Aren’t you pretty much able to figure out what difficulty level you’re on after your first few batters have taken their at bats?
I just played my first ranked game of the current season a few hours ago (I was 700) and was able to tell immediately that I was playing on All-Star difficulty. I lead FOTF Buxton off and his PCI is significantly larger on the lower difficulty setting.
I mean, yeah you may not be able to predict with 100 percent accuracy immediately, but it really should only take you a few hitters to figure it out.

If the game is on all star i'm asking for a friendly quit, if I'm the home team it's hard to know until i'm hitting. As has been the case for the last 3 years I will avoid all star at all costs except when I need some stubs so I'll play BR

Why? So elitist blowhards like you can judge everyone’s opinions?
Read the post next time before, throwing in something so irrelevant
I did read it. And I stand by what I said. I’ve seen you do it plenty in the past.
Aww did I hurt your feelings? Go take your soft attitude somewhere else, this is something that's actually needed
Coming from the guy who quit talking to me cause you couldn’t handle a debate with me. Did I hurt your feelings and now you won’t talk to me?? Talk about having a soft attitude....you and your homies. They all ran...lol. WEAK.
You reported me for calling you out for being a cry baby lol, but you’re talking about hurt feelings

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.
Lmao you can say that again. All star is batting practice. My era is probably around a 7 on all star and it’s a 2.33 on games I’ve played on HOF.

I wish I had done what you did and just offered a friendly when I made to DS, now I’m stuck in wildcard playing on all star with every game being 10-11 or something ridiculous like that. I just lost my last game 10-8!and we combineded for 11 home runs, I’m so tired of it

I agree 100%. There's been times I've looked for this and wondered why I can't find it. I liked when we could look at the profile of other players. I even think it'd be cool if we could display our icons and nameplates on the forum. That would help me decide what opinions to value more than others.
-
Wouldn’t a better solution be to just have the game (during the lineups screen) say what level the game is playing at? I’d much rather have an in game solution than having to look up players.

I see both sides...It would be nice to know what difficulty you’re playing on from the first pitch. That being said anytime anybody would give their opinion on here there would immediately be 5 people saying “You’re only 60-45 and in WC, Nobody cares what you think.” Then that would lead to fights. That’s the problem.

Yup, and that's why they got rid of it.

I don’t take records at face value this year lol. I’ve see. Dudes with WS banners and pretty iffy records lol. I’ve always been a above average player and last year I had a win % of 63. This year it’s well below that. Most of that I attribute to playing on all star.

Yeah but isn't that valid? I'm WS level and it's hard for me to know whose opinions to value because you have people saying, "this card rakes" and you don't know if they're grinding conquest on rookie or playing 1100 level unless they tell you.

If someone saw their record and just said to themselves oh this guy doesn’t know then fine. But that’s not how this place was a few year’s back. These threads were full of fighting because people just HAD to shame the lesser than great players for trying to participate in conversation. All that did was lead to non stop counterproductive fighting.

So what you're saying is they censored rather than moderated... got it. I've been around the forums since about '17, so I know what you're talking about. Just making a point.

I agree to an extent. You obviously don’t want to take the opinions of people who have yet to touch HOF difficulty. But at this point the way the game plays I think records are really misleading. I’m struggling to make it out of wild card right now but all last year I was a CS player and made World Series a few times. My win percentage is not even close to what it usually is right now. I think all star difficulty is way too easy to hit. I’ve outhit my opponent in almost every single game I’ve played on all star yet this ranked season I’m only 2 games above .500 with every game being 11-10 or something ridiculous.

Just know your not alone, started on 700, and then fell into all star hell. I’ve been bouncing back and forth from Like 580-680 since it started, trapped in purgatory. It’s too easy to hit with the giant pci and the rng makes way more pitches hang in all-star. Contact swing literally extends out of the zone like a half a foot for fouling. It’s really hard to get someone out, they can sit heat or off speed and just wait out til you hang a few, which you know is going to happen. I stopped caring about my record, it’s still above 500 but with all the fielding c.rap and the all-star hell, I don’t even care. I just play to have fun now, win or loss , and take the good w the bad. I just wish we could agree to hof difficulty, if both parties don’t agree than you default to whatever the rank is

Sure, that's fine, I don't care what it is. Just want to know what I'm playing on.
