Why isn't the rating next to the person's name on the opening screen? Have that and their record. That way there's no need to have to jump on TSN to try to find their rating -- keep it all in one place.
100% agreed

That's something I wouldn't have a problem with at all. It's just a simple user interface request I think it's reasonable to ask for SDS to do that.

Because the entire system enabled disgusting behavior from people like Skepple. Plus its meaningless. For example last year and even this year. I would do Affinity innings with some crappy players just to rack up innings. I would take way more Ls than usual and my BA dips. Then I would switch to my Good team and all of sudden I am winning and I make WS.
People like Skepple would look at my record and by like he is horrible because a dude like him is so desperate to win that he couldn't conceive of the possibility dudes might not being playing to win every game.

Fill me in please. Where did you see the level in the past? I've never noticed. The only way I could tell that we matched up HOF was the pci size.
Way back in the day you used to be able to see records/batting average/rating on guys universal profiles on the site and then they started taking stuff away, last year you could only see rating, now you can’t see anything
I gotcha. I remember seeing people's profiles, just never applied it to anybody I was currently matched up with. The only time I use this site is when i'm away from the game.

That's why I'm not 100% behind it being accessible on the website. Or, at least, have an opt-out option.
If it's on the opening screen when you match up with someone, then it's all good, I think.
But, you know, that would leave the door open for SDS to screw something else up with this game. Save it for next year, I guess.

Yea, they started taking things away from it because some people don’t like having their stats seen, if it’s not on the site that’s fine with me, just put the rating on the opening screen of the match where it shows record, that’s the easiest and best solution, I just want to play on hall of fame as much as I can and avoid all star

Same is true for him. He doesn't use it in game. He uses it so he can put down people who have a different opinion. His favorite tool is now gone so he can't put down your opinion as easily. He has to argue on his own merits. And when he can't...well...in my case he ignored me. Probably for the better.

Hey if people quote mav I can still see what he says, interesting.
If I wanted trash someone for their record I can literally do that right now by looking it up in the game... not really relevant to what’s wanted here.

Seems like it would be a simple solution.
For sure, put it up on the opening screen beside your record, or even take the record out and just have the rating there, it would probably cut down on the number of friendly quits that get asked for, win-win

The funny thing is that I know he doesn't have me on ignore. But I will play along. I am happy to. When I was reversing the participation trophy stuff and applying it to his real life I sort of felt bad. But them my hysterical laughter at it made it feel better. There is something about that level of undeserved arrogance that bothers me. But its cool because I think I set him straight.

I don't know what's more cringe
Him thinking people should be able to make WS playing on Veteran.
Or
Him thinking he "owned" anyone in this thread.
Yikes. Thanks for the laughs though.

First off. I am saying peeps should be able to make WS in multiple ways that allow them to enjoy the game and also compete. No different than how some make it using zone, zone analog or timed only
Secondly, My God...I normally thinking owning someone on a website is pathetic. But dude was coming at me about participation trophies and now I have him rethinking is career. Its embarrassing and admittedly cringe worthy...but you can't possibly say that despite his attempts to try to insult he ended up getting the worst end of the stick. I gave his entire career a participation trophy. [censored] son.

The game should just have a matchmaking option that says I want to play on "this" difficulty. Period. Shouldn't be that hard.
I agree. You should be able to make WS playing on any difficulty and match make based on difficulty chosen independent of difficulty. In this way, you can play at whatever difficulty is more fun. Maybe with the ability to earn more points with a higher difficulty win. If it’s about competition it won’t matter the difficulty as long as it is the same as the opponent and equal playing ground.
You should be able to make it to world series only playing on veteran? Bad take..
Yes, because it makes it more accessible to more people and you will be playing on veteran vs a higher caliber player AND playing on veteran won’t yield as many pts in a win so it will take longer.
I bet you’ve never played competitive sports in your life. This is an awful take. Ranked season is a competitive format. It’s accessible to everyone who makes their way up.
This thought process makes me cringe.
Actually i have. At a very elite level. That might be why I don’t have the need to demonstrate my specialness via a video game. In real sports you don’t change entire rules as you move up. Do we make the mind closer. No. Not to mention this just a simulation
This isn’t about proving specialness at all. I could care less what people think about myself as a player. I want to play a game that is challenging and rewards good input, while also being competitive.
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you define as an “elite level”? I’m genuinely curious because your thoughts align with someone who believes in participation trophies.
Elite level in my case is beating Olympians in practice and almost Olympians in completion. But to me elite is what you make of it. If someone says they are elite...ok cool you are elite.
I agree with
I don’t think that I or anyone should dictate what your gaming experience is. If you like the highest difficulty setting go for it. I just don’t think anyone should dictate to me. All completion is fair as long as the same setting is applied to all parties.What Olympic type events did you participate in? Just genuinely curious.
We all have different opinions on gameplay. I don’t find your approach to be efficient, and I don’t think the rewards that are obtainable should be accessible to people who just play on easier difficulties. There should be challenges, you should lose games.
The ranked seasons format isn’t catered to elites. It’s widely accessible to those people who take on the challenge of making the push. They can decide for themselves if it’s worth it. If not, there are plenty of other modes to play!

Relax, there have been plenty of other options brought up to work around having the ratings on the website, have ratings show at the beginning of the game instead of record etc.
If someone wanted to look up your record, it not being on the website wouldn't stop them.

@skepple15 said in Opponent rating:
Go back to letting us see our opponents ratings on this website, the game plays so different on HOF and All star we need to know what level we're playing on, this was a dumb feature to take away because some low level players got upset when people would search up their ratings.
Did not know this was taken away, I am a low level player the last two year highest I got last year was DS and highest so far this year is PR. I play for fun. I do not care if someone knows my rating. I am not afraid if I get killed by someone better than me. If I am losing by 4 or more I will usually just quit. I never look up a players rating.
