    Waaaaah, I don’t get credit for my 5th home run with Posada. You’re clearly better than me and I’m not gonna let you pad stats, I don’t care if you call me a “censored”, I’ll dashboard as soon as you hit the ball.

    And I believe if the game was in better condition this transaction wouldn't even occur. The game needs to feel rewarding and polished to keep people from quitting. The issue isn't "penalize quitters and dashboarders", it's polish and quality for the game. Playing game after game after game of P5 HoF stacked teams smacking the [censored] out of your perfect pitches isn't a polished and rewarding game.

    The real solution to this is simple. you create 2 levels of WS. Those for players who are decent to good but aren't hit the ball 100 mph every swing. Same reward different levels of cards. When you make a choice to join the upper or lower tier, that's where you are for that season. This will take care of the top tier players who want that 99 instead of that 95, come down and beat up the lower-level players. you'll see way less dashboarding in ranked. if you're Dashboarding in B/R that's a you thing, you're spending your stubs. Events who cares. RS would be a lot more enticing to players who don't want to take the chance to get their stuff pushed in.

    That's not a bad idea. Would really need to see it in practice but sounds fine.
    To add to that, not to change debate, but ranked games shouldn't be a different difficulty every rank. That makes an impact. Offline is one thing and playing against bots you should have the ability to fluctuate difficulties. But against players......there should be a standard. Just put everyone on legend or HoF and you'd see a difference.

    I think the problem is that people who dont really want to play online are playing online because there is a ton of xp and some good cards locked behind it.

    If they made an offline version of ranked programs a lot (of course not all) of the habitual quitters would play that instead

    SDS needs to stop with the outdated way of thinking about online play. Stop trying to push people to play it, instead let the players that enjoy it seek it out. That will improve the overall experience for everyone (well, except those who live to run up the score on people that would rather not play online)

    @Teak2112_MLBTS It used to be that way. People don’t buy stubs to play offline. It’s all about money.

    How do you know people dont buy stubs to play offline? There are single player games that make very close to 1 billion per year off people gambling for characters they dont even need to clear content.

    And how would pushing people to play online increase stubs sales? Player skill matters far too much in this game. You can't buy your way to world series (unless you pay someone to play for you).

    I think they simply havent figured out how to get people to buy stubs yet, and I dont suspect the season format has been their answer either.

    @Teak2112_MLBTS I’m sure people buy stubs who exclusively play offline. I’d bet money that people who play online buy the vast majority of stubs though because it’s more competitive than playing the computer. I don’t know that for certain. It’s just a logical conclusion.

    The people who are good at the game can make stubs more easily. The people who aren't get very little competitive benefit from buying stubs.

    Its collector whales that likely buy the most stubs, regardless of if they play on online or offline. These people have money to burn and and dont give a [censored].

    @Teak2112_MLBTS I’m maybe a little above average at this game and I’m sitting on at least 10 million in stubs and dupes. It helps to be a top player, but it’s not as significant as you’re suggesting. My skill has nothing to do with how I made those stubs.
