My concern about Weekend Leagues
-
@GradektheBard_PSN Looks like that’s how it works. Sure you could tank and beat up on worse people, but the rewards won’t be as good.
-
I think the bigger “concern” (and something that affects almost no one) is matching up at the top level. Very few people make that level of ranked and they may struggle to a) find a match and/or b) not play the same people multiple times.
-
Because in the MLB The Show community, people care about their W/L. No ones gonna lose on purpose to get a few low end rewards. This isnt COD where you tank your K/D for a few games to get matched with casuals and wreck [censored].

6-0 at the diamond level will earn you 75,000 stubs, 50 show packs, 2 weekend classic packs, 15 Ballin is a Habit Packs, 2 mystery rewards (at 4 and 5 wins) and 2 88+ live series packs. Coming first on the leaderboard gets you 100 standard packs and 70,000 stubs
6-0 at the Bronze Level 1 earns you 8,000 stubs, 5 show packs, 1 headline pack, 3 Ballin is a habit packs, and a Pipeline pack. Coming in first in the leaderboard at that level only gets you 10 standard packs and no stubs.
There may be a sweet spot to tank your rating down to but it is not too beneficial to tank it too badly.

So it starts towards the end of each Ranked Season. And you have to pretty much win 6 games to get the best rewards.
What's to stop goons, who've already made WS that season, tank their records so they can 'mop up' in Weekend Leagues?
What's to stop goons??? Nothing. Nothing can or will stop a goon. Goons are gonna goon, and that's just how it's always been. It's a goon's world, and we're all just living in it. All us mere mortals miss 100% of the shots we don't take, but goons still somehow are shooting like 70-75% on shots they don't take. And while, yes, it is true that an ungooned life is not worth gooning, it is also goon that all goon and no goon makes goon a goon goon.
I have always depended on the goonness of goons. But never forget: all that glitters is not goon.
I solemnly swear that I am up to no goon.

This reminds me...
How many bogs could Wade Boggs wade if Wade Boggs could wade bogs?
-
The higher you are in ranked you can play in the higher league for that Weekend and get better rewards... if someone opts to "goon" this year they are doing themselves a disservice when that weekend comes... I would call them the "p" word but I'mma chill!

72 on a cross-country flight.

My only concern is what is in those choice packs. I fear we are going back to cards that are earnable only if you are good at online play, which would be an unfortunate regression. I think back to how Nimmo and Senga back to back made me quit for a couple months in 23 because I burned out from grinding stubs.

Every card from Ranked/Weekend Leagues is sellable. There's also the Multiplayer stream within the hour that is supposed to detail the accompanying program. So that even if (like me) you stink at online, you will still be able to grind out the rewards.
-
Okay, the GOAT cards are cool. I can earn the base cards, the .1% get a visual upgrade. Thats fine by me.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Very cool, but yeah I’ll never get one.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN You saw today that the league is based on the highest rank you had. So if you tank from 800 down to say 500 you will still be put in the 800 league
