<![CDATA[Forcing BR]]>Ik there’s probably a couple other threads about this, but forcing people that might not be the best at the game like me to play br for the new program sucks. I’m rated about 500 and play people with 20x flawless banners. All I’m in br for is the 5 wins missions, and I’m spending so many stubs on the entry fees. It infuriates me that to get this done we HAVE to play certain modes, while some of us can’t even play online bc they might not have ps plus or game pass. We definitely are able to play our way though!

Yep, all this. If they’d have made BR free it’d be a cool thing and more people would try BR

I actually enjoyed my first few BR runs. I didn't win much but it was fun. Then I kept just being outclassed. I know I'm not great but I don't enjoy the reminder.

So, how does SDS encourage more players of different skills to play it? Thats the fix. Get more people in there, so it ain't just elites.

A BR program would help a TON, but these programs and missions are okay too.

Get rid of cheaters for starters. Game is infested and I would bet my house SDS knows it.

Lose the $1500 entry fee. Does anyone actually get anything out of the free pack? I know I don't.

Make the first game or two against people in your own ranked rating. Let me guess, elites don't want to play someone of their own skill the first few games but it's OK for a 400 ranked player to play 20x flawless.

Holy heck! $1500 to play BR! Thats outrageous! 🤪

'Do I honestly have a chance to win?' and 'Am I grinding enough stats for it to be worth my time to continue?' Only when the game reaches a point where the answer to both of those questions is No will I quit.

Id rather get smoked and watch what they are doing. Maybe I can pick up something to get better.

Or I can just cry and say im never playing online again. And play mini seasons a 100 times lmao.. alot of people do that.

These guys know who to draft, they know all the silver and bronze pitchers and they know how to hit them, they have all the br silver and gold cards p5.

Br plays nothing like ranked and these guys know that. In ranked you swing to put the ball in play. In BR its all about hitting HRs. Also in BR you have to be good at hitting bad pitchers. In ranked youre used to hitting the best pitching cards. It sounds silly, but its not easy going from facing miz, degrom, Felix, on hall of fame to facing silver and bronze pitchers on allstar in a 3 inning game.

I hate br. I habe every other part of the program done. I finished the online program playing ranked im tbe 7 to 8 hundreds. Im lole 2-4 in BR trying to get these 5 wins lol.

They killed BR this year. The casuals left when they removed the program.

But it is that lopsided. Why play if you're going to make no progress and lose every game? It's for top players only

For me personally, I don't like to play BR because it seems like I'm playing someone like op stated with a 20x flawless banner, and I'm throwing stubs and time out the window so I can get crushed. Why waste my time playing if 95% of the time I'm going to lose because I'm so outmatched? BR is for Elites only
