Online noob questions

I'm one of those guys who much prefers to play offline. I'm older and simply don't have the reaction times to be competitive. Nor do I have hours and hours a day to practice. I can't even keep up with all the reward programs as they're released. However, more and more missions require online play, so I figured I need to dive in.

What is the difference between Ranked Seasons and Casual Online? Is there a difference in how an opponent is found? Or in the rewards? And BR is 3 inning games using a drafted team?

Thanks for any input on how someone feeling tentative about online play can start.

If you like rage quitters, toxic behavior, and people who obsess over this 24-7 rather than sitting back and enjoying the experience, this is the place for you. Good luck, man. It's why I don't play head to head online against actual people usually.

If you play casual online, the stats acquired don't count toward missions. Only online stats that count are Ranked, Events, and BR.

DON'T start w/ BR. Get your feet wet w/ Ranked and Events before you start spending stubs.

Welcome to the Old Man's Club as I am a proud member!!!

Casual online does not help in any stat mission. You can only accumulate stats for online missions in Ranked Seasons, BR and Events.

Yeah, but you also beg SDS to give you everything for free and lack the self-awareness to understand that your behavior is toxic.
