Does Ranked Seasons fill anyone else with misery?

It’s the worst. In About 90% of my games, the pitch speeds are so fast I can barely react. The other 10%, I could face the exact same pictures, the pitch speeds are normal and everything plays fine. All of the games are sweaty except for the ones where I’ll randomly give up 15 runs in an inning and pretty much pitch a shutout the rest of the game. And honestly, I have more confidence in my common pitchers, and I can hit my spots better in events that I do with my high 90s pitchers in ranked.

I literally have to convince myself to play and start the grind to make WS. Every time I’m “searching for an opponent” I’m just enveloped in a deep, gloomy depression. It just is not fun anymore. And I absolutely love the game of baseball, so it hurts my heart to say that. But I’m super competitive and as soon as something as game-changing as RNG or unfair advantages or disadvantages impedes that competitiveness, I find the experience becomes incredibly cheapened. I’ve come to realize this is not how I should be feeling playing a baseball game I used to love. I realize this is now the reality of online gameplay for most games, so in that sense, at least I know I’m not alone in experiencing all the “BS”, as the young whippersnappers like to say. I just miss the days when true skill won the day. But it seems that mediocrity is just the way of the world these days, and that’s a darned shame. Good luck everyone.
P.S. I’m not a boomer.
You're not alone at all.

Feels like a good time to bump this

I’ve been playing since ‘15. When I started, I was all about online. Wouldn’t even think of playing offline. I remember one year I played over 600 online games. Now, I think I’ve only played 100 and much prefer player programs than playing online. The game plays so much worse/differently online than off. Don’t like it anymore!

Ranked rewards poor input and allows bad players to win games they shouldn’t. I’m in my 2nd year of online and I played a lot last year and in the beginning of this year to be good with pci placement. The game is a joke on hof and lower. The ring decides most games not talent

If you’re a lot better than your opponent then you will win. Otherwise it’s a fifty minute coin flip

Very well said. People will say that that’s how it should be, and they might be right. But when you are evenly matched with your opponent, that’s when you really notice how much the stuff that’s out of your control impacts the outcome.
