<![CDATA[How is Ranked vs Events?]]>I just started playing online this year and mainly just events.

I haven't started Ranked because it was really toxic last time I did ranked but that was like MLB 18/19.

Is Ranked more stressful than Events? I am finding events very fun and the players are not yet elite level.

You lose in ranked you lose ranking points, your record takes a hit & you then have to make up for the loss….Whereas events you just restart after a loss, no harm no foul.

i'm a little older than you but that's what worry's me about ranked. last time i tried it, it wasn't even baseball. it was just people expoliting the game to win. it was a terrible experience.
