WS players are mediocre on a level playing field
-
I have a god team (prestige level 10) and I still get hammered by good players. so no, WS winners are typically legit very good players. I can't get past championship series and Im almost entirely 99... because Im just not as good. plain and simple

Can’t back this post unless your teams are 7+ diff in team overall
The orioles would beat the Yankees more often in the best of 3 innings rather then best of 9 innings. I love the Orioles, but I know the Yankees are the better team.
Think of team total salary as skill gap level
A team may have 3 or 4 99’s already but I think most maxed teams OVR is 94 and that’s rare yet

My RS rating is 411 but I have a winning record against WS players in BR. I'm convinced they're frauds and only put up monster stats in RS because they have a team full of 99s.
There should be better rewards for BR, that's a more realistic gauge. It's impossible to move up in RS when my team of golds is facing 26 diamonds every game.
Anything goes on all star level my guy.
This. Allstar for a 3 inning game is so open to randomness

I think the biggest meme on these forums is that "All-Star is completely random and allows trash to beat good players consistently" I know I'm gonna get a lot of replies on that one, but on any difficulty, the better player is going to win far more than they lose. Losing to the "worse player" consistently says a lot more about that player than it does his competition.

Different story in a 3 inning game..

Tom Glavine pitched 6 innings with 12 strikeouts. 1 hit. His pitch count was 76. First batter in the 7th inning I deliver a change-up a foot low (he hadn't touched one the entire game). I had perfect pitch.. This time the AI animation decides to show the pitch in the center of the plate. Of course, he blasts it into next week.
So now when the really strange AI controlled stuff starts happening I just set the controller down and let the Mercy Rule play out. Figure it's probably good for my opponent who has also been hosed by the clown software and the clown's that write it. Let them pad their batting stats, complete those programs quicker and what not.
Sometimes it's how you cope with a game that is so far off the rails it defies all the rules.
