i don't think it's unfair to say i love winning and i love winning big but i do understand why you'd think i don't respect my opponents given how i worded my first post
I also like winning, I also like winning big, I also like to hit 20+ HRs in every game...
...all of those I do pretty much every game...
...offline vs CPU of course.
You came in here sounding like you destroy your opponents like I destroy the CPU on Rookie!
There are a lot of people who come in here to brag about how great they are and embellish a lot of their accomplishments or how bad of an upset caused by some coding in the game (and not because of their mistakes in pitching, hitting, fielding, or game management). This happens quite frequently. Frequently enough where some on here will look at their game history and find that they are greatly exaggerating and some just flat out lie.
I want you to enjoy the game, because we are playing a video game which is supposed to be enjoyed. Play the game the way that makes it most fun for you.

It’s just a video game so who cares what you or anyone else likes to do.
All the top 10 players mostly play Rookie / Rookie.
I used to be Veteran / Veteran and played in some leagues that were Legend / HOF and I held my own but it felt more lucky to win than skilled.
I’m now ranked inside the top 40 after switching to Rookie/Rookie to compete with the top guys.
I play for the leaderboard more so than for my opponent.
My real hope is that one day they upgrade Online Rated and make it fair across the board by only allowing one level of play OR have multiple leaderboards per rank style.
The mismatching level stuff just gives people more options to feel comfortable playing but end up getting abused by cheesers so the only way to catch them is to play the lower levels yourself.
It’s a video game, it is what it is.

So in online rated you can play at a lower difficulty level than your opponent?? How does that work

️There are players that will purposefully tank their rating by quitting a bunch of games just so that they can go up against lesser opponents.

i am well over .500, not sure what you're talking about
Again, looking at your game history, I definitely do not think you are "kicking the __ out of scrubs" when your game history shows your last ten games (as of 6/25/2023 3:16PM PDT):
- 6-11 L
- 10-9 W
- 3-2 W
- 9-8 L
- 3-1 W
- 6-2 L
- 3-2 L
- 2-0 W
- 5-3 W
- 9-8 W
You may have had a 6-4 record in your L10, but your biggest win was by two runs in three different games and the other three wins was by one run. Your losses was by five runs, four runs, and two games by one run. Your run differential is -2, as in NEGATIVE TWO. So how is that "kicking the __ out of scrubs"?
yes the whole point is that when i play on all star, as those games were played on, i don't play as well and thus have less fun
i'm looking to strike a good balance of competition, fun, and respect for my opponents
if you are looking for balance ,it looks like you found it at the All Star level if those games were on all star. Nothing about wanting to beat the tar out of your opponent every game screams balance and competition

I wish there was a setting above Legend with slightly faster pitch speeds for me.
There is it’s called anything online where this guy who enjoys playing on Veteran would absolutely clap your cheeks together because even that’s faster than offline legend xoxo

Every gamer is like this now tbh. The fact that “skill based match making is killing videogames” sometimes starts trending is evidence enough.
There is a small select few who do choose to compete against the best and enjoy it, they just normally don’t pick a game with as much RNG and much higher prize pools. The amount of CPU missions this year totally turned me away from the game. I can crack the code against the CPU in any game relatively quickly. Playing against someone of my skill is what I find fun. That said in this game id also need to spend as much as said person with the same skill level so this truly isn’t the game for competition. Just hit some dingers and don’t take it to seriously. You’d have to change your name to the canuckler or some other cringy [censored] [censored]

Let’s play an online game of regs? No dynasty just regs, we’ll play on legend because that’s as high as we can go online, it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

I've never played online ever on my life, are you able to adjust pitch speeds sliders maxed to 10? Cause I'm not playing on default, it's way too slow. Also, there are a few more Sliders I want to adjust, like baserunning speeds and fielder reactions time so I can make the gameplay realistic cause default Sliders are incorrect.

Should be no issue for you then to beat me. I never play regs and am willing to play regs to beat you. Shouldn’t be an issue for an easy win if the default legend pitch speeds are too slow.

This is where you're wrong again DD newb sauce, having to play at default pitch speeds would be super hard and it will take like 200 at bats to adjust at that snales pace. Like when an actual major leaguer who's been in mid season form to hit 95-100 mph fast balls then all of a sudden he has to face a Kunkleballer that day.....its not gonna be a good time. I see you're Canadian, come to my house and we'll play....Legend with maxed pitch speeds and realistic simulated Sliders, you'll see how different it is from DD acrady gameplay. I'll prepare hot pockets and chill some red bulls for you, I myself will be having fancy cheeses and a latte from Tim Hortons.

You’re a fraud. I offered to play you regular rosters on the highest difficulty and you’re too scared to play. Every time I see a comment from you on this forum I’m linking back to this thread so everyone can see you’re a fraud.

Is that in Canadians currency or American? Better not be DD sub currency or whatever you DD people use in the game.

This is basically normal attitude for online play, but why get swelled up over it or downtrodden either ? Too many factors besides a players skillcome into play. One player has a monitor using pin point pitching vrs a guy without a monitor has noted advantage Controller accessories come involved. Lag , crossplay not to mention other [censored] guys are using and using they are. Settings are too diverse .And matchmaking tricks also. Multiple accounts Freeze glitching .The list goes on .How can you seriously put anystock in the stats online play produces? You cant is a farce usually enjoy by the gifted control jockeys or the ones with technical advantages Gentleman not all of us can be YouTube heroes.

And one more note regarding online play ,about the only time I get a 9 inning game in is if Im behind in the score, get 2 runs up the gone. Ridiculous. Not played it much tthis year but it hasnt changed

Give it a rest dude, I don't play DD or Online...its inherently wrong with trying to play a simulated game of video game baseball. Something as fielding speeds could affect gameplay is a very drastic way. Listen, I'm not like 99% of players of The Show, I play on the hardest level the game allows plus I do extensive testing to yield realistic results and game play with Slider testing. This forum is littered with casuals and newbs and DD guys, Operation Sports is where all the simulated Franchise guys hang out and talk about the realistic side of the Show instead of here where its a DD guy complaining about stub sales or how the patch messed up his hitting with 99 Legend players, half of them dead. Half of you probably don't realize there is a slider settings in the game, so please don't associate me with your typical The Show guy that plays online arcade baseball. Now where is my [censored] latte!
