They can't even program the game correctly where everything is handled the same, and you're asking for them to code separate cores of gameplay for different modes?

I agree it wouldn’t probably work out, but in my opinion they could readily access the core gameplay with true user input being rewarded, no outer pci, no foul tips etc….

SDS can have it both ways - just add a "recreational" version of RS and make the current RS input-based where "stick skills reign supreme".

Comp:

• More Input-Based Results
• Rewards are buffed (packs, stubs, XP etc for reaching Wild Card, DS, CS and WS)
• Difficulties progress as you advance
• Record gets kept and visible to opponents

Recreational

• Causal gaming with the level of RNG we're experiencing now.
• Rewards for reaching new divisions are less than Comp version, no player rewards like WS.
• Maybe overall team rating limit of 93? Maybe 6 innings?
• Veteran and All-Star difficulties
• Losses result in less of a "decrease" in rating, so if you grind out wins you can make the higher divisions.
• record can be viewed like events, but doesn't show up on your team screen when loading into game, resets each season in leader boards.

I don't always have the time, energy, or stress management levels to play a full game of zeroed-in laser-focus RS, but would love to get some practice or casual at bats in with my top players.

That way people can choose if they wanna play w the pros for the buffed rewards, or practice in the rec version for lesser-ish awards.

Not sure how anyone could object to this, people would self-select which mode they want to play without being limited to full 9-inning RS games on certain difficulties.

Maybe they'd have a HOF and All-Star option so you could practice. Sucks that I have to switch between HOF and All-Star cold turkey here and there since I'm in Division Series and hover between the two.

There's already a casual online mode.
