If you haven’t played any ranked you are dropped to the lowest tier.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN ah okay. I’ll just keep playing because of the MP program. Just felt bad because there was a massive skill gap.

There definitely seems to be a Weekend Classic glitch for people who haven’t played Ranked this season.

I have a newborn and a toddler, so finding time for 9-inning online games has been tough lately. I finished last Ranked season in the 700s, which dropped me to 550 for this season. I haven’t touched Ranked since the last Weekend Classic, so I was expecting to be placed in the 500-600 WC bracket.

Instead, I’m somehow in the 0-399 bracket.

I really don’t care about the rewards - I’ll just buy the players I want. I actually feel worse for the people I’m getting matched up against.

So far:

First-inning quit

Mercy-rule win

Friendly (I accepted)

12-5 win, and I was taking my foot off the gas or would have been another mercy

It also took a while to find games, which makes me wonder if something is off with the matchmaking/bracket placement.

Has anyone else who hasn’t played Ranked this season experienced this?

Not saying I’m some amazing player, but my actual skill level is probably closer to the 850-900 range, so I feel a little guilty beating up on people who are legitimately supposed to be in the 0-399 division.

What would you guys do? Just stop playing WC games for the weekend so I don’t ruin anyone elses’ runs?

I was told that you HAVE to play at least one Ranked game, per season, to keep your last rating for WC.
