I hit 803 in 17 but that’s about it. Too much RNG this year to go that far in my estimation. Based on my ability anyway. But for my age my 26-10 record isn’t bad lol
What’s your age?
65 and in my prime

I'm trying. Got to 720 tonight and beat a guy (with a little (a lot) of RNG help) who was 140-40. Weird side note- I looked him up and saw he played @mitchhammond24 recently. It was cool seeing a forum member's name I recognized in someone else's game log.
After that thrilling game, got my [censored] handed to me by another good player. Unlocked Griffey tonight, so all is good for the WS run
interesting haha who won between me and that guy? I’m sure I lost lol. I’ve been losing a lot lately : /

I think he beat you in an event or br game or something. I clicked on your name and was blown away by your DD stats.

I’m with you. I think I’m capable of making it too I’ve just never nearly played enough games. I’m also of yhe belief that any above average player can make WS with enough games played. I’ve beating some “WS” players pretty handily and they have had 2000 games played. Enough games and anyone can get there IMO

I try to make WS every season but reality hits and the highest I can hit is 600. Soo close...NOT!
-
im trying man im always trying to make upgrades and tinker with my lineup for RS. I topped out at low 700s this year(my first playing DD).

I think that’s the mindset I’m going with. Like I said, I’ve never really committed to it. I’m challenging myself to just stay above 500 once I get to ds. It’s just a matter of whether or not I can get enough games in and if I can actually win more than I lose.

I’m giving WS a shot for the first time this month because of Mays. Usually I play RS at the end of each RS just to get the 10 RS wins for the Inning program. Tried getting to CS this past season for the first time, which I did and was pretty happy about. Up to 787 right now and just hoping to go +1 in the win column everyday that I play. I’m not good enough to compete with legit WS guys so I’ll need to get lucky with matchups.
I always thought a good strategy was to try and win 2 out of 3 every day. If you win the first two, you stop. If you lose the first two you stop. At most you play 3.
-
My singular goal in this game is to get to WS, but never get close. Was in the 800’s multiple times last year but haven’t even gotten there this year (if did, it was early on). Any sort of programs or affinity stuff I do is simply to make my squad better (I don’t grind, but do all the easy stuff like the showdowns and maps).
But in the end, I’m afraid I just swing at too many bad balls to get to WS. Can’t help myself. Love the challenge, love the excitement of last minute wins, hate when I choke away games late, but keep getting back in the saddle. -
I’d like to... capped out at 877 so far. Not sure if it’s possible with my connection. Some days I can’t lose, others I can’t hit. These random games with “warping” pitch speeds really do me in as my hitting is shut down. Thinking it’s my internet.

Hello! I have a similar record in Ranked Seasons, at 22-8. I've never tried Ranked Seasons before this year. I maxed out CPU pitcher velocity for batting practice sliders a couple of months back, but the pitch speeds in Ranked Seasons still seem so much faster. I'd enjoy making World Series before 2021's game comes out, but I'm not sure how many Ranked Seasons games I should play and expect to win per week until then.

Well I decided to play an extra game with the day off tomorrow and lost after I refused a friendly quit in the first. Serves me right I guess.
Overall, went 1-3 tonight and am back in pennant race. Interestingly enough I hit the ball decently well. Just couldn’t get anyone out.
I hope everyone else played better than I did.

WS is like Gehrig to me. Neither exist.

Went 2 and 1 last night. Stopped at 3 bc I wasn't hitting well. Played a BR game and the offense got going. Think I am going to try to limit myself to 3 RS games a night and see how that goes
-
Toughest part is when you lose on what u think is last game of night, then say screw it i can win one more and end night on win.... then lose

That’s what I did last night. Like @sbevans142 said above and I said in an earlier post...when I’m smart I limit myself to three games per sitting. When I’m not smart I usually lose.

I’m in wild card and am definitely seeing the ball better. But, the competition is starting to get a little better. I’m hoping to be solidly in ds by the end of the weekend.
