Stop catering to the top 1 percent of players aka battle royale. Aka anything over 800 rank in ranked.

Simple solution would be to make it on “Allstar or higher”. I’d be down with that.

That should be enough of a middle ground wouldn’t ya think?

That was also back when each card set had its own corresponding program to go with it.

That seems really low to me. Wouldn't those cards be way more expensive if that was the case?

Taking away br and ranked reward programa is pure greed. All the proof you need.

This new management team really thinks their player base is dumb. This isnt Madden, a good portion of mlb player base are older.

The rewards were absolutely insane before they bumped it down to 10.

I also loved that they released silver and gold cards throughout the year to be used in BR. It made it financial worth it for people who weren't very good at the game to still play BR. It was my favorite mode. Now its just a shell of what it used to be.

Why would top players even bother going 10-0 to get an 87 worth 5k and a 50K Flawless reward?Only way to make stubs in ranked is to get to WS quickly before the rewards crash.

I think offline grinders probably are doing better on stubs than highly competitive online players these days.

I do agree otherwise.

But those guys who get past it and make ws are probably 5 percenters. I saw a recent stat only 5 percent can make ws throughout the course of the year. If they do it legitimate of course.

But, at this point, you may as well just replace BR with another mode - you've already taken away its program, and any rewards. What's the point of the mode? Replace it with a theme team mode or salary cap mode - or something that lets you build a cool team using your binder.

If you build a weird and cool team now, and try to play online....it feels like you're Bowling Green playing against Ohio State (switch hitting god team). You can do it, but its a frustrating uphill battle.

I agree with everything in this post except implying that people over 700 are one percenters, lol

Every week more missions to get you closer to the WS cards.

Online mini seasons and conquest sounds absolutely terrible not really sure how that’d work but having a risk type game with 8+ players for conquest would be a nightmare connection wise.

I wish for some more co-op. I hate the single player stuff but if they made it co-op I’d grind it out. It gets so mind numbing but if I had a friend doing it too it’d make it alright.

Mini seasons is a boring grind yes, but add that creativity you spoke of and make it only silver players for the NL East or something and conquest would be interesting having other people attacking the board, because the cpu makes the mode a mindless click fest with a dozen games sprinkled in. This seems like an easy solution to only having ranked and BR.

I don’t even bother with BR because I usually get caved in constantly. Frankly, it sucks. I have a hard enough time playing events and getting wins to finish programs.

Tier it like WC and it might make it a bit more palatable to people not in the top 10%

The game was much better when we had the BR program.
