    Oh I'm sure it's causing indecent players to lose as well. Someone's gotta lose after all, there are no ties in baseball.

    I know that too I'm just trying to prove a point. The players that aren't that good can deal with losses but not as well as those with higher expectations. Not trying to say that they won't get upset but it's just not as bad to someone that has more skill

    So what you're saying is some people need to lower their expectations? I agree!

    For everyone upset at getting screwed over use this post to rant. When the game chooses to [censored] you over theres nothing you can do. Friday i will be trying out alec bohm and along with enjoying using gavin lux more to enioy myself on ranked seasons while ignoring my 701 rating and 18 and 18 record this season. Again I am 18 and 18 and I was one of the best players in the game last year. Ignore the trolls that defend the game. You can still have fun. Switch up the lineup. We are all dealing with the same bs.

    Sorry but if you are 18 and 18 there is not a possible way for you to be one the best players this year, last year or any other previous year. I hardly play, don't consider myself the best neither a top player and I have never had such a bad record. To be decent at this game you'll have to win at least 2 out of 3 games. If you don't, you are just another one from the bunch.

    Had a 13 hit game only scoring 3 runs in events. Dead center pci balls not going anywhere. Lost on 2 errors in the bottom of the 10th by gold fielders on routine plays. Opponent sent apology after bc he knew he didn’t deserve that win. Taking a couple days off for sanity reasons after that one

    Look it's hard to believe that one of the best players in the game is now .500, most people maintain a somewhat similar record year to year despite game flaws

    At first, I didn’t understand your post, so I popped it into google translate, and apparently, it says “WHENEVER I PLAY I DESERVE TO WIN!”

    I'm a terrible player and my record is significantly worse than it usually is this year, so I'm still waiting for all this RNG that supposedly helps out inferior players to hook me up with a few extra wins. Come on SDS, just a little nudge to get me back to .500! lol

    Does RNG influence things? I don't know, maybe. If does then i say so what? That just puts The Show in an exclusive little club called ALMOST EVERY SPORTS VIDEO GAME EVER MADE!

    Yeah if you’re 18-18 you’re just not as good as you think you are. The game has issues but everyone is dealing with them. The best players are always the best players

    I have tried but throwing every pitch down the middle of the plate gets old. Even switching things up don't help. I think I am 34-18 but haven't played a RS game in a while and don't plan to any time soon. Trying to stomach the events to build my team hoping they fix pitching (which is BY FAR the worst I have seen in the series). I'm not going to hold my breath. The fix for pitching and defense is connections, not coding. They didn't code this stupid $h!+ into the game. All the people with Walmart internet started playing.

    Get mediocre internet and just wait for the meatballs. You don't want good or really bad internet. Mediocre is the key.

    Well i can tell you it definitely feels like this game is loaded with RNG. I was playing events earlier and had a total of 19 hits and only was able to score 3 runs. Every time I had runners in scoring position it would get shafted with the good/ok’s. I hit a change up down the middle from a common righty pitcher with Juan soto middle of the pci for a good/ok. Next AB i hit a walk off with my common catcher with 26 contact and 46 power against righties.

    Just a background I have been playing MLBTS since 15. Went 12-0 in every game since 16 and made world series consistently. I dont have the will to endure online games in this years game filled with RNG to try to even make it to WS

    Lol my 18 - 18 is my season record. I'm 25 games over 500. This is one of my worst seasons. I made it to 873 last season. I told you I'm an above average player

    Read the full post. I'm 25 games over 500. I fell into a huge slump because of the stupid [censored] that happens in almost every game that would get me annoyed so when i force myself through it, I don't play like myself.

    You’re kidding, right? You have more skill therefore losing is harder for you?
    Maybe you’re just not as good as you thought. We’re all dealing with the same game here.

    Lol please don't take it like that. I'm trying to say that I'm an above average player. I'm not elite. I always play extremely well on hof and rarely lose. Sometimes i get out of all star quickly where other seasons it'll take some time.

    It does. By applying more rng it can influence user input in both pitching and hitting by just a little bit which can influence close games. For example i could square up a hanging slider down the middle with someone over 95 power in a 2 - 2 game on hof in the 8th inning and it won't leave and die at the wall where the very next inning my opponent can be very late, jammed, and get a rbi double down the line. Thats called rng. The fact that i didn't get a homer or a single run for my skills vs someone messing up on a pitch and getting rewarded means that apparently they have the better hitting skills and deserve the run more.

    @XiX_85 said in Rng is causing decent players to lose in Ranked Seasons:

    What is RNG?

    Random number generator. Too much rng can over value user input results meaning you may get a chance of a more random outcome or a higher chance at a bad one over user input that should give you a higher chance at success. So like squaring up a pitch down the middle in a game where you need the runs may be a 50/50 chance at you getting the hit to land instead of a high 85 percent chance depending on how the game is going. Your opponent may be getting runs and hits off of bad user input and you could be getting unlucky getting 4 to 5 squared outs or a double instead of your homerun

    I’m sorry, but I’m really not understanding your point. You’re pretty much playing.500 ball this season and are 20 games over on the year. Losing is harder on you?

    I’m really not following your meaning.
