Does anyone enjoy all star ranked seasons?
-
@Blaiseblaise_MLBTS that’s been me way too often. I’m raging most of the time all playing ranked so that’s my sign to just put the game down.
-
All-Star for me is such hit-or-miss. For me, it depends on the connection with my opponent.
That's more or less it for me. Some days I'm tracking pitches and slapping the ball all over the field, other days it feels like I'm constantly behind everything
Why I am staying in the 5 maybe 600's. I either need Ohtani or a good solid connection every game. Connection is feeling way better since I adjusted the upload/download speed. Still some issues here and there but not near as many

Meaning there is no need for casuals that cannot make world series to play ranked
I’d put myself in the casual ranked class meaning I love playing ranked and I don’t mind being bad at it. I play a ton though and have a lot of time to play the game - so only speaking for myself - but the ranked program to me is totally worth my time for the rewards on the track. Takes me a lot of time to get them but it’s fun to me to play people rather than AI. It’s so much more fun, even if I get trounced.

@JenkinMeyer_PSN I hear you. But wouldnt it be nice not to have to play so sweaty every game? I think we all agree taking out the ranked and battle royale stat programs was a bad move to say the least.

Yeah I think I’d agree with that. I feel it wouldn’t be as “sweaty” if their matchmaking was better - meaning let the elite players play elite players at all times instead of letting them trounce us T-Ballers.
Make their rewards better - but letting similarly ranked players play each other makes it so much more fun for all.
That way the bunt dancers and people batting 0.400 are playing themselves instead of forcing us casuals to watch every cutscene and be generally trolled.
I put it in the survey but they really strongly need to make matchmaking better
-
That’s the whole point of all star difficulty. It’s not as hard as hof and you can’t still be rewarded somewhat. Why would they make its impossible on the probably the most common level people are on for online Dd.
-
I don’t mind it for early divisions getting started each year, but slogging from 300-700 in all star is ridiculous. world Series at 800 is perfect but hof needs to start at 600, not 700
-
I'm just annoyed no one throws strikes away from the corners at all unless they miss...besides me it seems. Like yeah I try and work the corners, but I'll throw one in a good part of the zone, just something I feel will throw them off. Mostly works too.
-
I'd really like a 3 or 5-inning mode that affects your Rank. I loathe getting into 9-inning games. Slow, lagging mess - at least if Im trapped, id rather it be shorter.

@rubicante23_PSN naaa,ranked has to be a full game. Events are good for this. But I would love a theme team event or mode where you could only select players who played on one team and go against other theme teams only. Weather it a longer reoccurring event or its own “theme team” ranked style mode. It would be a nice mixup and I think a lot of people would enjoy being able to use theme teams more.

Yeah cool idea. I only play with themes anyway but it still wouldn’t prevent the pros from dominating you if matchmaking isn’t right. The great players will slap you around with commons without a captain boost. They need to force those types into higher tiers
But great idea

On HOF and even Legend the game is a much more realistic experience and for some much more fun. I prefer it. UNTIL the sinker outlier is in play, and at HOF and Legend the sinker outlier is all that you’ll see. THAT is the real problem imo. As soon as you play people at that level they are doing everything they can to win, and why wouldn’t they be.
SDS chose to give way to many people a sinker, even some who have never even thrown them, and way too many maxed out sinkers on top of that. Who needs Orel and Seaver….Sandy Alcantaras goes 10mph faster, bounces, disappears for a second, and then dots the corner. In another two or three weeks the only 5 pitchers you’ll see at HOF and higher are the five best sinker outliers (by best I mean most glitched releases you can find)
It’s been the same way for years now. Go watch any tournament
-
Good and bad players agree - nerf the sinker. It's the only pitch that is tough to time up and barrel up - if you nerfed sinker, you could probably enlarge the strike zone and it would be fine.
-
I even hate terms meta, sinker, or cutter. Show me a baseball pitcher that does that in their day job and I’ll show you a 54.0 ERA
Why are those pitches “meta” who decided it and thump that guy
