money on the game as you? Sounds like a very poor business model to only cater to players that are good.

I’ll admit that it’s extreme and unrealistic to remove AS from ranked. I know that it’s needed to keep the majority of the player base that doesn’t play on HOF/legend difficulty.
However I would like to see HOF difficulty begin at 600 instead of 700. I think that is much more realistic of a change that wouldn’t upset too many people

There's a lot of people who don't like Mr. Belvedere either, you can't please everyone.

No doubt. At the WS level everyone has a 5+ ERA and hits about .367.

Dude.
You'd lose a huge amount of the player base, myself included. You'd end stuck playing literally the best players in RS as that's all that would be left.
Alot of players already struggle on Allstar, myself included. HOF difficulty with games decided by a solo homerun and 50 strikeouts will absolutely kill RS and possibly the game entirely for people who are just starting out.
-
Im thinking start making everything Hall of Fame so no one but the best players can play half of the modes
How about making things a sliding scale and someone like me can play someone who is as good or slightly better?
-
Personally, I'd probably avoid playing many ranked seasons games if it wasn't for all the programs requiring the Online missions. Most of that is just for time reasons. I can usually sit and play in half hour spurts but getting an hour is kinda hard much less playing multiple games in one night. I also know I'm not that good because I get obliterated in Battle Royale.

All star difficulty has no place in ranked seasons. RS is supposed to be a competitive mode, not a cesspool of randomness. Its ridiculous how many hits come as a result of poor user input, and how many outs come as a result of good user input. If you wanna play on AS difficulty, it should be in a mode where winning doesn't effect your ranking/rewards.
Sorry, but if you're not good at the game, you shouldn't be catered to. That's exactly what AS difficulty is, catering to those who either don't put the time in to get better or simply suck. I don't care if this comes off as elitist. You can have no skill at still win against far superior players on AS difficulty. That is the exact opposite of what ranked seasons in supposed to be.
You realize that people arent good at this game and dont sweat and just play this game for fun.

Then have a mode that is strictly for fun where you can play online against other people who just want to have fun. To me, competition is fun, and AS difficulty is not competitive.
I've said in a previous comment that I understand AS will never be removed. However HOF should start at 600 as opposed to 700. Then you people who love AS so much can still play the mode and people like me who hate it won't have to play on AS

Imagine living in a world where you don't like something that displays the talents of Mr. Baseball himself. Probably the same type of person who is like "Vegan cheese is real cheese!" when it's clearly not.

Looking at just the top 18 for lifetime rankings, 10 have a worse ERA than me. Like I said before, this obviously doesn't matter, but you're just wrong on that point

I made world series last year, great, I bet you did too with stats that are "similar to the best" When your era is north of 4. Like when the season resets you start at 700, which is hof so you never play all-star when the season resets. If you don't have to deal with it, then why you bitching

Lol that's not how it works. You don't start seeing an overwhelming majority of your games in HOF till like about 760+. The meter scales both ways it doesn't just search for matches above your rating, and AS goes up to 699 so figured this was obvious.
