Should there be more divisons in RS?
-
I was wondering that perhaps a way to better separate the weaker players from the very dominant players, but still giving the middle of the pack players a chance to be competitive.
Perhaps something like this:
Rookie: Same as now
Sub Veteran: Somewhere between rookie and veteran
Veteran: Same as now
Sub All Star: Somewhere in between veteran and all star
All Star: Same as now
Sub HOF: Somewhere between All star and HOF
HOF: Same as now
Almost legend: somewhere between HOF and Legend
Legend: Same as nowI know many of the elites and their "get gud" attitude won't like it because they enjoy humiliating scrubs to bloat their stats and feed their ego, but I feel like if I get lucky and win a couple of games I am suddenly thrown to the wolves in the next level with a massive increase in pitch speed and movement.
Maybe by giving significantly better rewards for the higher tiers would make it more worth their time to play this way.
-
In my opinion, no. It's already hard enough to bounce around between All-Star, HOF and Legend with the different parameters, adding more to that would make it even harder to get consistent at one particular level.
-
Dont now if this has any bearing on your question. But I think once you hit a certain level; you can no longer drop to the level below UNTIL the new season starts.
This can possibly help people from tanking just to play at a lower level.

That's also a bad idea. Many people grind to 900 just to make WS for the rewards, but have no intention of playing on Legend. If you wanna tank, you should be free to do so.

Rookie and Veteran should be All Star difficultly. Everything else should be HOF, and make the top 100 or 200 players play on Legend.

This is actually a good idea.

- All-Star is too hard for newcomers or low-skilled-players. They should have fun too
- The top players should have something to grind for too. What goal should they have? Play against themselves? I like the idea of lower-skilled-players battle them (and maybe beat them on the higher-levels under legend)

The top players play for a top spot on the leaderboards. Making top 50 also nets them a special icon. They don't care about any other rewards, they just wanna compete against each other. Has always been that way, will always be that way.

Once you hit WS and get the rewards is there any other reason to play?

So in other words only the "elite" should be allowed in RS?
Why would I buy a game where I need to compete in levels significantly over my ability in order to acquire players for collections that I will never be able to get?

Ranked Seasons is the highest skilled game mode. It needs to be treated as such. If you cant learn HOF then don't play Ranked. Go play events.
For years I've completed pretty much every collection, and have obtained nearly every card In the game without making World Series or even touching Ranked.

For the innings to get the other WS reward and other than that bragging rights to see if you can get in the top ten/fifty/hundred or whatever.

Imo it should be 0-500 Allstar 500-1000 HOF, 1000+ Legend. WS still at 900. The window where the game is played on HOF is far too small as it is, and over half of the players that make world series quit RS for the month after doing so because legend is only really meant for the true goons

Except ranked is also the only rewarded mode where you can use whatever team you like online, you know the whole point of building a team

How does this correlate with anything you're quoting?

Leaving the only online mode with rewards using your whole team gatekeeped to HOF isn't good for the user base or SDS. Ranked season is the main reason people buy cards and buy stubs

Yes? Most upper tier level people make WS in a few days after the new season start. But not everyone wants to play on Legend for the rest of the season. That's why I said I think your idea isn't good. People should be able to tank if that's what they want to do. I certainly don't mind running into people who are tanking. Free Ws. I'll take those.

No, there are too many divisions now. I would rather have no divisions in RS. The gameplay varies too much within the divisions and the various pitch speeds make pitch recognition and timing more difficult than it needs to be.

So same pitch speeds for every division? I like that. Sounds like 17 to me

Nope. I follow a lot of them on twitch/yt. They tell something different … Are you a top player?
I would like to play them, therefore I would not lock them out from „the mediocre guys“.
I had AlexGAKill against me in ranked. It was a lot of fun playing him (he declined my friendly
and offered me one after the 5th inning with a 0-0 score :).It is okay for me having them at World Series Level playing against themselves … but they gotta earn it and one day I will beat one of them
